Introducing our speakers:

Anira Orlando
Anira is a young transwoman in her early 20s. She has lived a turbulent life, filled with a lot of both good and bad experiences.
She grew up in a marrocan/danish household. Because of the culture she had born into, she had to opt out her family at 18 in favour of living an authentic life.
And then she became Anira, moved to London and started over.
Anira will tell us about her life, her experiences and how she self-proclaimed became ’the baddest bitch’.

Global currents in technology are hinting towards an emerging major trend of tossing patents and copyrights in favor of building communities of co-creators as a way to scale and accelerate business. This is not only in software, but increasingly also for physical products. How do you open your design for remixing and free re-use while still building a profitable business? Hardware companies, makers, business developers and other curious festival audience are welcome at this presentation and Q&A to explore together with REMODEL how manufacturing businesses can use open source methodology to develop environmentally sustainable and economically sound business models for physical products.

This Meetup uncovers how you can use AI solutions to improve your business. Participants will team up in a hands-on session for developing AI solutions and data strategies, matching the user needs with individual AI technology. It’s for anyone from top managers to innovation labs, product developers, service designers, and digital product designers. No background in design tools or AI technology is necessary, both experts and newbies are welcome. Just show up with an appetite for discovering!

Signe vil fortælle om hvordan man kan skifte fokus fra “Hvad jeg har lyst til at skabe” til “Hvem vil jeg skabe værdi for”.

– OLE SMITH:
Ole Smith er arkitekt med mange års erfaring fra større internationale tegnestuer og har sammen med sin partner Pernille Bisgaard lavet projekter i bl.a. London, New York og Hong Kong. For 3 år siden tog de springet og startede deres egen selvstændige tegnestue NOAA Architects i København.

So many businesses are born out of personal drive, challenge, passion or a need to spread the message that is dear to a founder’s heart.

Some of these reasons made Agnete Bjerre-Madsen create “Moons and Junes” – a Copenhagen-based lingerie brand devoted to providing an everyday luxury to women and helping women feel beautiful and confident in their own skin.

By founding this company, Agnete wanted to challenge the traditional perception of beauty and create underwear that emphasizes women’s natural shapes – instead of creating new ones with stuffing and push-up.

But how great mission can be transformed into a profitable business? What challenges you can meet on the way? These and other questions will be discussed when Agnete share her personal story of founding her company.

No sign up needed. If you are not a member of Republikken, just come by Vesterbrogade 26, get a workpass in our front desk and join the talk.

Hope to see you,

Republikken & Agnete

Improvisers recognize opportunities as they arise and learn how to be flexible in their thinking, constantly reframing the situation.
Where most people see only problems, improvisers see ‘offers’ as well. Instead of lamenting setbacks, they focus on finding a way to use them.

Join us in this talk and learn how you can start using improvisation to spark spontaneous creativity and develop a new way of thinking, all while sharing a few laughs in the process.
