ÅBEN was founded in 2017 in Kolding, where it began as a brewery at the childhood farm of Philip Hulgaard. What started as a hobby alongside a full-time job has since grown into a passion and a way of life. After opening its doors on June 9th, 2017, things moved quickly. ÅBEN was named Brewery of the Year in 2019, marking the beginning of an exciting journey. Since then, ÅBEN has created the electronic music festival O Days, founded the beer festival Kalas, and opened bars in Aarhus, Kødbyen, Roskilde, Copenhagen Airport, Carlsberg Byen, and Nordhavn - with more to come. ÅBEN’s first beer, which has since turned into a signature beer, is called Bryg 61 (Brew 61), named after the number of attempts it took to get the recipe exactly right. Today, ÅBEN produces new beers every month which has led to an archive of more than 400 beers, spanning wide from generously hopped IPA’s, and full-bodied imperial stouts to a wide selection of distinctive sours. Most recently, ÅBEN entered the world of non-alcoholic brewing, with the first beer in the series - Y - winning Best Non-Alcoholic Beer in Denmark 2025, and with two more beers in the series on their way. Join the journey and follow ÅBEN at @aabendk and @aabenbryg.

Geniebelt builds software that helps construction companies deliver repeatable projects faster and more predictably. Construction still runs on spreadsheets, emails, and manual coordination. This becomes especially painful for companies building the same type of project again and again — like residential developers running dozens or hundreds of projects at once. Geniebelt turns repeatable construction into repeatable systems. Our platform standardises project workflows, coordinates teams and subcontractors, and provides visibility across many projects so companies can plan better and reduce delays. Founded in 2012, Geniebelt has supported construction teams for more than a decade. In 2026 the company was spun out as an independent business again — bringing a fresh startup mindset to the next generation of the platform.

ExecuteAI is building a unified AI‑native ecosystem designed to make advanced automation, agent development, and AI‑driven operations accessible to every company—regardless of size, technical maturity, or industry. We believe AI should not be limited to large enterprises with dedicated engineering teams. Instead, it should be a practical, reliable, and affordable tool that any organization can deploy to improve productivity, decision‑making, and customer experience. Our mission is to democratize AI by providing a complete operating system for automation: from outreach and CRM orchestration to agent development, workflow execution, and talent collaboration. At the core of our platform is the ExecuteAI Hub, a login‑based workspace where companies and AI developers meet, collaborate, and deliver real solutions. The Hub functions as a marketplace, a project management environment, and a delivery engine in one. Companies can post AI projects, describe their needs, and connect with qualified AI developers who specialize in automation, agent design, data workflows, and integration engineering. Developers gain a structured environment to showcase their skills, build a portfolio, and deliver high‑quality AI solutions with clear expectations, transparent communication, and standardized processes. We are solving a fundamental problem in the AI industry: fragmentation. Today, companies must navigate a confusing landscape of tools, models, consultants, and platforms. There is no single place where they can reliably define a problem, find the right expertise, and receive a complete, production‑ready AI solution. ExecuteAI eliminates this friction by offering an end‑to‑end ecosystem that covers the entire lifecycle—from idea to deployed agent. Our platform includes tools for outreach automation, CRM orchestration, agent execution, workflow design, and continuous improvement. Everything is built with a strong focus on Nordic values: transparency, trust, quality, and responsible AI governance. For companies, ExecuteAI provides clarity and structure. Instead of hiring expensive consultants or experimenting with disconnected tools, they gain access to a curated talent pool and a standardized delivery framework. For developers, we offer a place to work on meaningful AI projects, collaborate with clients, and build long‑term relationships. For both sides, the Hub ensures that AI development becomes predictable, repeatable, and scalable. ExecuteAI is headquartered in Copenhagen and built on the belief that the future of work will be shaped by human‑AI collaboration. Our goal is to empower organizations to operate faster, smarter, and more efficiently by integrating AI into their daily workflows. Whether a company needs a custom agent, a full automation pipeline, or ongoing AI operations, ExecuteAI provides the tools, talent, and infrastructure to make it happen.

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.

15% of total European emission are from Road freight transportation. 40% of traffic C02 emissions in urban areas are from commercially used vans and trucks. Uptimus is developing a full Fleet-as-a-Service solution to help transportation companies tackle the challenges of transitioning to electric vehicles. Our unique approach combines vehicle sharing, digitalization, and simplifying complexity to make the shift towards greener, more sustainable solutions more accessible, efficient, and manageable for all. We understand that the transportation sector is under pressure to reduce its carbon footprint, and especially for smaller transportation companies, the process can be complex and expensive. This is where Uptimus steps in. By offering a comprehensive Fleet-as-a-Service solution, we enable companies to optimize their fleets and reduce costs through vehicle sharing. Digitalization allows for better understanding and management of vehicle and driver performance, as well as ensuring optimal usage and charging. To further simplify the transition, we provide an all-inclusive package that covers all aspects of the vehicle, including the where, when, and how of charging, making the transition to electric vehicles completely seamless. Our passion for creating a greener future and our expertise in technology and fleet management led us to develop Uptimus. We recognized the urgent need for sustainable transportation solutions and the challenges faced by smaller companies in adopting electric vehicles. We are committed to making a tangible impact on the environment and revolutionizing the way businesses manage their fleets in the era of electric vehicles. By using our platform and solution for shared fleet we can increase reduction to 80% (or 47 tCO2eq per diesel van replaced).

Hyre is a car sharing company that launched the first version of the platform in 2018. We are a joint venture between Møller Mobility Group and Hyre Management, with MMG as the largest shareholder. Today we are the largest car sharing company in the Nordics with over 1600 shared cars. Quick and seamless customer journey With just one app, you can book, unlock and settle the car rental - without ever having to wait in line to pick up your car. Toll, fuel, and rental prices are automatically calculated in real time, providing you with a complete overview and eliminating time spent on administration and settlement. Our vehicles are always available and our mission is to never be more than 5 minutes away from where you are. The fleet of cars is owned and operated by Hyre witch gives us complete control over the customer journey to ensure predictable and safe access to modern cars at competitive prices. We believe in a future of shared, self-driving electric cars because: 1. The car itself changes. Today's cars are connected to the internet, enabling more efficient car sharing. Furthermore, the car is now electric and in due time it will be self-driven. 2. Demographics are changing. The car is no longer an important status symbol, and Hyre sees that today's youth do not want to own a car. People want simplicity, flexibility, and freedom. 3. Sustainability is a requirement. The way we move today is not sustainable. Even with electric cars, densification in the largest cities will force alternative solutions in people transport.
