LIMA Dynamics

In classical drug discovery, researchers sift through a large database of known compounds, until they find one that has a desired effect on a target virus/protein. A new technique, Inverse Molecular Design flips the script: Researchers specify a desired behaviour/effect, and Generative AI builds the drug molecules. Generative models for drug design navigate a configurational space vastly larger than their counterparts in image generation, necessitating massive volumes of highly specific training data. LIMA is the first MD software build for generative AI. Unlike other MD engines, it plugs directly into existing technologies used to train AI models (PyTorch), making it possible to directly simulate drug discovery experiments. LIMA MD will enable companies to generate compounds not possible in a wet lab and put this information directly into Generative AI models. Why are we doing this? To help pave the way for a new generation of drugs, with fewer and well known sideeffects.

Perma Padel ApS

Perma Padel is on a mission to become a leading global racket sports brand and equipment manufacturer, defined by an unwavering commitment to premium performance, sustainability, and innovation. Perma Padel is the first to apply a novel industrial manufacturing process for padel rackets using 100% recyclable thermoplastic carbon fiber, unlocking a new era of performance, sustainability, and scalability. By moving from manual labor to precision automation, we slash manufacturing time significantly, while delivering a product that is twice as durable as the competition. Our Core Innovations Include: MonoFrameโ„ข: A supercar-inspired unibody design that removes the traditional hollow internal frame. This creates a stronger racket with a larger, more forgiving sweet spot. OmniCoreโ„ข: High-grade foam from edge to edge. This eliminates dead zones, maximizes energy return, and significantly reduces vibration to lower the risk of injury. FutureFiberโ„ข: Our proprietary thermoplastic carbon fiber allows for a fully circular model. Unlike toxic epoxy-based rackets, our materials are 100% recyclable and enable zero-waste manufacturing. We have already secured a launch partnership with Denmark's biggest retailer and have an organic waitlist of over 700 players. We are currently finalizing product development for a Summer 2026 launch.

Spritju

As the world pushes to limit global warming, energy remains one of the hardest industries to trace, even though it accounts for 73% of global carbon emissions.

At Spritju, we're changing that. Our B2B marketplace for energy certificates empowers companies to cut costs by 20% and track their energy use with precision, offering certificates with 8,760 times the granularity.

Paint'R

In the European Union alone, more than 1.5 million paint buckets are discarded daily, constituting a disposal of 340 tons of single-use plastic that is incinerated each day. Starting from early 2023 (2025 in Denmark and Slovenia), manufacturers are obligated to cover the disposal costs of their packaging based on sustainability criteria. In Denmark, this translates to an estimated 15% fee on paint buckets. Furthermore, the conventional round shape of packaging has proven suboptimal for logistics and transportation. Beyond its environmental impact, the traditional paint bucket poses challenges for professional painters. These challenges encompass ergonomic issues during handling, such as the strain of lifting two buckets simultaneously, which exceeds recommended weight limits according to the Working Environment Authority. Painters also find themselves in awkward positions when pouring paint into a roller bucket for wall application. The demanding physical nature of the painting profession in Denmark results in accelerated fatigue and early retirement for painters. Additionally, issues like lid leakage due to dried paint and the use of fragile, porous plastic contribute to unexpected spills, particularly during abrupt vehicle stops. Our innovative solution involves a cardboard box housing two patent-pending plastic bags, each containing 5 liters of paint. This packaging not only enhances the workflow for professional painters but also reduces costs and lowers carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions by approximately 65% per unit. The box's design facilitates easy and ergonomic transportation, allowing for a 45% increase in units per pallet. The box is opened, and one of the bags is inserted into a standard roller bucket used by painters. The bag effortlessly opens and seamlessly fits into the roller bucket, wrapping around the edges, and enabling the painter to begin work promptly. This functionality is made possible through an innovative patented design and specific plastic welding techniques.

Kople

We are here to help those who help others! Kople is a social impact CRM made for NGOs working with matching of vulnerable groups.. We are working with some of the largest actors in the field in Denmark and also has clients in Sweden, Germany and The Netherlands. Cases fx include matching of volunteers and: - Elderly people needing company - Immigrants and refugees looking to settle into a new country - Chronically ill people - Children from disadvantages backgrounds - People recently released from jail - Young mothers from disadvantaged backgrounds Kople is a spin-out from the company Elderlearn that matches immigrants learning Danish with elderly people at risk of loneliness. From its start in 2017 Elderlearn struggled to find a relevant IT-system for the administration of these matches and ended up developing an IT-system in-house. This worked well but was expensive to maintain. NGOs started asking if they could buy access to Elderlearns system. This inspired us to get funding from The Danish Innovation Fund (5 million DKK in 2021) to build a Software as a Service tool for NGOs working with matching. This is how Kople was born โ€“ taking the learnings from Elderlearn and all its other clients to create a SaaS product for NGOs working with matching.
