Open up the world again
The Corona pandemic has changed our lives drastically, also mine. The idea of the Airport Vaccination Center came from my own painful experience. I am living in Finland, but my children live in the Netherlands. For more than a year, I have not been able to see them.
It has been frustrating. It felt like being in jail. Then, one evening while taking a sauna I had a “eureka” moment. “What if people could come to get the vaccine instead of the vaccine coming to them?!”
For more than 20 years I have worked in Airport logistics managing large groups of people and cargo going to airports for flights and planning international air cargo ”cool-chain” logistics across borders. With this background, we were able to create from an idea into a patent. Now, the AVC Platform and App helps to relieve people from the pain Corona has caused and provides people all over the world an equal access to get the vaccine.
Airport Vaccination Center solution is a ”hybrid EXIT strategy” and a blueprint for governments and health organizations to exit the pandemic faster and save massive costs related to corona pandemic.
“I wish that all people in the world could reunite with their family and loved ones. Therefore, I encourage you to contact us for a product demo”.
