GLYON is developing a CO₂-powered textile-to-textile recycling technology to help brands, fiber producers, and recyclers solve the growing textile waste crisis with a breakthrough chemical recycling process that turns waste into virgin-quality raw materials for new fibers—without fossil fuels. We address the massive problem of textile waste, a global crisis where over 92 million tonnes of textile waste are discarded each year—most of it ending up in landfills or incinerated. This contributes to major pollution issues but also forces the textile industry to continue its dependence on virgin fossil-based materials. Our solution targets fiber producers, brands, and recyclers who need circular raw material solutions. Our CO₂-based chemical recycling process breaks down polyester textiles into building blocks and leaves other fibers like cotton intact. Both PET building blocks and cotton can be used to produce new, high-quality fibers without the need for virgin oil and reducing water consumption and CO₂ emissions.

Virkley helps real estate developers and agencies sell properties before they are built by transforming 2D floorplans into interactive, life-like virtual showrooms. The Problem Selling homes that don’t yet exist is challenging. Buyers struggle to visualize and plan their future space from static floorplans, leading to indecision, lengthy sales cycles, and lost revenue. Real estate companies often rely on expensive, time-consuming 3D agencies to create visualizations—making it impractical to showcase every unit interactively. Even after purchase, buyers risk making poor furnishing decisions, wasting time and money on furniture that doesn’t fit. Our Solution Virkley transforms the static 2D floorplans into hyper-realistic virtual property tours, allowing buyers to step inside a space before it’s built. They can walk through rooms, switch between furnished and unfurnished views, adjust interiors, and take measurements. This helps property developers and real estate agencies showcase homes more effectively while making the buying experience more engaging and informed.

Folke Furniture is a D2C furniture brand from Copenhagen. We design, produce, and sell modular sofas made for real life, for people who move, change plans, and live in homes with staircases, doorways, and shifting needs. Most sofas are built for a forever home. But many of us live in apartments, move often, and need furniture that can follow along, without drama. So we’re replacing bulky, one-shape-for-life sofas with a simple system: tool-free modules that ship in boxes, zip together in minutes, and rearrange whenever life does. Our modular sofa is built from four core modules, giving customers the freedom to: • start small now • switch between sofa, lounge, guest bed, or conversation corner in seconds • add more modules later, instead of replacing the whole thing Folke is a Danish name with a simple meaning. It comes from “folkelig,” meaning "for the people," and nods to folklore: the everyday stories we share and pass on. Because home isn’t just walls and furniture. It’s movie nights, long talks, kids on the cushions, and friends who stay a little longer. Folke began in 2024 out of personal need. When our founder, Christoffer, became a family of three, he didn’t want “a sofa.” He wanted a living space: a soft spot for board games, wrestling, scrolling, reading, real conversations, and overnight grandparents. In 2025, he left his CEO role to build Folke. If you value practical design, honest products, and building something that lasts, join us in shaping Folke.

VentriJect is developing the groundbreaking Seismofit® System, a health solution that uses advanced seismocardiography and an AI algorithm to help healthcare and wellness providers assess cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) accurately and efficiently, without physical exercise. Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), often measured by VO₂max, is a powerful predictor of long-term health and a key indicator of a person's risk for chronic diseases. Unfortunately, current methods for measuring VO₂max are often complex, time-consuming, and require a high-intensity physical effort (e.g., on a treadmill), which makes them inaccessible to many, especially the elderly, those with mobility issues, or patients recovering from illness. This widespread problem affects millions of people globally who could benefit from a simple, accurate, and non-invasive way to assess their fitness levels. We have developed the Seismofit® System, an award-winning medical device that revolutionizes CRF measurement. Our solution uses advanced seismocardiography—a technology that records the micro-vibrations of the chest caused by heartbeats—in combination with a sophisticated AI algorithm. In under three minutes, our system provides a highly accurate estimate of VO₂max without the need for any physical exercise. This fast, simple, and non-invasive process makes it possible for healthcare and wellness providers to easily integrate CRF assessments into routine check-ups, helping them provide more personalized care and better disease prevention strategies. The spark for VentriJect was ignited by a clear unmet need in the healthcare industry. We recognized that while VO₂max is a vital health metric, its assesment was limited to specialized settings due to the demanding nature of existing tests. This created a barrier to widespread adoption, preventing countless individuals from understanding and improving their cardiorespiratory health. Our team was motivated to bridge this gap by creating a technology that could democratize access to this critical health data. By making CRF assessments simple and accessible, we are not just building a product; we are empowering healthcare providers and patients to take a proactive approach to health, with the ultimate goal of improving quality of life for millions.
