Daniel Björkman and Jesper Åman

DaJe solves the problem of concussions in football with a discreet and functional head protection that reduces the risk of head injury by up to 60%. The protector, designed as a sporty headband, is made of shock-absorbing material that effectively redistributes force during collisions. It is particularly adapted for children and adolescents, with adjustable design and high comfort. With patentable solutions, sustainable materials and a leading role in creating EU standards, DaJe combines safety, innovation and long-term societal benefits.

Daniel and Jesper want to reduce the risk of brain damage

Ice hockey, downhill skiing and cycling are just a few examples of sports where nobody questions the need for a helmet anymore. But in football, the world's biggest sport, head protection is very rare.

- We want to help change that norm, especially in children's and youth football where players are particularly vulnerable," says Daniel Björkman, one of the founders of Daje Prevent, which is developing a new form of head protection.
