Her stod jeg for at planlægge og holde styr på deres sociale medier, skrive blogpost og lave SEO. Udover det, fik jeg også sat et samarbejde med Rista sat på benene. Handyhand gav mig mulighed for at benytte den viden, jeg havde tilgået via. mit studie men var samtidig en dejlig lærerig oplevelse, hvor jeg fik tilgået en masse ny viden. Handyhand er en inspirerende virksomhed, med en god og afslappet atmosfære, og søde mennesker. Krisztian Szabo - Developer "Working as an intern at Handyhand has been a positive experience for me. As is the case with many start-ups, this collaboration implied a great deal of independence and the ability to decide for myself how to best reach my goals. I was tasked with building Handyhand's mobile app from scratch, that is supposed to replicate the functionalities offered by the web platform. After some initial planning where we decided on the technology stack that will be used, I was free to devise the product's architecture and implementation. During the internship period I worked in a focused manner, such that by the end of it, about 80% of the app's functionality had been developed. This degree of freedom and responsibility might not be suitable for everybody, but for anyone that feels up to the challenge, I highly recommend this experience." Mihail-Sebastian Rotar - Developer "My internship at Handyhand was more than beneficial for me. My initial expectations were consisting of learning how to develop mobile applications from scratch. At Handyhand I not only had the chance to learn about that, but I have also been considered valuable to take part in the meetings the company had in terms of growth and fundings which they are aiming for. I consider this was ideal for me as I am planning to build my own mobile business in the next years."

CM Navigator A/S – part of Copenhagen Merchants Group - is the company behind the digital platform for market intelligence and decision support in the agri-commodity and freight sectors – CM Navigator. Founded by Copenhagen Merchants Group, CM Navigator was initially developed in-house (starting around 2018) to aggregate the wealth of tacit market knowledge held by the group’s brokers and shipping experts. It was subsequently launched as a commercial SaaS platform in 2022 and later incorporated as an independent company in 2023 (while remaining majority-owned by CM Group). What it offers: CM Navigator provides real-time data and analytics tools to track commodity markets and logistics: • Live Prices & Global Benchmarks: Users get daily updated prices from major export regions (North America, South America, Europe, Black Sea, Australia, etc.) and a global CFR price matrix covering 600+ destinations, allowing easy comparison of origin competitiveness. This helps traders see, for example, how US corn fob prices plus freight compare to Brazilian corn into a given import market. • Freight Forecasting: The platform includes advanced freight tools that let users search among 250,000+ bulk freight routes with up to 12-month forward curves. This essentially functions as an instant freight rate calculator: a trader can input a specific load port and discharge port (or even a combination for multi-leg trades) and get current freight cost estimates and future rates. Such capability, drawn from Navi Merchants’ data, simplifies evaluating the delivered cost of commodities. • Supply/Demand & Trade Flows: CM Navigator continuously updates global supply and demand balances for key crops, and tracks trade flows. It integrates official data with on-the-ground insights (e.g., port line-up information) to give an up-to-date picture of export/import volumes and stock levels. This dynamic data can alert users to changes (such as a sudden surge in Ukrainian wheat exports or a drought cutting Argentine soy supply) much faster than traditional reports. • News & Insights: The platform delivers relevant news flashes and in-house analysis. For instance, it might highlight policy changes, weather events, or logistical issues affecting markets, along with commentary from CM’s analysts. Users also receive reports like grain export summaries or freight market outlooks, helping them stay ahead in volatile markets. Strategic purpose: The creation of CM Navigator reflects the group’s goal to “empower traders of all sizes in all countries” by democratizing access to high-quality market data. It takes the tacit knowledge that Copenhagen Merchants accumulated (through decades of brokerage and logistics operations) and scales it via technology. Internally, the platform ensures CM’s own teams and key clients operate with the same up-to-date information. Externally, it has become a new revenue stream and value proposition, attracting subscribers from the wider industry. By providing transparency and decision-support, CM Navigator strengthens Copenhagen Merchants Group’s role as an information broker. Its strategic goal is to be the go-to platform for anyone looking for integrated data on grains and freight, thereby enhancing market efficiency and extending the group’s influence in the digital domain.

We're creating a digital study abroad start-up that aims to increase mobility by boosting the encouragement among students within higher education to study abroad. Another motivation for the project was the Danish government's goal of sending 50% of students within higher education abroad to incorporate an international dimension into their danish study program. Given the tools provided by the Government, we aim to educate, consult and help students go take a semester abroad to develop their personal profile. Today's way is old fashioned - paperwork, stamps, mails ( the slow kind 🐌) and loads of Visa's and questions. Our platform gives the student the step by step process needed to get any bigger task done. Once signed up, we make sure that you have all the credit eligible courses you need from our online course catalogue, a signed learning agreement, an insurance and an acceptance letter. All in less than a week and without leaving your keyboard. We started a digital study abroad agency based on our own experiences studying abroad. Having been at a guest university gave us a big boost in our competencies, which we would encourage anyone to do! This is why we developed uniclub, the best way to study abroad.
