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.

Visma Creditro is a fast-growing SaaS scale-up that fights money laundering and fraud together with our customers from the financial sector. Our platform makes it easy and simple for them to comply with regulatory compliance to which they are subject. Financial crime weakens confidence in the financial sector and related professions and to all those who deliver a good and fair job every day. Therefore, it is crucial that banks, accountants and lawyers get far better tools to spot suspicious behavior in their clients. Thats’s what drives us. We strive to create a world free of fraud, scams and money laundering. At Creditro we specialize in the development of intelligent software for the investigation of economic crime. We have used that experience to develop a platform that can help stop financial crime and make it easy for our clients to stay compliant. The platform can today identify 9 out of 10 fraudulent companies in Denmark and warns against 2 out of 3 of all bankruptcies at least three months before they happen. Creditro also has automated credit assessments, and according to our customers, a KYC-check in our platform only takes around 5 minutes. In 2022, Creditro became part of the Norwegian IT group, Visma, where we continue as an independent company, but now with even greater muscle, ready to fight for a world without financial crime and money laundering.

Our mission is to create a contraceptive technology that renders hormonal birth control obsolete. We are addressing the millions of women that are demanding non-hormonal products with fewer side-effects to manage their fertility. Today, nearly 60 years after the first oral contraceptive pill was sold, most prescription birth control methods are variations on the same synthetic hormones. In collaboration with the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden, we have developed a technology that reinforces the natural barrier properties of cervical mucus. The principle of the technology is to use topically-applied biopolymers to make cervical mucus impenetrable to sperm cells throughout the menstrual cycle. Our approach enables a potentially groundbreaking product that protects within a minute and for extended periods without the systemic side-effects known from hormonal contraceptives. In 2019 we raised $1.8M for pre-clinical development. Today we are incubated at the BioInnovation Institute, conveniently located in central Copenhagen, with access to state-of-the-art labs.

Millions of research papers are published every year. They contain discoveries that save lives, protect the planet, and inspire technological breakthroughs. But today, scholarly publishing is coming up against some big challenges. Behind every paper is a tangle of mandates, fees, and licenses. And the systems used to manage these things are outdated. It leaves everyone involved up to their necks in confusing admin. As industry outsiders, we have the chance to take a shake things up. By building a user-friendly platform that simplifies this complexity through great design and powerful integrations. So authors, publishers, institutions, and funders can put their full focus on quality research. We’re an international team headquartered in Copenhagen, with a handful of employees working remotely from elsewhere in Europe and the US.

Boardway is an AI-first search and matching platform helping founders, investors, and companies find the right board and advisory talent to accelerate growth. We solve the network-driven and biased process of board recruitment, matching candidates based on skills, experience, and strategic fit — not who they know. Today, most boards are formed through closed networks, limiting diversity and competence. Boardway offers a verified talent pool and a data-driven matching engine that helps companies build stronger, more balanced boards. Through our Smart Dashboard, users can manage searches, assess skills gaps, and track board performance in one place. Born from firsthand experience with the inefficiency of traditional recruitment, Boardway exists because we believe better boards build better companies — and that smart algorithms and transparency are essential to shaping the future of modern governance.
