GLYON

GLYON is developing a CO₂-powered textile-to-textile recycling technology to help brands, fiber producers, and recyclers solve the growing textile waste crisis with a breakthrough chemical recycling process that turns waste into virgin-quality raw materials for new fibers—without fossil fuels. We address the massive problem of textile waste, a global crisis where over 92 million tonnes of textile waste are discarded each year—most of it ending up in landfills or incinerated. This contributes to major pollution issues but also forces the textile industry to continue its dependence on virgin fossil-based materials. Our solution targets fiber producers, brands, and recyclers who need circular raw material solutions. Our CO₂-based chemical recycling process breaks down polyester textiles into building blocks and leaves other fibers like cotton intact. Both PET building blocks and cotton can be used to produce new, high-quality fibers without the need for virgin oil and reducing water consumption and CO₂ emissions.

Behold

Behold helps animals change people. Our technology turns everyday wildlife encounters into moments of discovery. It meets people where they are, whether at home, on their devices, or in their communities. It shifts how they see nature and their role in it. It is entertainment with a purpose, designed to inspire and influence behaviour in subtle but meaningful ways. But we are not just here to tell stories. We are building a network of thousands of garden cameras, creating the largest database of residential wildlife sightings. A powerful tool for conservation, citizen science, and understanding the changing natural world. Our first product, Behold Cam-1, became a massive success on Kickstarter – hitting its funding goal in under 2 hours, and raising almost $400k in pre-orders. We're now bringing that product to market. It’s an opportunity to join at the earliest stages—with all the challenges and rewards that come with it.

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: 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.

Plastic Change

Plastic Change en dansk miljøorganisation med et ambitiøst internationalt sigte Vi arbejder hårdt med at knække den stigende kurve over plastikspild. Plastik er overalt – på land og til vands. Tre generationers forbrug af plastik har sat sine spor. Kun en lille del bliver genbrugt eller destrueret. Resten ligger i naturen i hundredvis af år. Vi arbejder for at reducere vores enorme plastikproduktion ved blandt andet at eliminere unødvendig engangsplastik fra vores produkter, ved at sætte bedre rammer for hvordan vi designer produkter til mere genbrug, og det plastik vi ikke kan genbruge, skal vi kunne genanvende. Vi arbejder både på politisk niveau, sammen med befolkningen, i samarbejde med innovationspartnere, på internationalt niveau, sammen med forskere og med at uddanne vores fremtidige generationer om problemet. Plastic Change består af et fast dedikeret team og en række uundværlige frivillige kræfter. Alle yder en stor, uvurderlig og professionel indsats for, at organisationen kan gennemføre sine ambitioner om at knække kurven for plastikproduktion og hermed plastikforurening.

a:gain

We develop, innovate, produce and deliver scalable waste-based building elements and interior products for the professional built environment. The construction industry account for 40% of all waste generated and is the #1 consumer of raw materials globally. The embedded carbon in building materials account for 11% of global carbon emission. At the same time, global floor area is expected to double by 2060. Sustainable building materials will be key to reducing footprint from the construction industry. We need to change the way we build and focus on materials produced from non-virgin materials. We make it possible to accelerate the necessary change towards a reduced use of virgin raw materials in our buildings by developing new earth and climate friendly products and solutions based on waste, biproducts, unused resources, and discarded production. We make it easy for the ones who design and build to choose a waste-based product, for the benefit of the environment, the user and the investor. Our approach is scalable. We are experts in creating valuable upcycled products from scalable sources of waste. We see opportunities, when others see waste. Our know-how drives innovation and product development and shape the products of tomorrow with the waste of today.

Copenhagen Startup Weekend

We`ve been organising Startup Weekends in Copenhagen for 4 years, educating and inspiring hundreds of people to become entrepreneurs. We were lucky to see it from the first row how #CPHSW helped people get into the entrepreneur mindset and to try new challenges. We always believed that one of strongest forces were the network of people you created during those crazy weekends. This is why we created Startup Weekend Mega: The biggest Startup Weekend ever organised in Europe.  We´re an awesome group of volunteers coming from a wide variety of backgrounds. All of us have their own stories about how we ended up joining the #CPHSW family.  We are proud that we`re 100% voluntarily run organisation and that we created a culture where everybody feels safe to experiment and make their own decisions. And we`re always there to support each other outside Startup Weekends.  We think being part of the organiser family is an excellent opportunity to try out craziest ideas in your field. A playground where we can have a lot of fun and learn a ton. After years of experimentation now we`re organising our biggest event, Startup Weekend Mega, and we would like to involve new people on this journey. If this makes you excited then please feel free to reach out copenhagen@startupweekend.org  or directly at the job posts. Fun guaranteed!;)
