North ESG

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.

True Energy A/S

Many people are talking about the smart grid and how we can reach 100% sustainable energy, and avoid global warming getting out of hand, by intelligently balancing the consumption so it fits with the electricity production. At True Energy we're already doing it! True Energy offers a smart charging app to our end users so they can register their car or charger and have it start or stop charging based on the hour of day and the electricity price, so the user optimizes their charging to be cheapest. The service is free of charge for the end user because they participate in our flexibility pool where the power companies can buy offsetting of the consumption if the grid is overloaded or production is expensive. We use Google Workspace, GitLab as code repo, Jira for our agile project management, and Slack for chat. We have a policy of 100% line coverage for unit tests, and want to support continuous delivery. We focus on collaboration and an open, inclusive work environment. Our team is multinational, and the working language is English, so full proficiency is required.. We have team members in several time zones.

Worthmore

A note from the Founder not generated by AI :D Have you ever thought about how amazing it is that we can instantly communicate with anyone around the world at anytime wirelessly? Personally, I have been intrigued by the devices and the invisible fields that connect us all since I was much younger. From the smartphone to the services that power it - and while they are great for everything they do, I felt the business model of selling phones and SIM cards hasn't really changed since the industry first began - more importantly to me it lacked heart and consideration for people and the planet. So about 2 years ago, I started working on Worthmore. Today, we're a small team on a mission to disrupt telecom for the good of people and the planet and redefine what a mobile phone subscription can be. We market Worthmore more as a membership to a community focused on making the world a better place first - not just a mobile phone subscription. Our goal is to transform your choice of telecom provider into a meaningful decision to become part of something bigger. In fact, we tell our members that they get the SIM card for free just for being a part of what we do. As a member, you enjoy the same great telecom services & prices (in most cases better or cheaper) - plus added perks of saving money at impactful brands and services. On top of this, for each member of our community, Worthmore pledges 15kr/mo to the "Worthmore Impact Fund," which supports people and tangible projects working towards a future we can all be proud of. See our first video here https://youtu.be/Vo9SuuD07jw?si=tYlO_Z0YUo0vOuFy The mission is to prove that in a dinosaur industry like telecom - doing good is good business. That by supporting causes instead of wasting money on ads, we can build a movement and a community that is connected by more than just the SIM cards in their devices. They are connected with a common goal of working towards a future we can all be proud of. We are still in the very early stages, and since I don't come from money, and I didn't start this with a small loan of a million dollars from my dad, it has been a struggle to even get this far...but we now have our first working SIM cards - we have our website - we have the basic skills, and most importantly, we have the motivation to keep pushing things forward. Every time I see that it says Worthmore in the top corner of my phone instead of Telia, Lebara, or whoever, I'm reminded that we have succeeded in building a way to help people #ConnectWithPurpose. So - As a founder with an extremely limited budget and nothing but an overwhelming sense of optimism and a passion for what he's building - I write this letter to reach out to those who also want to be part of our mission - we could use the help. I look forward to connecting with some of you soon for an interview, and if you've read this far, you're probably the type of person we're looking for :D Tegan Spinner CEO & Founder @Worthmore

Tepui Agentic Labs

Tepui Agentic Labs is Europe’s first AI-native agentic data platform , built in Denmark from the ground up on EU-sovereign infrastructure for mid-market businesses trapped on legacy systems. Most mid-market companies across Europe are sitting on years of valuable business data locked inside outdated databases, spreadsheets, and disconnected systems. They have no data team to fix it, and enterprise solutions are priced for companies ten times their size. The result: critical business decisions made on gut feel, manual reports that take days to assemble, and institutional knowledge trapped in files nobody dares to touch. Tepui solves this with three product lines. Datarcon modernises legacy data, extracting, cleaning, and transforming it into a modern analytics layer the business actually owns. Our Sovereign SaaS platform lets companies run AI-powered tools on EU infrastructure with no data leaving European soil ,fully compliant, fully controlled. And Tonin, our autonomous 24/7 AI agent, monitors the business continuously, triggers alerts, generates reports, and answers operational questions in plain language. Tonin is not a chatbot , it is an always-on intelligence layer that works while the team sleeps. A standout feature of our AI agents is the Consciousness Core , an integrated ethics layer ensuring responsible AI behaviour and compliance with the EU AI Act from inception. Every agent decision is traceable, auditable, and explainable by design. The platform is built on an enterprise-grade 7-layer security architecture, fully EU-sovereign with no data leaving European soil. We serve multiple industry verticals across Denmark hospitality (restaurant groups, hotels), construction (mid-market contractors), social housing (almene boligorganisationer), investment funds (PE, VC, family offices), food suppliers, automotive (parts distributors, dealer groups), and law firms with additional verticals in development. Every vertical has the same problem: years of data locked in systems that never talk to each other. Same core product, different industry configuration. We are pre-seed, incubated at ITU NextGen Incubator 2026, and actively pursuing first pilot clients in Denmark.-sovereign deployment on European infrastructure as standard. Made in Denmark. Built for Europe.
