At North ESG, we’re building the AI-powered ESG accounting software for SMEs. 99% of all companies in Europe are small and medium-sized enterprises. They drive our economy - but when it comes to sustainability, they are underserved. ESG reporting is complex, time-consuming, and an administrative hassle. We believe the future of ESG should be about growth - not admin. Our mission is to free up time and strengthen the ESG profile of SMEs as a commercial advantage, so they can stay competitive, win more business, and meet rising demands from customers, regulators, and investors. Our platform automates the entire ESG reporting process using AI - from data collection to emissions calculations and EU-aligned reporting. It integrates with ERP systems and leverages both public and private data sources to generate tailored, commercially viable ESG reports. We’ve already gained strong market traction across industries in Denmark. And with ESG requirements increasingly cascading down from large corporates and financial institutions, we’re solving a growing pain for millions of SMEs across Europe.

Enabling the bioindustrial revolution with the fastest enzymes. Many of the hardest climate and environmental problems can be solved through synthetic biology. But biosolutions are held back by the enzyme efficiency bottleneck. The ENZIDIA Enzyme Engineering Platform will address this with 10^4 to 10^7 times higher efficiency than current technologies.

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: MonoFrame™: A supercar-inspired unibody design that removes the traditional hollow internal frame. This creates a stronger racket with a larger, more forgiving sweet spot. OmniCore™: High-grade foam from edge to edge. This eliminates dead zones, maximizes energy return, and significantly reduces vibration to lower the risk of injury. FutureFiber™: 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.

ARIS Robotics was founded by a shared vision: to steer the world towards a greener future. One of the critical challenges in the green transition is how we manage our resources and waste. Today’s processes are highly linear: raw materials are extracted, processed into products, used a few times, and then discarded—either incinerated or buried in landfills. We aim to change that. At ARIS, our ultimate goal is to create a world without waste. This means transforming linear processes into circular ones. The first step towards effective recycling is good sorting. We develop scalable and automated solutions using deep learning to recognize and sort waste efficiently. Currently, we are serving our beachhead market—public recycling centers. Here, we assist visitors in correctly sorting their waste, extending the lifespan of materials and reducing the need to extract more raw materials from our limited planet. We are always on the lookout for passionate individuals to join our mission. Keep an eye on our open positions, follow us on LinkedIn, or feel free to send us a motivated application. Let’s create a greener future together!

We are changing the world! Copenhagen Atomics is building the next generation nuclear reactors for the world based on molten salt technology.

Our planet is overheating, biodiversity is reducing rapidly, and natural resources are being depleted. With 40% of global energy-related CO2 emissions and 30% of global landfill waste, construction plays a significant role in our planetary crisis and is by far the most polluting sector. We need to do things differently. Stykka takes you on a journey toward a future where the construction industry is part of the solution rather than the problem. We’ve set out to develop scalable solutions that enable like-minded developers and investors to build more sustainable, efficient and profitable. With Stykka we enable forward-thinking developers to build sustainably and be part of the solution rather than the problem. We use cutting edge technology like 3D scanning, digital fabrication, and distributed manufacturing to create new experiences and amazing, sustainable products for an array of clients.   With Stykka we aim to leave a positive impact on our planet and solve one of the biggest problems of our time, and we want you to be part of this journey.

KhaosGuard is making greenhouse gas emissions visible. KhaosGuard is developing a new generation of laser and optical technology that can measure, map and quantify greenhouse gas emissions across large areas in real time. By combining advanced mid-infrared laser spectroscopy, optical sensor networks and wind-field data, we can turn complex emission plumes into accurate, quantitative measurements of where emissions come from and how much is being released. Our technology brings together advanced spectroscopy and atmospheric modelling in a robust field system — creating a level of spatial and real-time emissions intelligence that has not previously been available. Starting with wastewater treatment Our first focus is wastewater treatment plants, where we are helping operators detect, localise and quantify nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions — commonly known as laughing gas and a highly potent greenhouse gas. By making these emissions visible, we give wastewater operators the intelligence they need to understand what is happening across their plants, identify emission hotspots and optimise their processes for greater efficiency and lower emissions. Ultimately, our goal is simple: you cannot optimise what you cannot measure.

ESEBA, a deep tech startup from DTU, transforms low-quality textile waste into MDF boards without binders or formaldehyde. We offer a sustainable, non-toxic alternative to traditional wood-based panels. Textile waste is a massive and growing problem in Europe – less than 1% is recycled into new products, and most ends up incinerated. At the same time, formaldehyde regulations are tightening, and deforestation pressures are increasing demand for alternatives to virgin wood. ESEBA’s mission is to enable local, circular board production through a scalable, plug-and-produce production line for furniture manufacturers.

Real-Time LCA is a powerful platform that enables companies to understand, reduce, and document the climate impact of their building projects during design and construction. 🏘️ By automating LCA calculations, it reduces the effort required for impact assessments by 50-90%. Users can perform collaborative, efficient, and accurate Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) that comply with international standards, certification schemes, and regulations. The platform streamlines LCA processes from BIM to reporting, allowing all stakeholders to visualize, track, and document carbon emissions to meet regulations, reported through our standard templates, or leverage your sustainability data in other applications through our API. 🙌
