Hybird

Hybird is an AI-first energy technology company transforming the way businesses manage and use electricity. Born out of frustration with outdated monitoring systems, Hybird combines proprietary circuit breaker innovation with intelligent software, into the Hybird Operating System (OS). This OS tracks electricity usage at the source level, and makes it possible to cut waste, lower costs, and reduce CO₂ emissions. By pairing real-time hardware insights with advanced pattern detection and consumption optimisation, Hybird delivers typical savings of 20–30%. In short, Hybird turns everyday switchboards into connected, data-driven systems that give businesses smarter control over their energy footprint.

Photoncycle

Solar panels produce plenty of power in summer and very little in winter, when we need it most. Photoncycle solves that problem: we store this energy next to house, so the household can use it for electricity and heating all winter. Surplus power is sold on the electricity market, where it helps balance supply and demand. The household pays a fixed monthly fee, and we build, install and operate the system. Our mission is to accelerate the transition to a more renewable, balanced, and secure energy system. Photoncycle systems combine solar energy, long-duration storage, and energy trading, so households can use homegrown energy year-round for electricity, heat, and hot water, while also helping the grid balance production and consumption peaks. This enables the transition away from fossil-based energy for households. We are 25 employees with offices in Oslo and Copenhagen. In 2026 we raised a €15 million Series A led by NordicNinja and Voima Ventures. We are now moving from full-scale pilot to commercial rollout, and the first phase of our production plant is underway.

Emballage Indberetning

Emballage Indberetning er en kollektiv ordning, der håndterer producentansvaret for danske virksomheder. Med mere end 3.800 medlemmer er vi Danmarks største kollektive ordning, og vi er de eneste i landet, der dækker alle 8 produktområder. De fleste kollektive ordninger dækker kun ét eller to områder, så en virksomhed med flere produkttyper må være medlem tre forskellige steder, med tre kontrakter, tre sæt satser og tre indberetningsrytmer at holde styr på. Hos os er det ét medlemskab, der dækker hele producentansvaret, og vi bygger vores egen software for at understøtte vores medlemmer bedst muligt. Producentansvar er et miljøprincip: virksomheder får det juridiske og økonomiske ansvar for deres produkters miljøpåvirkning, især når produkterne bliver til affald. Det skubber til mere bæredygtigt design, mere genanvendelse og mindre affald. Godt for planeten, men svært for virksomhederne. De fleste har aldrig hørt om producentansvar, før de pludselig er omfattet, og så møder de et regelsæt skrevet af jurister til jurister. Hvert produktområde (emballage, elektronik, batterier, engangsplast og flere) har sine egne satser, sine egne materialefraktioner og sin egen indberetningsrytme. Det rammer tusindvis af danske virksomheder, og hvert år bliver flere omfattet. Bag hvert fysisk produkt, der bliver indberettet, gemmer der sig mange bevægelige dele. Der skal faktureres, laves stikprøver og indsamles data hver gang en affaldsspand bliver tømt: hvor meget kan genanvendes, og hvad skal brændes? En af vores største opgaver som kollektiv ordning er at indsamle og måle den data og indberette den videre til myndighederne. Derfor bygger vi vores egen software. Ikke for at sælge den, men fordi vores forpligtelser kan automatiseres, når de bliver til kode. Vi startede i januar 2025, fordi producentansvar giver god mening for miljøet, men er indrettet dårligt for de virksomheder, det rammer. Miljøet vinder kun, hvis virksomhederne rent faktisk kan finde ud af at leve op til reglerne. Vores mission er at gøre producentansvar så enkelt og tilgængeligt, at en virksomhed kan overholde det uden at forstå hvert komma i lovgivningen og komme tilbage til sin forretning. På 14 måneder er vi gået fra 2 til 15 medarbejdere.

Refine

Freight forwarders are being asked for greener transport, but most still do not have a simple way to sell it. Refine plugs into the forwarder’s operation and turns shipment data into a ready-to-sell low carbon offer. We bring pricing, sourcing, customer acceptance and documentation into one end to end workflow. The idea is simple: help freight forwarders build a new business line, earn more on every customer relationship and become the green partner their customers actually want to work with.

FIBERNEX

FIBERNEX develops next-generation porous materials combining engineered nanofiber substrates with thin, uniform metallic coatings - delivering significantly higher active surface area than conventional alternatives. Applied to green hydrogen: a patent- protected 3D nanofiber mat coated with a thin nickel layer via low-cost electroless plating replaces bulky nickel-foam electrodes, cutting nickel use by up to 97%, boosting efficiency by up to 10%, and lowering production cost by up to 75%.

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.
