Sports Lab Copenhagen

Sports Lab Copenhagen is a Sport-for-Purpose Copenhagen-based hub, and network organisation supporting sports innovation entrepreneurship, providing sector-specific expertise and consultancy, and developing the Nordic sports innovation ecosystem. Our vision is simple yet ambitious: we want to create the ideal environment to inspire and support ambitious current and future innovators and entrepreneurs who are on a mission to bring about positive societal change by innovating in and through sports, and breaking ground in the ways that sport is experienced by athletes and fans. To achieve this, we are creating a one-stop shop for all stakeholders and a seamless pathway from university incubation environments to international scale-ups. Highly experienced in the development of sports assets through value and business generating activities and partnerships, we also provide expertise in the form of international advisory and consulting services at both strategic and operational levels. We place a special focus on solutions that impact the UN Sustainable Development Goals by harnessing the Nordic values and approach to a healthy lifestyle and environmentally aware, well-integrated, inclusive, socially and physically active communities.

KRING

We are a venture studio and we are a family of impact funds. We partner with incredible entrepreneurs & corporates to co-create solutions that have a positive impact on society and the planet. We have our own investment fund that enables us to execute fast and focused with co-founders and strategic partners.  We focus on building ventures within health & well-being or energy.  Our team is small and experienced and our network is big and powerful. We are a super ambitious bunch and perhaps some people would consider us crazy. We meditate with brain scanners, we discuss various tests for optimal health, and wonder why the human race is destroying the earth and if in the future an AI would put the human race under administration. However, we want to take part in ensuring that humans actually are a force for good, for each other, and toward this beautiful planet. We start with ourselves: We have weekly runs, CrossFit in the park, healthy eating, sustainable sessions, and of course also the normal casual talks and loads of fun.

Elderlearn

There are too many lonely elderly people and it is too difficult to learn Danish as a foreigner.We solve these two problems by arranging for foreigners, learning Danish, to visit elderly Danes. The foreigner comes to the home of the Dane once a week, They learn Danish by having a normal conversation with the elderly.Municipalities pay us for bettering their activation of the elderly and their integration of foreigners. Currently I, Andreas, is the only one working at Elderlearn. I am however sitting in offices with other start-ups with whom I always have lunch with. I find lunch to be a crucial part of the day and always take at least half an hour free to eat and talk with the others in the office.I love playing board games, eating good food and meeting new people. If you join the team you will be a big part of shaping the office culture, and I will look very much forward to finding my first colleague.Since I am moving to another start-up office soon, the below images show some of the foreigners and elderly I have introduced to each other. They do still give a good impression of why, how, and what we do here at Elderlearn.

CM Navigator A/S

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.

Vikarbooking.com

Vikarbooking (VB) er en digital rekrutterings- og vikarplatform, udviklet til at gøre ansættelser mere enkle, gennemsigtige og markant billigere end de løsninger, som i dag dominerer markedet. Platformen er 100 % online og bygger på strukturerede data, dokumenterbare matches og målbare resultater frem for manuelle processer, mavefornemmelser og dyre, bindende aftaler. Det problem, VB adresserer, er grundlæggende strukturelt. Rekruttering og vikararbejde er i mange år blevet varetaget af aktører, der opererer med høje provisioner og begrænset gennemsigtighed. Gængse vikarbureauer tager typisk 25–35 % i avance, hvilket gør midlertidig arbejdskraft dyr og fastansættelser endnu dyrere. Hertil kommer bindinger, lange opsigelsesvarsler og frikøb, som i praksis låser både virksomheder og medarbejdere fast i uhensigtsmæssige forløb. Samtidig er traditionel rekruttering ofte præget af tunge processer: jobopslag, store mængder ansøgninger, sortering, samtaler og tests – uden sikkerhed for, at ansættelsen bliver den rigtige. For mange virksomheder er det reelle behov ikke flere ansøgninger, men muligheden for hurtigt og risikofrit at se en kandidat fungere i praksis, før der træffes beslutning om fastansættelse. VB er udviklet som et digitalt alternativ til netop denne virkelighed. Platformen samler virksomheder og kandidater online og gør rekruttering til en løbende, datadrevet proces. Kernen i løsningen er Try & Hire, som er Danmarks korteste og billigste vej til fastansættelse. Med Try & Hire kan en virksomhed indgå aftale med en kandidat som vikar og efter blot 20 dage vælge at ansætte vedkommende direkte – uden provision, uden ekstra betaling / binding. I prøveperioden betaler virksomheden alene et lavt, fast dagligt beløb, hvilket giver fuld omkostningskontrol og eliminerer risikoen for uforudsete rekrutteringsudgifter. VB arbejder ikke med traditionelle ansøgninger som udgangspunkt. Kandidater oprettes med strukturerede profiler, hvor kompetencer, erfaring, certifikater og praktiske kvalifikationer er i fokus. Virksomheder kan selv søge, udvælge og tage initiativ, hvilket forkorter vejen fra behov til handling markant. Hele processen foregår digitalt og kan tilpasses virksomhedens aktuelle situation. Et centralt element i VB er målbarhed. Platformen giver virksomheder et samlet online overblik over hele forløbet: antal relevante kandidater, matches baseret på kompetencer, aktive bookinger, gennemførte Try & Hire-forløb og efterfølgende ansættelser. Rekruttering bliver dermed ikke en sort boks, men en proces, der kan dokumenteres, evalueres og optimeres over tid på baggrund af konkrete data. Samlet set reducerer VB både tid, risiko og omkostninger ved ansættelser. Virksomheder får en fleksibel og gennemsigtig løsning, der kan anvendes løbende, mens kandidater får mulighed for at vise deres værdi i praksis frem for på papir. Vikarbooking er skabt ud fra en klar ambition: at erstatte dyre mellemled og ineffektive arbejdsgange med en digital, målbar og fair model, hvor ansættelser bygger på virkeligt arbejde og dokumenterede resultater.

United Nations Youth Association(UNYA) Denmark

UNYA Copenhagen is a volunteer-driven youth organization dedicated to empowering young people to engage with global challenges through the lens of the United Nations’ values and the Sustainable Development Goals. We create an inclusive platform where students and young professionals can learn, collaborate, and take action on issues like climate change, social inequality, peacebuilding, and innovation. We are addressing a clear and growing problem i.e. the disconnect between youth and global institutions. Many young people in Denmark care deeply about sustainability and justice but find it difficult to access meaningful opportunities to participate in international dialogue or contribute to real-world impact. This gap leaves motivated individuals without a channel to apply their energy, creativity, and ideas, while institutions miss out on fresh perspectives and engagement from the very generation that will inherit the future. UNYA Copenhagen bridges this divide by turning global ideals into local action. We organize interactive events, workshops, and panel discussions that make complex global topics accessible and relevant. Our activities are co-created by volunteers from diverse academic and cultural backgrounds who bring their own insights to the table. Through collaboration with universities, NGOs, and public institutions, we connect youth directly with experts and decision-makers, fostering a sense of shared responsibility and agency. What makes UNYA Copenhagen unique is our grassroots approach. We are not just an organization — we are a community that thrives on collective energy and creativity. Every project is designed by young people for young people, ensuring authenticity, inclusivity, and long-term motivation. Our strength lies in our diversity and the genuine commitment of our volunteers, who bring the UN’s global mission to life in a way that feels personal and actionable. The motivation behind UNYA Copenhagen is simple: we believe that youth engagement should not be limited to classrooms or conferences but should become a lived experience. We started this initiative because we wanted to make international dialogue tangible, local, and inspiring. Our team members share a passion for learning, community-building, and positive change — values that drive us to dedicate our time to building something meaningful together. Today, UNYA Copenhagen continues to grow as a platform where ideas turn into impact. We are seeking motivated individuals who want to gain experience in leadership, communication, and project management while contributing to a global cause. By joining The Hub’s Community Program, we hope to reach more passionate volunteers who want to be part of a dynamic network that connects Copenhagen’s youth with the world.
