The company was founded in 2010 by Liisa
Petrykowska who gathered a team of scientists and
researchers from institutions like NASA and moved to
West Africa. In 2013 the company started piloting
with farmers, and now have a team of 15 top
meteorological scientists, programmers, and
emerging market business experts - all of whom work
and live in West Africa. The team is working to
provide better weather forecasts for the tropical
region, especially for farmers as they produce 70% of
the food in Sub-Saharan Africa and are often those
who are the most vulnerable, and can benefit the
most .
Our product:
Ignitia provides highly accurate forecasts for small scale
farmers via SMS. The company developed a weather model
specifically calibrated for the tropics, resulting in forecasts
that are twice as accurate as global models (~84%). We get
these forecasts to farmers by partnering with telcos to send
GPS-specific daily forecasts, as well as monthly and
seasonal predictions. The message is sent in a simple text-
lite format, and can be received on any mobile phone (no
smartphone required). Farmers don’t have to pay a large
sum upfront, instead they subscribe via their mobile
operator and pay in micro-instalments from their existing
mobile credit. It costs just $0.03/message, adding up to just
1%-2% of a farmer’s total costs for a year.
Our target audience:
The company is looking for business that work along the
agricultural supply chain, especially those that have direct
linkages with small scale farmers. Additionally, Ignitia is
reaching out for business that are operating in the
telecommunications space.

At Nordic 24/7 Services our mission is to engineer eco
-friendly coolers that give major POS and POP brands
the ability to improve their green social responsibility
and reduce waste while boosting their retail presence.
Our product:
Home of CoolTM is a unique environment friendly
electronic cooler that uses an innovative combination of
peltier elements and insulation materials, hence omitting
completely the compressor and refrigerant fluid. The only
moving part is an efficient and low-cost coil fan, similar to a
computer fan, which blows the hot air away from the unit.
The fan has a lifetime that is at least five times longer than
that of the compressor (depends on quality of fan).
Therefore, the greatest benefit of the cooler is that it is
service free. Changing the fan is a simple and cheap
technical solution, and the
replaced fan (composed of
plastic, magnets and
copper coil windings) is
not a threat to the
environment. Moreover,
our refrigerator elements
take less than 8% of the
total volume of the cooler
(compressor is 30%).
Hence, another benefit is
that our coolers take 60% less space and are 70% lighter
than the smallest compressor coolers available in the
market. Other important benefit of our cooler is that it is
vibration free and it is free from any chemical regulation
since the fluid refrigerant has been removed. Furthermore,
the coolers do not contain any flammable gases, hence
certifications are by far lower than conventional coolers.
All these benefits lead to huge cost savings in
manufacturing and maintenance.
Bottom line: the solution gives the customers great benefits
for a lower price!
This radical achievement in cooling technology, has allowed
Nordic 24/7 to be the first company to offer POS & POP
(Point Of Sales and Point Of Purchase) coolers that can be
placed in limited spaces, such as next to the cash register.
Our target audience:
The company is seeking wholesalers and distributors and in
addition subcontractors in EPS, EPP factories as well as the
component assembly partners.
Why us:
Nordic 24/7 was awarded the European Union’s Horizon
2020 SME Instrument grant of €50 000 for its project.
The company has received the following awards:
Seal of Excellence. European Commission. 2016.
TOP 300 Start-ups Worldwide. Hello Tomorrow
Summit in Paris 2016.
Best Nordic Companies 2017.
Most Innovative International Non-Food and and
Services Award. Malaysian International Halal

now receive around 2000 biological samples per day,
for DNA studies. These can be tumour biopsies,
samples of marine environments for finding bacterial
populations, or even bird feathers for genotyping. The
company is also a research company, focusing its
scientists team in 3 diseases: Lyme disease, Alzheimer
disease and lung cancer.
