Empirical is a flavor company, founded in 2017 and located on Refshaleøen in Copenhagen. Our approach is inspired by the Empirical method and the belief that knowledge is gained from experiences, our senses, and a desire to explore the world around us. Focusing on flavor, our company uses low-temperature distillation, fermentation, and unique, high-quality ingredients sourced carefully from all over the world. The result is culinary innovations in the world of spirits, beverages and food products. We pay respect to tradition, but want to explore without prejudice, reinventing and mixing things up instead of letting traditional boxes define how we do things. Our team reflects this: it is made up of waiters, chefs, scientists and professionals who are keen to do things in new ways and to work outside of their comfort zones.

Digital Ops ApS is building an autonomous AI platform that acts as a company's digital grant manager, automating the full lifecycle of public and private grant applications from identifying relevant funding opportunities to preparing and submitting applications, to project management, documentation, and reporting afterward. The problem we're solving is that grant applications today are a heavy, manual, and time-consuming process. This pulls focus away from a company's core business, which is why many businesses either outsource the work to expensive consultants or skip applying altogether, missing out on substantial funding that could support their growth. We're solving this because we believe access to funding shouldn't depend on having the time or budget for consultants; small and medium-sized enterprises deserve the same professional-grade funding management that larger companies can afford. Our platform is already in its first working version and being tested with real companies. Since our founding, we've built strong in-house expertise in software development, AI, and automation, giving us a solid foundation to scale this into a SaaS platform with international potential.

Mybanker er en dansk virksomhed, der arbejder på at bygge bro mellem borger, samfund og banksektoren. Med vores service kan du gratis få tilbud fra flere banker i én ansøgning og vi har gjort det hurtigt og nemt at foretage bankskiftet, når vi har fundet det rigtige match til dig. I 20 år har vi oversat snørklede bankbegreber til let forståeligt sprog. Det fortsætter vi med. Vi vil nemlig gerne gøre danskerne endnu bedre til at forstå deres økonomi, så de kan investere deres penge rigtigt, få råd til den rigtige bolig, og tage styringen over deres finanser. Mybanker er en gratis service for brugerne. Vi bliver betalt af bankerne, hvis vi henviser en ny kunde. Alle banker betaler den samme pris, så Mybanker har ingen interesser i at anbefale én bank over en anden. Vi fremlægger blot mulighederne for dig som bruger og kun hvis vi finder en god løsning som du vælger, tjener vi penge. Det kalder vi en win-win. I 2022 fik Mybanker nye ejere. Mybanker blev købt af den norske mediekoncern Schibsted, som også ejer Lendo, DBA og Bilbasen. Herefter startede et samarbejde mellem Mybanker og Lendo om at give danskerne de bedste muligheder for at finde det bedste lån og bank, der matcher deres behov og ønsker. Mybanker er derved en del af Lendo Group og sammen arbejder begge virksomheder tæt sammen for at give alle deres kunder det bedste grundlag for at tage den bedste beslutning, når det kommer til boligfinansiering, lån, bankskifte, osv. I Mybanker har vi tilsammen hundredvis af års erfaring med finansbranchen. Derfor ser vi det som vores pligt at råbe vagt i gevær, når vi ser, at der er noget galt. Vi har fx givet vores besyv med, da politikerne behandlede aftalen om et ÅOP-loft på kviklån. Mybanker har en unik markedsposition, da vi både arbejder tæt med finanssektoren og vores brugere: Bankkunden. Det giver os et unikt perspektiv og datagrundlag, som vi benytter til at analysere på markedsmekanismerne og nuancere komplekse finansielle emner. Vi arbejder konstant med at skabe gennemsigtighed og simplificere det komplicerede ift. privatøkonomi og bliver ofte anvendt af de danske medier som ekspertkilde. Du vil måske have set os i pressen, hvor vi sidste år var citeret mere end 500 gange.

We at Nume are on a mission to build the world’s first AI CFO for founders – while also building Europe’s next unicorn. We believe in a (very near) future in which AI empowers us all to be successful founders and bring our unique ideas to life, but today financial fear and frustration hold founders back from finding success – or even getting started. Nume is the proactive, reliable, supportive thought partner every founder needs to shoulder their financial anxiety and help make every financial decision with confidence.

We’ve spent the last four years working closely with hundreds of startups and scaleups as their trusted financial partner, delivering CFO-as-a-Service through our SaaS financial management platform and real CFOs. We’ve built deep expertise in what founders struggle with: not just understanding their numbers, but acting on them with clarity and confidence. That journey led us to create Nume, the world’s first AI CFO. Nume is currently in private beta and we are gearing up for a major public launch in August that aims to set a new benchmark for AI product rollouts Built on years of real-world financial experience, Nume combines advanced AI with financial intelligence to bring the power of a CFO to every founder’s fingertips.

Unge Iværksættere er Danmarks største frivillige ungdomsorganisation for iværksætteri. I snart fem år har vi arbejdet for én ting: at gøre iværksætteri til en mulig karrierevej for unge, uanset baggrund eller ressourcer. Vi har samlet over 4.000 unge til vores events. Vi har haft nogle af landets mest betydningsfulde iværksættere og erhvervsledere på scenen. Og vi har set deltagere finde deres medstifter, bygge deres første netværk og starte virksomheder, der lever i bedste velgående i dag. Alt vi laver er gratis. Events, podcast, fællesskab — adgang skal aldrig være en barriere. Vi er et team på 15 unge i København og Århus, der driver foreningen frivilligt ved siden af studier, jobs og egne virksomheder. Vi gør det, fordi vi selv har oplevet, hvad det betyder at møde de rigtige mennesker på det rigtige tidspunkt — og fordi vi tror på, at den mulighed skal være der for langt flere. Hos os får man ansvar, når man tager det. Vi forventer ikke, at du kan det hele — vi forventer, at du har lyst til at lære det. Du går herfra dygtigere, end du kom- og vi glæder os til at arbejde med dig!

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.
