TEDx was created in the spirit of TED's mission, ideas worth spreading. Started as a four-day conference in California 30 years ago, TED has grown to support its mission with multiple initiatives. The two annual TED Conferences invite the world's leading thinkers and doers to speak for 18 minutes or less. The program is designed to give communities, organizations and individuals the opportunity to stimulate dialogue through TED-like experiences at the local level. At TEDx events, a screening of TEDTalks videos - or a combination of live presenters and TEDTalks videos - sparks deep conversation and connections. TEDx events are fully planned and coordinated independently, on a community-by-community basis.  Many of these talks are then made available, free, at TED.com. TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Nandan Nilekani, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Sal Khan and Daniel Kahneman. https://tedxcopenhagen.dk/join

1. Short Description (The Pitch) HEIMDALL'S Hearing Center is developing a modern and more human approach to hearing care, helping people with hearing loss improve their quality of life through personalized guidance, advanced hearing technology, and professional expertise. We combine technology, flexible service, and close customer relationships to make hearing aids less complicated, more accessible, and far more tailored to each individual user. 2. The Problem – What Are We Solving? Hearing loss affects millions of people and is a growing societal challenge, especially among older adults, but increasingly also among younger generations due to noise exposure, stress, and constant use of audio devices. Many people live with untreated hearing loss for years because the process around hearing aids often feels overwhelming, impersonal, or driven by standardized solutions. The consequences are significant — both socially and mentally. Hearing loss can lead to isolation, misunderstandings, reduced quality of life, and in some cases stress and loneliness. At the same time, many customers feel a lack of trust in the market because the guidance they receive often feels sales-driven rather than genuinely focused on their needs. HEIMDALL'S Hearing Center wants to change that experience. We believe hearing care should be personal, transparent, and built on trust. Our goal is to create a hearing center where customers feel understood and receive solutions that fit their daily lives — not just their hearing test results. 3. The Solution – How Are We Solving It? We are building a hearing center focused on personalized service, modern technology, and long-term relationships with our customers. HEIMDALL'S Hearing Center provides professional hearing tests, individual counseling, and carefully selected hearing aid solutions that match each customer’s lifestyle, needs, and budget. What differentiates us from traditional providers is our focus on the complete customer experience. We want to make the process simple, comfortable, and trustworthy from the very first contact to ongoing follow-up care. We combine in-person support with digital solutions, flexible appointments, and close customer service so users feel supported every step of the way. We work with the latest hearing aid technologies and fitting methods, but our greatest strength is our ability to turn technology into something practical, understandable, and meaningful in everyday life. Our mission is not only to improve hearing but to improve people’s social lives, confidence, and freedom. 4. The Why – What Motivated Us to Start? HEIMDALL'S Hearing Center was founded from a desire to make a real difference for people who feel overlooked by the existing system. We saw a market where many customers experienced a lack of personal attention, standardized solutions, and too little focus on the human side of hearing loss. We believe great hearing care is about more than technology. It is about giving people the ability to actively participate in conversations, family life, work, and social communities again. Our motivation comes from the ambition to build a company based on professionalism, honest guidance, and strong customer relationships. HEIMDALL'S Hearing Center should be a place where people feel safe, respected, and genuinely helped — not just treated.

Copenhagen float offers floating therapy, massage and body therapy in the most beautiful oasis by Nørreport. We are all subject to far too much sensory input, hectic schedules and increasingly stressful lives. The result is that most people have a dysregulated nervous system, and this takes a toll on physical and mental health. Everyone can benefit from floating, and we have a wide range of guests! People use it for muscle restitution, to alleviate symptoms of stress and anxiety, for pain management, PTSD, arthritis, sleeping disorders, skin conditions, brain fog/mental decluttering and as a powerful tool in meditation, visualization and problem-solving. Massage is a very complementary treatment, and our therapists can do wonders when working on a body that has already had 1 hour of pure blissful relaxation in the float tank. We have a focus on the customer experience, ensuring that each guest is guided through their floating experience from start to finish, and has the time and space to "land" again after their session. Our space and our service allows people to enter a new state of mind, let go of their day, and return to their body, emotions, naturally-relaxed state of being. We believe that floating has enormous potential in today's society. Our founder Shelley started to float 8 years ago in other countries and it helped her to recover from a very stressful period of her life. She was driven to open Denmark's first float space in 2019 together with experienced massage therapist Boo Hilmer.

Aeris is a Copenhagen based bottled cocktail brand, handcrafted to the highest of standards. The concept is simple: everybody should be able to enjoy a high quality, perfectly balanced cocktail, regardless of their skillset or financial status. More often than not, a really well balanced cocktail, made with high quality ingredients, is only really accessible in high end restaurants, hotels and bars. For those with the financial means to enjoy cocktails in these places, Aeris cocktails is simply a really nice supplement when one wants to have an equally good tasting drink at home (the importance of this rose during the pandemic and lockdown). For those with less deep pockets, Aeris is simply put some bottled luxury for a decent price. Our recipes are an echo from Barcelona where our founders started their journey, and every cocktail is handcrafted and bottled to the highest of standards. The essence of Aeris is all about wanting to step out of the box, do something that feels fresh and exciting, a new concept embracing that amazing Copenhagen vibe. Our brand oozes of luxury, and yet, is very affordable, for anybody who wants some atmosphere at any place, at any time. Sustainability and quality is key for us and so we have a zero plastic policy and refill options to ensure our bottles get reused. The founders are currently trying to find the time to keep up with the growth and demand, and are in need of a cool team of people to help in the journey of taking Aeris out into the rest of the world.
