Lincoln Method is a progressive way of learning that focuses on addressing a learner’s weak areas. The learning happens by supplementing what has been taught in the classroom. For the areas where the learner is weak, the concepts are further clarified by showing them a playlist of videos that present a variety of viewpoints. As a result, the learner receives a holistic view of the concepts and has a better grasp of the overall subject. Lincoln Method’s secret sauce is its ability to identify areas of weakness for each learner. Once the weak areas are known, then correcting any misconceptions becomes relatively easy.

For many people living in cities, owning a car isn’t a part of their reality. People get around on foot, on bikes, and using public transportation. But what about when you need to travel long-distance between cities and smaller communities? For some, the answer is to rent a car, or take a train or long-distance bus. But renting a car is expensive and ecologically unsound, and public transport, when available, lacks the convenience and flexibility of cars and can still be on the expensive side.
For KeyTech, the answer lies in carpooling. A dedicated group of users in Finland already use carpooling as a way to get around, but current ways of arranging rides, Facebook and WhatsApp groups primarily, still add unnecessary difficulty to the process, thus limiting the broader adoption of carpooling. KeyTech wants to provide a mobile app-based service to help those interested in carpooling make it easier to find and offer rides, making long-distance travel easier, cheaper, and more environmentally friendly.

Caring for young people with disabilities and/or special needs can be a challenging experience for parents and loved ones. As family members of young people with disabilities themselves, the JINA team has noticed the difficulties migrant parents can face in receiving information about services for their child with disabilities. Often, due to language barriers, parents face difficulties in having theirs and their children’s needs met in schools, social services, and other institutions. And while there are many organisations assisting people with disabilities or migrants, there are currently none which exist at the intersection of migrant parenthood and disability.
JINA aims to solve this issue by creating a space where migrant parents who face cultural and language barriers can advocate for themselves and their families in their native language. The foundation would work alongside native speakers who are knowledgeable about existing services and can help families communicate with those institutions, while also aiming to provide a social space for both parents and children.

Urban lives today are often hectic and solitary, which often leads to people turning to pets for company. However, pets often require a lot more energy and time to tend to than owners are able to provide as solo pet-parents, especially those who are new to the experience, leading to a high rate of pets being abandoned or given up for re-adoption by overwhelmed owners.
Pawple aims to solve this by creating a community platform for pet owners to connect with and provide support to each other. With events, meetups, a shared pool of useful resources to help properly care for your furry friend, and a map with information on pet-friendly places, Pawple hopes to give pets and owners all that they need to have an easier and happier life together.

Learning about STEM can be great fun for kids, but oftentimes when learning new concepts, just hearing about them without any practical demonstration can make it difficult for younger students in primary and lower secondary schools to fully grasp what they’re being taught.
Team Ujuzi Solutions' answer is to develop equipment and animations that would facilitate the childrens’ learning. After viewing simple and fun animations explaining the concept at hand and its real-world applications, children would get to experiment themselves with the equipment, which would use simple electronics and photonics like lenses and lasers, to understand and internalise the new concepts through practical yet fun activities.

The team at Edutainment Helsinki sees a problem: while we now have more time for leisure available to us than ever before thanks to more humane working hours and our longer lifespans, the way we spend that time isn’t conducive to our development as people or a healthier society. We are increasingly isolated in our online communities and activities, with less contact with others or ability to engage with those outside of our bubbles. And when we do leave these online spaces, the available offerings gravitate around consuming and sports rather than self-development.
Edutainment Helsinki wants to provide an alternative: a community and space for engaging edutainment events for people of all ages and backgrounds to meet with others, find both new friends and people with different views with whom they can exchange ideas and engage constructively, and attend interesting events where they can learn new skills and knowledge and have a place to work on that development.

Most organisations are bound to conduct some form of international activity sooner or later. However, leaving one’s home market is an activity that is inherently loaded with risk, even if those in the organisation do not realise it themselves. But even for those who understand that there is some due diligence to be made, doing so can be difficult.
Meaningful hopes to help with that. By leveraging vast networks of contacts and an extensive knowledge in economic, security, and political affairs in a number of regions, Meaningful can provide country-based risk management estimates and support to ensure that any international operations are conducted in a way that is aware of and equipped to deal with any and all potential challenges.

As globalisation, migration, and multicultural families become ever more common, parents are often faced with the challenge of raising their children multilingually. How can you ensure that your child speaks not only all of the family’s languages, but also other important international and local ones too? For many, finding resources that support and motivate their children’s multilanguage development can be challenging, and bringing books and toys from abroad can be expensive and nigh-on impossible.
The Minikie Factory, using Luciana’s experience as a teacher and mother trying to teach languages to her daughter and students, wants to provide multilingual and playful experiences to children in Finland by designing and selling sustainably produced multilingual toys, games, books, accessories and other items to help foster multilingual growth through fun while also supporting the children’s overall development.

Project SKILLZ wants to develop a tool for career progression management allowing for clear career development paths and allowing people to be given opportunities for based on merit. The team envisages a visual representation of data based on employees’ measured skills and capabilities, such as proficiency in a language, coding abilities, and so on.
This way, employers could eliminate bias from their decision making when hiring and providing new opportunities, and help set clear development goals for employees that both parties can track. The increased transparency in career progression would help workplaces be more empowering for the people working there who would be more aware of how to equip themselves for their own career, and help companies facilitate their employees’ growth and promote the right people for the right roles.

WWA seeks to create a pre-school that provides a warm and welcoming environment where Ukrainian families displaced by the ongoing conflict can feel comfortable and supported as they navigate their new surroundings. By offering this space where both the whole family can learn and grow while maintaining a connection with their roots, WWA aims to promote the successful integration of these families into their new communities.
The team plans to recruit qualified teachers to use Finnish early childhood education models to support the children, while also placing a heavy focus on parent and family involvement in their educational approach. The pre-school will also feature multilanguage learning to help the children grow to their full potential, and eventually seeks to broaden their offering to families of all backgrounds who are seeking for a safe, playful, and inclusive multicultural atmosphere where all can learn, grow, and thrive.

STEM education in its current form in Finnish schools doesn’t emphasize practice enough, frontloading students with plenty of theory, but not giving students the chance to learn by doing. The result is a bunch of confused students who, when they enter working life, have plenty of theoretical knowledge but little understanding of how to apply those in practice.
STEMverse seeks to create a mostly digital education platform that provides students with video lessons before moving on to hands-on exercises and projects, with teachers helping answer questions and facilitating the students’ practical tasks. Learning by doing, making, and accomplishing is how STEMverse sees students truly learn and internalise new skills and concepts.

Participatory Visual Methods, or PVM, is a methodology utilising collaborative processes to help conduct research which has a lot of potential in supporting research activities across the world. However, outside of the Global North, access to trainers and resources to conduct research utilising this methodology is limited, and deploying trainers from the Global North either requires stable, rapid, unlimited internet access which is unavailable to many, or the flying in of these trainers which is a wholly unsustainable endeavour.
The answer is to develop a comprehensive digital tool such as a mobile application which could be used offline and would include all the required resources for a PVM project. This would allow for the propagation of the methodology with greater ease as trainers could assist through less data-intensive methods like WhatsApp, and reduce the dependence on external funding for projects using PVM as the spread and training of the method could be done with the help of the app. In the end, the app would help researchers and communities across the world conduct activities that brings more people in to the process and produce results of greater quality.

In today’s marketplace greenwashing has become a pervasive problem. Businesses and companies are increasingly capitalising on consumers’ growing environmental awareness by making false and misleading claims about their sustainability practices. This deceptive marketing not only undermines genuine efforts to combat climate change and environmental degradation, but also leaves consumers, businesses, and regulators in the dark about the true environmental impact of products and services.
To address this problem, the team's solution proposes a data-driven platform that rates and reviews products and companies based on their environmental impact and transparency in sustainability claims. By providing accurate and reliable assessments, they would empower stakeholders to make informed decisions, support genuinely sustainable products and companies, and promote responsible consumption for a healthier planet and a more sustainable future.

The aim of the team's project is to upcycle waste materials brought to them by both businesses and individuals and upcycle them into unique, sustainable items. Pallets, pipes, jars, bottles, or any other object can be given a new, special life by being turned into coffee tables, lamps, chairs, shelves, or toys.
The hope us for individuals to be able to buy these finished pieces, sell their own unwanted objects to be upcycled, and take part in workshops to learn how to repurpose objects at home.

As Vietnam struggles with plastic waste and its generation, ranking fourth globally in terms of waste created, and proper recycling of this waste remains low, Mekoco hopes to address this issue by empowering female farmers in the country's Mekong Delta to take an active part in the recycling of plastic waste and turn the plastic into new products and home decor items.
By recognising that there are seasons during which farmers are not engaged as much by their farming duties, Mekoco seeks to provide the with additional income and increased self-reliance by enabling them to weave these eco-friendly products in their down time. The products would then be sold in Finland, the Nordics, and eventually at a global scale, allowing for people around the world to enjoy the unique crafts of the Mekong Delta while also helping alleviate the impact of unrecycled plastic waste on the Vietnamese environment.

When a car crashes, is heavily damaged, or comes to the end of its lifecycle, too often much of the still usable materials and spare parts remain underutilised, if they are recycled or reused at all. At the same time a market for these parts and materials, some of which are very scarce and highly valued, exists in many countries, especially in the global south. In these markets, repairing cars and extending their lifecycles far past what is typical in the global North means that there is a constant demand for these crucial parts and materials which often end up overlooked in countries like Finland.
The team's solution is to find those cars which would otherwise be destroyed and systematically dismantle them in order to distribute all parts which can be reused to those markets that need them, boosting the circular economy.

For many people, the idea of acting sustainably is one that could be interesting, but they feel like finding ways to do so is difficult, and many of the options available are inconvenient. This kind of thinking is slowing down the transition from a linear economy to a circular one, which calls for a systemic change on how people view sustainability and a further increase in visibility of available sustainable brands and services.
Funfo imagines a web application that provides a concrete, consolidated list of verified sustainable products under various categories (cosmetics, food, clothes, etc.), alongside their prices and compares them to non-sustainable options. In addition, the team would partner with others in the ecosystem to provide interactive workshops which would give consumers a space to be hands-on and learn how to refurbish products usually seen as waste. The hope is to make being sustainable fun, light, and easy for people.

In our current society as never before there is a compelling need for decision-makers leading businesses, municipalities or whole cities, to be able to make informed, mindful decisions which would fundamentally account for their short- and long-term consequences. In order to take responsibility and admit accountability for the full environmental and social impacts of their decisions, the private or public leaders have to possess essential knowledge and expertise to do so. As far as the planetary ecological and social degradation goes, it is remarkably clear that there is a lack of thereof.
Team Prosultants wishes to help that. With multidisciplinary expertise, insights, knowledge, capabilities and tools they plan to facilitate transformation of the private and/or public sector for a liveable future. They draw inspiration from circular economy, regenerative models, bio-mimicry, and the doughnut economics framework to re-design businesses and create product solutions with the entire life-cycle in mind. The team would equip public decision-makers with empirical evidence what sustainable actions are the most beneficial and what are the costs of inaction. In addition, they would assist companies to comply with tightening regulations and provide actionable solution-services for local authorities with focus on impact assessment and forecast modelling as the road-map for fact-based sustainability actions planning.

Urban people are highly dependent on food supplied from expansive supply networks. This not only lowers their self-sufficiency, but also leaves the abundant resources for food production in urban environments unused. The team's mission is of increasing local food production in cities would shorten supply chains, reduce carbon footprints as well as the heat island effect of cities, increase urban biodiversity, and add more green spaces. This would be done by using unoccupied and underutilised spaces such as rooftops, cellars, or non-productive lawns and parks.
Users could rent spaces all year round and grow a variety of plants, including exotic ones, while also being part of a growing community where people could share tips for growing vegetables, exchange products, or offer their crop to those wanting to buy.
Members: David Israel, Kim Yrjälä
Green spaces are often heavily managed, but produce very little in return. This is partly due to low biodiversity and degraded soils. By changing the style of management and incorporating more forest gardens, the effort and resources required to maintain green spaces would be decreased, while also increasing the benefits brought by nature to our lives.
The team is looking to run a proof-of-concept to redesign green spaces to emulate natural ecosystems, which would increase the amount of useful outputs such as food, fibre, and timber as well as improve biodiversity. This would also help restore soil and fertility as forest ecosystems naturally do, while reducing erosion, nutrient leeching, and eventually further improve productivity. The hope is that a successful PoC would then lead to a spreading of this model elsewhere through advisory services etc.
