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.

At Complir, we’re on a mission to make product compliance effortless and future-proof. Compliance teams are under pressure like never before. Scattered product data, inconsistent reporting standards, and a constant stream of new EU regulations make it harder to stay compliant - and even harder to stay competitive. Many brands rely on outdated systems, external consultants, and reactive approaches just to keep up. We believe it’s time for a smarter way. Complir uses AI agents to automate complex compliance workflows, connecting scattered data, filling gaps, and surfacing risks before they become problems. Our platform helps brands anticipate regulatory changes, simplify reporting, and accelerate sustainable practices like reducing harmful chemicals and cutting resource consumption. By making compliance easier and more transparent, Complir helps brands avoid fines, recalls, and reputational damage - while saving time and resources. We’re already working with some of the biggest Nordic retailers to reshape how product compliance is managed. We’re just getting started, but the potential is massive. It’s time to modernize the backbone of retail.
