At 16, Sara Naseri got an idea that may
change the world. An idea so simple that
you think, why hasn’t this been done long
ago? And because she got another good
idea that made it possible to realise the
first one, she now works with scientists
and travels all over the world as CEO of
her own company. Read the story about
creative talent, ambitions, and the will to
reach the top as a global entrepreneur.
24 ULRIcH BEcK: VISIONS FOR a NEw EUROPE
The fear of a European catastrophe
has given birth to a political monster:
a German Europe! Yet how should a
new model for a European Union of
Democracies look, asks professor of
sociology Ulrich Beck in this essay
where he himself provides the answer
in a form of vision for the future.
28 MEGaPROjEcT IN BURMa
A gigantic construction project in
southern Burma resurrects old dreams
about rapid access to markets in Thailand
and China. The project is expected to
reduce transport times of oil and goods
to China with up to 12 days. The project is
at once a grand idea about transportation
and free trade and an event with
substantial consequences for the
environment and the local community.

When she was 16, Sara Naseri had an idea that could change the world. Because she had a second idea that made it possible to bring the first one to fruition, she now works with scientists and travels around
the world as the CEO of her own company. Read her story about creative talent, ambitions and the persistence to get to the top as a global entrepreneur.
hen she was 16, Sara Naseri had an idea that might well change the world.
Because she also had a second idea that made it possible to actually implement
the first one, she now works with a range of professors around the world. In the meantime,
she has turned 21 and gone from being a high school student to travelling around the
world as the CEO of her own company, which pundits predicted has excellent
opportuniti es for a commercial breakthrough.
Her original idea is so simple that you’d probably wonder why it hadn’t been done
long before, or whether it can really be true that nobody had thought of this before?
The idea is simply to put ozone into a lotion, so you can form your own personal ozone
layer on your body. This ozone layer can protects you against UV rays from the sun, and
can supplement or replace the enormous ozone layer high above our heads in the
stratosphere. This, unfortunately, has been worn thin or eaten through in many places,
and as a result millions of people are exposed to heightened risk of sunlight-related
damage.
“I got the idea with my then-schoolmate Emilie Kjeldsen, who is now my business
partner,” says Sara, who throughout my interview with her makes it clear that they are
and always have been two about the development and realisation of their shared invention.

THE FIRST GOOd IdEa
I talk with Sara several times on Skype. She is in Silicon Valley, I
in Copenhagen. I ask her to tell her story from the beginning. We
are back in October 2008, to her high school days in Denmark,
when the two students dreamed of studying medicine after
graduat ing. Their hope was one day to be able to cure skin cancer.
They set themselves a more realistic (if still ambitious) goal – to
study how existing sunscreens could be improved to provide better
protection against cancer. This was done before, during and after
physics lessons at school.
“Back then, we spoke with a number of local pharmacies,
bought a bunch of sunscreens and went nerdy with tests all the
time. It was creative, and we
built the glass frames for the tests
ourselves,” Sara tells me.
However, after a number of
tests, it became clear to the two
girls that it simply wasn’t possible
to improve existing sunscreens.
The chemical grids of metal
oxides that traditional sunscreen
is made of cannot be made tighter.
Alternative thinking was re-
quired, and the idea of adding
ozone thus came into being:
“We thought that when there’s
a lack of ozone in the ozone layer
above us, then it should be
possib le to bring the ozone down
to the ground and create a
person al ozone layer on the skin. It was as simple as that.”
The girls decided to take part in Science Cup, an annual Danish
entrepreneurial contest for students in secondary education. They
had about six months to get their idea ready for the regional finals.
Their goal was to win and go through to the national finals.
There was just one problem: ozone is very corrosive. It is a
so-called aggressive oxidiser, which in larger quantities would
attack mucous membranes. This means you can’t simply add
ozone to sunscreens.
At about this time, good idea number 2 came along.
THE SEcONd GOOd IdEa
If ozone is too dangerous to add directly to the sunscreen, it should
be possible to encapsulate it in something, the girls thought. But
what?
The answer came during a chemistry lesson in which Sara saw
an image of a so-called buckyball (see fact box). This is a naturally
occurring molecule resembling a soccer ball that scientists have
managed to reproduce artificially.
“When we saw the buckyball, we got very excited and started
googling. It should be possible to put ozone into one of them, we
thought – a bit like opening one of the panels of a soccer ball and
closing it again. This meant the ball could serve as a container,”
Sara tells me.
The girls started researching
who in the world knew anything
about buckyballs. Among those
they contacted were chemists at
Aarhus University, and in a
professor’s office they saw a
poster of a buckyball , on which
the Nobel laureate Harold Kroto
(see fact box) also appeared.
“We saw his name and
thought: Hey, we’ve got to talk
to him! So we went hunting for
his phone number and called
him at his office in Florida, but
only got his secretary. I called
EVERY day for many weeks, a
couple of months I think, and I
ended up becoming good friends with the secretary. But then one
day, which I figured would be one of the usual no-luck days, he
suddenly WAS on the line,” Sara grins. Her English is good,
because she and her family lived in England for some time as a
child.
Kroto turned out to be enthusiastic about and impressed by the
idea of using buckyballs commercially in connection with ozone.
He put the girls in touch with other leading scientists in the field.
SCENARIO: Did you tell him that you were 16 and a high school
student?
“We thought that when there’s a lack of ozone in the ozone layer above us,
then it should be possible to bring the ozone down to the ground and create a personal ozone layer on the skin. It was as
simple as that.”
THE BUCKEYBALL – THE WORLD’S MOST BEAUTIFUL MOLECULE The buckyball is a carbon molecule consisting of 60 carbon atoms arranged in a globular grid pattern. Since the ball is fully symmetric and simple in shape, it is often called the world’s most beautiful molecule. It has the formula C60, and its official name is Buckminsterfullerene, since its appearance is similar to the American architect Buckminster Fuller’s geodesic domes. Its similarity to a soccer ball is also often noted. It was a sensation when scientists in 1985 identified the buckyball, because up to then it was thought that graphite and diamond were the only types of carbon to exist. The discovery has created a new branch of chemistry that in the long run may open the opportunity for creating entirely new structures and materials. A buckyball is just 1.03 nanometres in diameter.

Sara: “Um, I can’t quite remember. I guess I did mention what I
did, but I’m not certain that he took much note of it. He was just
enthusiastic and responsive.”
THE HELPER
Encouraged by the conversation with Harold Kroto, the girls
worked on the their project for the next six months leading up to
Science Cup, which was scheduled for April 2009. Among other
things, they spent a lot of time at Aarhus University making
calculations and verifying their idea about using buckyballs as
containers. They also tested Harold Kroto’s method of making
buckyballs synthetically.
“We worked very hard, did
things that nobody else in the
contest did, and found sponsors.
And then we got in contact with
Østjysk Innovation (an organi-
sation that invests in the
commerci al development of
innovat ive high-tech business
ideas; ed.), which showed great
interest,” explained Sara.
“Well, right from our very
first meeting they said they
would like to collaborate to look
closer at our idea and possibly
invest in our project. This is the
first time we realised that there
might be money in our idea. We
went back to school and were
quite out of our minds. To think, a grownup man was sitting
there offering us money! At this point I think our school realised
that we needed help from adults.”
Pia Møller Jensen, the girls’ physics teacher, stepped in, and over
the following years she took on a key role as sparring partner,
advisor and confidante.
“She has been with us on almost all our trips around the world.
She has been much more than a physics teacher to us – an
indispensab le friend who has always looked out for us and
support ed us in all our ups and downs,” Sara tells me.
adVERSITy
A short time before the Science Cup on 14 April 2008, the girls
discovered that “there was something called patents.” They also
discovered that it was too late to apply for a patent if they had
already presented their idea publically in a competition. This
placed their participation under pressure, because their appetite
for developing their idea into a real business had been whetted after
the interest shown by Østjysk Innovation.
“We wondered what we should do. And then we got working!
We quickly realised that it costs a
lot of money to apply for and
write a professional patent, but
we got in touch with the Inspicos
patent bureau in Copenhagen,
and they were willing to help us.
In fact, the bureau chose to
sponsor us, and we finished our
application the evening before
the Science Cup.”
When the time for Science Cup
rolled around, but there was still
no news about the patent they
had applied for.
“We didn’t know what to do,”
Sara says. But just 15 minutes
before the deadline, their phone
rang. The patent application had
been delivered, so they could now participate safely.
The presentation went exceedingly well, their contribution to the
competition seemed super i or to everyone else’s, and most people –
including the other contestants – were sure that the Ozone project
would go through from the regionals to the national finals.
Yet, surprisingly, their project did not get through the Cup
selection process.
“The judges simply didn’t believe that we had written the
“The invention is a ‘platform technology’,
which in practice means that the use of ozone in
buckyballs might not only apply to but also to
a wide range of other products.”
OZONE Ozone is a stratospheric gas (O3) that offers protection against ultraviolet radiation. The industry uses ozone as a powerful oxidiser. Ozone is chemically unstable, and its presence in even minute quantities of foreign substances makes it extremely explosive. It is also highly corrosive.

report and had the idea on our own. The project was far above
the level they expected from high school 2nd-graders, and they
would not consider it, they said. That came as a huge shock to us,
and we cried all the way home. Not because we didn’t win, but
because we had been unfairly treated,” Sara tells me.
SCENARIO: How do you go on after such a disappointment? After
all, at the time you were just 17 and had already spent oceans of time
on your project. Wasn’t it tempting to just give it all up and live like
your peers?
Sara: “No, that wasn’t tempting for very long. We chose to go
on. We reminded ourselves that the goal was our goal – bringing
our idea to fruition, not winning a contest. We also chose not to
get back at the judges in the
media and suchlike. Instead, we
chose to tell the positive story
about our idea and our patent.”
Business
The media loved the ozone girls,
as they were quickly dubbed in
the local press. At the time of
their exams in the summer of
2009, they were also participating
in interviews and talk shows,
even though they really didn’t
have the time – their school-
work also had to be attended to.
“Luckily, we had our faithful
teacher. She let us take a written
physics exam in the morning
from 5 to 9, rather than from 9 to 1 pm with the other students.”
Sara smiles at this unusual alliance between the teacher and her
two students.
This pattern continued in the following years when the concept
and later the company BUCKY’o’ZUN was developed. The girls’
will to reach their goal remained intact, as was their teacher’s
willing ness to help them, and together they visited professors in
Great Britain and New York to develop their ideas still further. In
New York, Yale professor Jim Cross got so enthusiastic about the
idea that he set “a lot of heavy calculations and simulations” rolling
on his own accord, resulting in a so-called proof of principle; a
theoreti cal verification of the idea, which took the ozone girls a
new, big step further. They were now able to enter the commercial
phase, with the aim of developing a real product. At the same
time, their high school diplomas needed to be landed.
Among other things, the commercial phase took the girls on a
trip around Europe to meet several of the world’s biggest chemical
corporations. As part of their patent application, they were forced
to consider in what other fields their idea of encapsulating ozone
in buckyballs might be used, and the business idea was extended
from just sunscreen to a lot of other fields.
As Sara expressed it, the invention is a ‘platform technology’,
which in practice means that the
use of ozone in buckyballs might
not only apply to skin lotions,
but also to a wide range of other
products. For instance, it is of
interest to manufacturers of
auto motive paints, wood
preserva tives, and any other
companies whose products are
exposed to UV rays. It is also
possible that it might be used in
coatings for satellites.
Breakthrough
The girls finished high school
and got accepted for medical
school, but they immediately
delayed beginning their actual
studies, and in 2011 they made their first real commercial break-
through. For one thing, they received support from a Danish
bank’s entrepreneurial fund, and for another, their start-up
compan y BUCKY’o’ZUN received an investment of € 240,000
from Seed Capital – a venture fund investing in high-tech start-
ups. This meant that Seed Capital now owned a percentage of the
company as a minority stockholder, but also that the company has
been officially evaluated for the first time. As another feather in
their caps, the two girls also won Venture Cup’s idea competition
in the category Life Science & Medtech at roughly the same time.
HAROLD KROTO Professor Harold Kroto (1939) is a British chemist. In 1996, he and Robert Curl and Richard Smalley received the Nobel Prize in chemistry for discovering the buckyball. The three scientists discovered it in their hunt for something else – the cause of a particular type of radiation from space that science couldn’t offer any immediate explanation for. It was not least through contacts to leading professors, achieved through conversations with Harold Kroto, that Sara Naseri and Emilie Kjeldsen were able go on working with their idea of putting ozone into buckyballs. Today, Harold Kroto is professor of chemistry at Florida State University.
“Kroto turned out to be enthusiastic about and impressed by the idea of
using buckyballs commercially in connection with ozone. He put the girls in touch
with other leading scientists in the field.”

Venture Cup is a national competition for ideas and research with
business potential, organised by Danish universities.
“This victory meant that we finally got over the loss of confiden ce
that the lack of recognition from Science Cup gave us. This was a
competition for university students, something we still hadn’t really
got as far as. The investment meant that we could begin getting
paid for our work and that we could go to Japan to start a test
production,” Sara tells me.
The collaboration with the Japanese scientists took time taking
form – the negotiations took eight months. In the meantime, Sara
and Emilie armed themselves on the business front by establishing
an advisory board. They also won the Intel Global Challenge, an
innovation contest held by UC
Berkeley, and at the time of
writing they have successfully
ended the first phase of
develop ing their production
method, working with the
Japan ese scientists. Sara is
current ly in the US to talk to
more chemical corporations,
and the two entrepreneurs are
simultaneously negotiating with
Japan about phase two in devel-
oping the production method.
Future
During our conversations, Sara
mentions that she and Emilie
were already offered “a double-digit million sum” for their
inven tion, at the beginning of the commercial phase.
“Among the chemical corporations we spoke with, one was
very interested, and it was a big decision to say no to them. Both
of us dreamed about beginning medical school, and it was tempt-
ing to return to a more normal life. Howeeeever…” Sara grins
and lets me understand that it was more important to follow
through with the project and see the idea made real than to be
bought out and lose their influence.
“Something else is that this could become a billion-dollar business,
because our product can be used in many big markets as different
as cosmetics, textiles, wood and plastics. On the other hand, it might
turn out to be worth nothing if we can’t overcome all the technical
complications. We are taking a chance and waiting. In any case, we
have decided that this project isn’t about money. If it is about
money, we may end as losers if we fail to commercialise the idea.
We have therefore decided that it is about experiencing and
learning something. In this way we are winners, no matter the out-
come. This is what I get up for every morning,” Sara makes it clear.
SCENARIO: But you of course do everything you can to make your
business succeed. What barriers lie ahead?
Sara: “Oh, there are a lot. One of the technical barriers is finding
a scalable way to close the buckyball, in a way that we can use
industri ally and on a large scale.
It’s not just a small chemistry
experi ment, but something that
requires a lot of work. This is
what we’re working on with the
Japanese. And then there’s the
business side of things. Can we
find a commercial partner that
is strong enough and can shoulder
the task of production? That
will also be crucial.”
SCENARIO: Who might such a
partner be?
Sara: ”It could be something
like a chemical corporation, but it
could also be a large venture
capital partner. The big challenge
is to find a partner with the technical capacity.”
SCENARIO: And when do you expect that these barriers will be passed?
Sara: ”I hope that we find our partner here in 2012, but it could
take a year. Once we have found our chosen partner, our time-
frame is six months when it comes to the production method.
Then we should have a final product at hand.”
FINaL PROdUcT
At first, the final product will be a kind of powder that can be
used in industry, for things like mixing into car coatings, paints
and wood preservatives, Sara tells me.
“During our conversations, Sara mentions that she
and Emilie were already offered ‘a double-digit
million sum’ for their invention, at the beginning of the
commercial phase.”
ADMITTED TO SINGULARITY UNIVERSITYShortly before this issue ws finalised, Sara Naseri was told that she had been admitted to the prestigious Singularity University in Silicon Valley, for the summer of 2012. This university, which offers shorter courses as a supplement to education at other universities, has a stated aim to “assemble, educate and inspire a cadre of leaders who strive to understand and facilitate the development of exponentially advancing technologies and apply, focus and guide these tools to address humanity’s grand challenges.” However, Sara Naseri’s long-term plan is to continue studying medicine.

SCENARIO: Along the way you have changed your focus and you are
now initially aiming your product at industry. When can you achieve
your original dream about a personal ozone layer for the benefit of
mankind?
Sara: “It is still our dream to make ozone layers on the skin, but
there simply are more factors to take into account when making
products for the skin and body, compared to things like paint for
cars. There are more technical de-
tails and possible side effects to
test. We have set aside two years
just for the toxicological and
clini cal tests. We hope to have a
product on the market by 2014 or
2015.”
SCENARIO: And what about
your personal dreams about studying
medicine?
”We hope to begin September
this year at the University of
Copen hagen. But I can’t promise
that we won’t postpone it again,
ha, ha. We have done that a few
times.”
SCENARIO: After all this, if you
were to pass a piece of good advice on to other entrepreneurs, what
would it be?
“I would say to all young people dreaming about changing the
world that they shouldn’t think that they need to be fully-fledged
chemists or physicists to do so. Don’t wait until you’re clever
enough! It is a strength that as a young person you aren’t limited
by your own lack of knowledge. When you only know a little
about a field, you’re normally better at thinking out of the box
because you don’t immediately become aware of the barriers.
Whereas the professors see all the hindrances. They say right
away that ‘This can’t be done’. We say: ‘Can’t it?’ And then we
try. Just jump right into it.”
SCENARIO: And finally: Where does your own powerful drive and
focus come from?
“I guess I have a competitive gene. For several years, I was an
active competition swimmer and swam 6–7 days a week. But it is
also a matter of my upbringing. My parents have always urged
me to do my very best, but at the same time I have been given a lot
of freedom to try all the things I wanted; even several things at
once. So I have tried everything from rock climbing over skating,
dancing, handball, tennis, soccer and hockey to playing violin,
recorder, drums, and guitar and singing. This means that I have
been able to express myself within everything I have found
interesting. The energy to do
things comes from enjoying it,
and to me, that has never been a
problem. I commit myself, and
then it becomes fun.”
My couple of hours of conver-
sation with Sara Naseri are over.
I didn’t get to ask all that many
questions, because Sara doesn’t
need that sort of thing to provide
answers. She talks a lot, and at
length. With certainty and
passi on. In a clear Danish regional
accent, with added American
phrases and expressions when
her vocabulary runs out of
chemi cal and business terms. She
is a person with a lot of energy and a many-faceted talent who
early on saw where to make an effort once the opportunity showed
itself. She is also the product of two immigrants from Iran who
had a daughter, but this angle is superfluous here – just like the
story about ‘the female entrepreneur’ or the model student who
graduated high school with top grades (“I was a real nerd who
loved going to school”).
No, the story is about persistence and talent, and that sort of
thing is universal. Even if the protagonist in this particular story
is Sara Naseri.
The local media in Denmark called her the ozone girl. In the
meantime, she has become a grown woman with experiences
from a life as an entrepreneur; now passed on.
The next chapter in the story will be written in the years to
come. My guess is that no-one will miss out on it. We will get to
hear more about this. ¢
