Oslo/New York, 13 April 2021 - Xplora Technologies (OSE: XPLORA) and UNICEF USA are proud to announce today a new partnership agreement for Xplora to support the UNICEF Kid Power® Program in giving kids the power to save lives by connecting their everyday activities to real-world impact. As children get active and complete steps through the Xplora smartwatch or free mobile app, they will unlock two types of impact: meals for families locally and water tablets for children and families around the world.
Xplora was founded with the mission of giving children a safe onboarding to digital life and encouraging a better balance between screen time and physical activity. A total of 350,000 smartwatches for kids have been sold since the company was launched, resulting in a rapid international expansion.

“We are truly proud of partnering with this important and life-saving UNICEF USA program, which fits perfectly into Xplora’s vision of enabling children around the world to experience how their everyday activities can make a positive change in the world,” says Sten Kirkbak, CEO of Xplora.
“At UNICEF Kid Power, we believe kids have the power to make real-world impact, and our mission is to inspire kids to believe that too,” said Troy Hickerson, Co-founder of UNICEF Kid Power. “We are very excited to announce this partnership with Xplora, and we love that kids’ own activity is what unlocks the impact.”
As a foundation of its sustainability approach, Xplora has identified five sustainability development goals (SDGs) for the company to focus its initiatives on. These include reduction of poverty, promotion of good health, quality education and gender equality, as well as taking urgent actions to combat climate change. In a recent Xplora sustainability initiative to promote gender equality, the non-profit organization Black Girls CODE was provided with five scholarships calculated by the number of steps taken by the Xplora community of users. And in 2020 Xplora, as part of a partnership with the nonprofit organization One Tree Planted, planted more than 40,000 trees in British Columbia as a result of the number of sold units over a certain period.
“In the future we hope to establish more initiatives together with UNICEF Kid Power and other partners through which we bring attention to the sustainability goals and positive change to the world by encouraging our community to stay active,” Kirkbak says.

Dette selskapet gir gass
Tok 6 måneder fra han kjøpte til nedsalg begynte men jeg trodde genuint at dette var et for bra case til å selge seg ut av såpass “tidlig”. Men han tjener gode penger så mange steder at det virker som han ikke ønsker å ha en så stor andel i ett selskap.
