Ready for a career that's both challenging and deeply rewarding? Welcome to Wired Relations About Wired Relations: Wired Relations is a GRC solution - tailored for privacy and information security. We were founded in 2017 in Copenhagen, Denmark. At the time, we realised - from our own experience - that compliance professionals need to turn fragile privacy and information security into sustainable GRC programmes through structure, overview and control of their processes. Since then, we’ve built a SaaS platform to do just that. It is designed to be easy to use, collaborative and support the all important workflows of a privacy and infosec function. In 2019, we welcomed our first clients to the solution, and the customer base is still growing with private companies and public organisations which handle significant volumes of personal data and take privacy and security seriously. New privacy and security laws and frameworks constantly surface. Luckily, Wired Relations makes it easy to accommodate new regulations as they enter into force. Join us in leading the world to sustainable GRC programmes. For more information, go to wiredrelations.com

We are building a patented security and authentication solution designed to protect products against fraud, counterfeiting, and misuse — across industries, not only textiles. Many industries struggle with the same core problems: • Fraudulent returns • Counterfeit products • Lack of reliable product authentication • High manual control and verification costs Existing solutions are often expensive, complex, or limited to specific product types. Our solution is a patent-protected security seal that can be applied to any physical product with a surface, not just garments. It enables fast and reliable authentication, prevents product tampering, and creates traceability throughout the product’s lifecycle. The technology is simple, scalable, and does not require changes to existing logistics or IT systems. It can be used in fashion, electronics, luxury goods, consumer products, and other industries where product authenticity and return control matter. We hold a granted European patent covering 39 countries, and the business is designed to scale globally through a licensing model. This allows partners to operate locally while we retain full ownership of the intellectual property. Our mission is to make product authentication and fraud prevention simple, scalable, and commercially viable, helping brands protect both revenue and trust.

Our story ChromaWay is a blockchain technology company. Since 2014, we have been developing and refining industry-defining blockchain technology platforms. Blockchain pioneers We created the first protocol for issuing tokens on the Bitcoin network. We used it to issue fiat currency together with LHV bank in 2014, and then to crowdfund startups on the Funderbeam platform. We designed a blockchain agnostic client-side validated smart contracting platform that put privacy first before privacy became a hot topic in blockchain. We have used it to support internal leasing in large organisations, issue financial instruments, and to allow government agencies to issue licenses digitally. In 2018 we used it to demo a live property sale together with the Swedish Land Registry. Technology by us We are the creators of relational blockchain, a new blockchain architecture which combines the power and flexibility of a relational database and the fault tolerant decentralised security of a blockchain. We built Postchain, a private blockchain or consortium database using the relational blockchain architecture. Postchain has registered property on three continents, accelerated the growth of green finance, and formed the basis for a proposed national e-currency. Relational blockchain also powers Chromia, our public platform for decentralized applications. Relational blockchain allows Chromia to offer a user and developer experience which no other blockchain platform can match.

Our carbon emissions are still increasing, and the evidence for dramatic climate change is all around. We want to do our part in solving it. In Europe, 12% of our carbon emissions come from heating our homes - just as much as using our cars. Getting those emissions to zero will be a gargantuan task: retrofitting 90 million buildings across many countries is a hard problem. Lun’s mission is to decarbonise homes faster, by building an operating system for tradespeople in the European energy renovation industry. Our first task is to make heat pump installations an absolute no-brainer for plumbers and electricians.

Something is wrong with how we meet new people. Meeting new people is supposed to be exciting, spontaneous and fun. Yet, datings apps have turned it into a monotonous routine. All dating apps claim to be different, but they are essentially all a speed dating game played in solo mode with a pool of strangers. It’s a game of swipe, match and “hey, what’s up” chats that rarely lead anywhere. Sometimes you miraculously get past the boring smalltalk, dodge the ghosting and actually meet! But more often than not, the date you “won” feels like a boring coffee interview. We deserve better than that. That’s why we are creating a different experience of meeting new people. What if instead of playing this speed dating game by yourself, you are playing together with your friends. Instead of the coffee date interview, it’s more like going to a spontaneous party with your close friends and bumping into a crush. If we can bring our vision for this social network to life, a spontaneous adventure of meeting new people with your friends will always be just a few clicks away.

Global Startup Awards (GSA) was born out of the Danish startup ecosystem through the Nordic Startup Awards in 2012. What began as a regional initiative has grown into the world’s largest independent startup competition platform, now covering 154 countries across 19 regions. Through its competition framework and flagship events, GSA connects startups, investors, corporates, governments, and ecosystem enablers to showcase and accelerate innovation on both regional and global levels. GSA has offices in Copenhagen and Budapest and works closely with governments, investors, and business partners worldwide. Its model operates through a licensee-and-partnership structure, in which external organisations under the GSA framework lead several regional programs. Beyond competitions, GSA has evolved into a global innovation platform spanning multiple pillars — from events and content to data, insights, and venture partnerships — that drives collaboration between the public and private sectors to strengthen innovation ecosystems around the world.
