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.


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.


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


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

Showcase. 2017

Nordic 24/7 has received 300.000€ of private and public

investments in 2016.

The investments raised this year to 1,600.000€.

The company has concluded business deals with Coca-

STAB VIDA, was born in 2001, by the initiative of a

young geneticist, by that time still a PhD student. The

mission was to deliver more genetics to the world

through either research laboratories, diagnostics

laboratories, or even the general public. Because of

that, we built laboratories specialised in genetics, that

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.

Recently, it was added to the company’s mission the

reduction of waste in laboratories, and was created a

website called Klever Science where all laboratories

can offer and sell their leftovers to other interested

laboratories for a cheaper price.
