Rådet for Grøn Omstilling

Rådet for Grøn Omstilling er en uafhængig miljøorganisation, der arbejder for at fremme en grøn og bæredygtig omstilling af samfundet. Det gør vi ved at skabe og formidle viden om grønne løsninger og ved at påvirke politikere, virksomheder og borgere til at træffe grønne valg. Vi har været på den grønne bane i mere end 30 år og har bidraget med viden, løsningsforslag og folkelig oplysning og debat, der tilsammen har været med til at trække samfundet i en grønnere og mere bæredygtig retning. Og vi bliver ved, fordi vi drives af troen på et bedre og grønnere samfund uden forurening og uoverskuelige klimaforandringer.

EV-Remarketing

At EV-Remarketing we’ve built a digital platform that transforms how used electric vehicles are bought and sold across Europe. We take the complexity out of selling an EV - from offer to payment to pickup - and replace it with speed, transparency and fairness. Last year we completed over 5,000 vehicle transactions with a 98% success rate, helping more than 25,000 sellers across Europe. Our tech stack handles everything: automatic data-extraction from documents using AI, integration with national vehicle databases, fraud detection, full digital workflows and logistics orchestration. We focus exclusively on electric vehicles, giving us deep domain expertise - which means we offer better value to sellers and turn-around times that beat traditional routes.

Rock Flour Company

Rock Flour Company is a dynamic, mission-driven startup founded by Professor Minik Rosing, the world-renowned geologist and pioneer of utilizing Greenlandic Rock Flour (GRF) for carbon-negative agronomic applications. Our core mission is ambitious: to bring GRF to market, enabling sustainable agriculture, facilitating carbon removals at scale, and delivering tangible economic benefits to local communities in both Greenland and specific farming regions globally. Today, we’re a dynamic core team of five with a validated potential by top investors across the globe. In September this year, we raised our second financing round featuring major commitments from Danish & Greenlandic institutional investors like Novo Holdings, EIFO (Danish state venture fund), SISA, and Nalik Ventures.

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.
