BuddyUp Social is a social discovery platform helping adults in Denmark—especially expats and newcomers—find meaningful connections through shared interests and real-life events. We’re solving the problem of adult social isolation by making it easy to create, join, and engage in hobby-based meetups, all through one intuitive app. Making friends as an adult can be surprisingly difficult. Whether you're a Dane moving to a new city or an expat starting fresh in Denmark, it’s common to feel socially disconnected. Many adults don’t know where to start when it comes to meeting new people outside of work, dating apps, or closed social circles. This problem is widespread and well-documented—especially in Denmark, where surveys consistently show that many internationals struggle with social integration, and even locals describe it as awkward to make new friends past a certain age. We’re tackling this head-on by making socializing more accessible, interest-based, and low-pressure. BuddyUp Social is designed to break down the barriers of adult friendship and create opportunities for spontaneous, real-world connection. Whether it’s joining a hike, hosting a board game night, attending a ceramics class, or finding a casual pub quiz crew, BuddyUp is all about connecting people who are "up for it"—with no pressure, no awkward messaging phase, and no algorithms getting in the way. Unlike traditional social platforms focused on digital interaction, BuddyUp is built around real-life meetups. Users can explore and join events happening near them, or create their own. Events can be public or invite-only, recurring or one-off, and are always centered around shared hobbies or interests. The app also welcomes collaborations with local businesses, allowing them to showcase open community events, bringing even more variety and accessibility to users. We’re launching in Denmark first—starting with Copenhagen and Aarhus—before expanding to similar cities across Europe. The idea behind BuddyUp was born from personal experience. As someone who returned to Denmark after years abroad, and with friends struggling to meet people after relocating, it became clear how socially challenging adulthood can be. We kept hearing the same story: “I’d love to meet new people, but I just don’t know how or where.” Instead of settling for outdated forums, clunky Facebook groups, or apps not designed for platonic connection, we decided to build a better solution ourselves. BuddyUp is more than an app—it’s a movement to make adult friendship and community-building normal, easy, and enjoyable again. We’re passionate about creating a product that helps people feel less alone and more empowered to take the first step toward new friendships. We believe that real-life connections are essential for personal happiness and social wellbeing—and we’re here to make those moments happen.

Savery is developing an agentic staging tool for enterprises. Its agentic workflow management, agnostic to the choice of LLM, is able to handle complex development and workflow automatisations. Savery's aim is to build an enterprise class agentic management platform specific for use cases where enterprise requirements are core: segregated instances, private cloud or on-location hosting, no-data sharing etc. Savery's core is a proprietary agentic management tool. Each agent handles specific tasks—planning, coding, testing, or researching—ensuring seamless collaboration. This approach automates code creation, refactoring, and legacy code migration, enabling non-programmers to execute technical tasks through intuitive interfaces. The aim of savery is to be the ideal choice for enterprises that are not locked in to a specific cloud provider.

Advancing UXO Detection through Drone Innovation At Dropla Tech ApS, we believe that sensor fusion and AI hold immense potential to transform the detection and removal of unexploded ordnance (UXO). Developing autonomous drone systems that integrate the latest: • Multispectral sensors to rapidly scan the land and precisely locate UXO underground • Machine learning algorithms that fuse data from multiple layers to identify anomalies indicating potential explosive hazards • High-resolution 3D mapping capabilities to generate high-precision georeferenced maps marking UXO hotspots and safe zones to guide safe and efficient removal Latest data cleaning and processing techniques enable our drones to cover territory much faster - making surveys up to 10x more efficient. We realize true impact requires more than technology alone. That's why Dropla researchers: • Collaborate closely with demining groups to ensure our drone solutions meet real-world needs • Contribute data and insights back to the community through open dataset initiatives that advance the broader UXO detection field Our true north will always be the same: to harness technological progress for good by helping rid conflict zones of unexploded threats and giving communities an opportunity to rebuild.

As society has progressively moved towards increased digitalisation and users have increased requirements for remote access to services, there is a greater need for secure methodologies that allow companies to identify and transact with customers and other stakeholders remotely. The government is no exception to this change: employees and stakeholders increasingly expect to be able to interact remotely with the government, both easily and safely. Biometric technologies are becoming ubiquitous, especially in support of remote interactions: when implemented well, they can bring tremendous advantages to business, government and their stakeholders with a slicker user experience, improved trust and lower costs. Inevitably, new opportunities come with new challenges, including: - Identity theft: biometric databases are proliferating and criminals are highly motivated to acquire biometric credentials and use them to impersonate others, usually for fraudulent purposes. Biometric credentials are far more valuable to criminals because, unlike passwords, they can’t simply be changed if stolen. - Trust: as remote interactions become the norm, it’s essential that both parties can be highly confident of the other’s identity. A business, government or service provider will need to be confident that the person connecting to the service is both a real person and the right person. - Exclusion: for those who do not have the necessary technology or skills, or perhaps bias in the biometric system that discriminates against some demographics and characteristics (such as skin colour and ageing). - Compliance: unlike passwords, biometrics are tied to an individual’s characteristics and could be used to identify that individual. GDPR places biometrics in a special or sensitive category of personal data and demands much stronger safeguards around collection and safekeeping. Trust Stamp recognises the challenges being faced by users and the market, and has responded to these challenges by creating a solution which provides users with a secure, private, and accessible identity. Trust Stamp establishes trust in a connected world, delivering trusted identity systems at the heart of how organisations and individuals transact in the digital world and beyond. Trust Stamp creates a secure, private and accessible identity. Trust Stamp answers the ultimate question of ‘Who am I dealing with?’. Is the person accessing the systems at that point in time, a real person and the right person? Trust Stamp’s patented technology enables businesses and public sector services to create trust and to protect themselves and their users, while empowering individuals to retain ownership of their data and prevent fraudulent activity using their identity. Trust Stamp focuses on three main areas of identity: - Creating an identity / Identity proofing. Trust Stamp's radical innovations in biometrics and data protection empower people to access more with an identity that can be safely shared and stored. - Powering transactions that enfranchise all parties involved. When our identity technology is used to open a bank account or access a public service, both the individual and organisation achieve higher levels of protection and confidence in the security of their data and the integrity of their systems. Trust Stamp's solutions elevate all sides of an identity system. - Mitigating risk to identity data. Trust Stamp leads with a privacy and security focus. Our technology limits the potential for misuse of identity data and damage due to data loss by creating a secure and private identity with the Irreversibly Transformed Token (IT2).
