THE ORGANISERS
Organiser behind the event is Ocean Plastic Forum - a partner and member organization working towards developing technologies and business models for collecting plastic from the ocean, rivers, seashores, harbors, and waters globally.
The aim is to improve the environment in the aquatic sphere and along the shores by recovering the plastic. The aim is also to cycle the recovered plastic as high as possible in the value chain with the largest possible plastic quantities recycled into new products, alternatively, technologies that convert the plastic so it can be recycled in the form of monomer recovery / new polymers. 
DANISH INDUSTRY FOUNDATION (DIF)
The Foundation is an engaged philanthropic foundation with the purpose of supporting and enhancing the competitiveness of the Danish industry.
Competitiveness is crucial to the future success of Danish companies. The industry and business communities are key elements to growth, prosperity and job creation. In collaboration with the scientific and educational institutions, these key elements can create, market and export innovative business concepts and technologies, which will lead to a sustainable growth - economically as well as environmentally. WHAT DIF DO
The Foundation supports projects that generate application-oriented knowledge, new competences and innovation, benefiting the industry. Through inspiration and project development, the Foundation's means must help bridge cooperation between science and business. As well as supporting application-based projects, the Foundation also develops its own strategic initiatives within areas that can contribute to an overall strengthening of the industry and business communities.
Each year, the Foundation aims at funding projects for up to 30 Million Euros. All projects must be open-sourced, and consistent with our mission and strategy. Thus, the Foundation's secretariat is actively engaged in all projects, and emphasizes communicating and sharing the findings and outcomes for the benefit of the applicants, companies, scientific community and other stakeholders.
Established in 1898, the Danish Industry Foundation is a registered business foundation and reports its annual accounts to the Danish Business Authority. In cooperation with the secretariat, a board of directors governs the Foundation's equity of approximately 650 Million Euros.

TOMORROW
IS NO MORE THAN THE CHOICES WE MAKE TODAY - ADAPT
OR PERISH
We
would urge those who do care about out planet to lobby politicians for
common sense, starting with you local MP.
A growing number of corporations are now pushing for a sustainable economy.
We
all need to think about changing to a circular economy
with food
security and sustainable recycling of waste as hard points, but also
cleaning up the mess we have created.
Those
of you who saw what was going on and just stood on the sidelines, will have their great grand children
to answer to. Many great civilizations have exhausted their natural
resources. The ancient Egyptians, Incas and Aztecs. Your contribution will
be a pyramid of plastic, for what is left of humanity to wonder at.
