Students from JA Denmark Win First-Ever JA Global Entrepreneurship Award; Receive NFTs, Cash Prize, and Further Educational Opportunities
Until recently, the highest award that a JA youth-entrepreneurship company could earn was the coveted first-place prize at one of JA’s six regional competitions. But this year, JA Worldwide has added a global prize for student companies: The de la Vega Global Entrepreneurship Award.
The 2021 award winners were announced today by tech-legend Ralph de la Vega, former President and CEO of AT&T Mobile and Business Solutions. Each of the six finalists were automatically entered after winning Company of the Year at their regional competitions and included teams from Singapore (JA Asia Pacific), Southeast Texas (Junior Achievement USA), Denmark (JA Europe), Oman (INJAZ Al-Arab JA MENA), eSwatini (JA Africa), and Peru (JA Americas).
Ultimately, the team from JA Denmark (Fonden for Entreprenørskab) triumphed. The team wins a cash prize of US $15,000, as well as an entrepreneurship course from the institution of their choice. Each team member also receives a non-fungible token (NFT) that represents one of only five copies of a digital graphic specially created for this year’s winner by designer and artist Masha Eizner, with its authenticity verified through the blockchain.
The winning company, Bubbles, improves communication between educators and students who suffer from attention deficit and hyperactivity disorders (ADHD). Students wear noise-cancelling headsets that eliminate audio distractions and create a direct line of communication between teacher and student, thus improving academic performance. Nicklas Stokholm, 19, Christian Ørum, 18, and Kevin Albin, 20, came together in a class called Innovation, which includes the JA Company Program. Their idea originated as Christian watched his sister struggle with ADHD. “We soon realized it was not only my sister who was affected by this,” Christian said. “A lot of other students were influenced, including many other diagnoses that inhibited their ability to focus in class.” Learn more about Bubbles.

UNICC and ShelterZoom Developed a Secure Document Tracking and E-Signature Solution for the UN System
The United Nations International Computing Center (UNICC) and ShelterZoom are pleased to announce a new innovative blockchain-based solution for controlling and protecting the digital data of UN entities and other international organizations. As the largest strategic partner for digital solutions and cybersecurity within the UN system, UNICC has partnered with ShelterZoom, a leading data and content protection and ownership SaaS company behind innovations such as Document Token® technology and Document GPS®.
Building upon the 50 years of experienced innovation from the UNICC, the two organizations collaborated on a transformational undertaking offering robust protection and promising increased productivity for document tracking and management. ShelterZoom will contribute its proprietary document tokenization technology, along with its data protection, document tracking and e-signature solutions to deliver a white-labeled platform, giving member organizations a greater level of governance over their content. Using ShelterZoom’s flagship proprietary Single Source Of Truth® technology, the solution provides a means for each file to be protected individually without changing user normal habits instead of having to rely solely on protecting files at the database level. This ‘singularity and control’ is a new era in cybersecurity and document management, which has never been seen before at this level of seamless integration with existing tools.
“The synergy between what we deliver and the goals of the United Nations are a perfect match for Single Source Of Truth,” said Chao Cheng-Shorland, CEO and Cofounder of ShelterZoom. “We have said from the beginning that it is time to think about cybersecurity in a completely new way and in doing so we have created a solution to address other operational pain points while simultaneously solving one of the biggest challenges facing the global population today. The UN is at the frontlines of changing the world for the better and its forward-thinking approach to using technology to address fundamental issues is critical in improving livelihoods for all.”
ShelterZoom solutions have already been in use across dozens of industries and with this new commercial partnership, they can now extend their usefulness to the UN family and other international organizations. The revolutionary method for complete document tracking with built-in productivity tools, such as digital signatures and a market-first method for organizing files inside email, is an all-in-one solution built for a global workforce. The Single Source of Truth model has the added benefit of decreasing the carbon footprint created by excessive digital waste, further supporting the sustainability goals of the United Nations.
“The need for robust cybersecurity and data protection has never been greater,” said Sameer Chauhan, Director of UNICC. “By working together with ShelterZoom, we have developed a cutting-edge tool tailored to the needs of the UN family. Our unwavering commitment to providing best-in-class solutions ensures we continue to support the digital transformation and modernization of the UN system and other international organizations.”
