Blend

Blend is a mission-led start-up which believes business should be a force for social good. Blend works with social enterprises who employ and uplift marginalized women from patriarchal villages in India to bring elegant products to the urban buyer in Nordics. Our main product line is carpets hand-made with natural materials such as wool, jute, silk and recycled PET. The carpets are made with the same superior weaving technique of Persian carpets but have simple and neutral designs which suit the Nordic design sensibility. By promoting handmade products by marginalized women Blend can impact 11 out of 17 UN SDG goals. We launched in Q2 and already have our products in boutique store in North of Copenhagen. Once we establish market connects, Blend wants to connect designers from Denmark and other Nordic countries to production centers in these rural villages to blend the functional Nordic design with 5000 years old artisanal talent of India. In future, Blend will also explore tech-based leasing options for its high-end home furnishing range. We believe that everyone should be able to upgrade home furnishings without giving-in to consumerism and impacting mother nature adversely. Blend is founded by Shakti, an Indian who has lived in Denmark and worked at many Senior Director level positions in Danish companies like Mæersk, Deloitte and Rambøll. Through Blend, Shakti hopes to bring functional Danish design closer to the 5000 years old artisanal talent of India. When one wholeheartedly loves two countries so diametrically opposite to each other, then it’s impossible to hold back from exploring what a blend of these 2 cultures can offer to the world. Her desire to contribute to women empowerment through livelihood is rooted in her own experience and observation of how girls are still seen as a liability in many rural areas. She spoke about it on the award-winning BBC podcast –Dear Daughter: You are wanted https://open.spotify.com/episode/1FX2Gz0o2TSTG7Ymva9YVz?si=3FcvDo9QQ0GBtOg9MNth2Q

We collaborate with international brands, events, and organizations across Europe and beyond, producing video, photography, and digital content for corporate, lifestyle, hospitality, sports, and event-based projects. Our work spans from high-energy event productions and brand campaigns to social media content designed to actually perform and drive engagement.

We combine hands-on creative direction with efficient production setups, rapid turnaround, and a strong understanding of how content is consumed today. We constantly test new tools, formats, and workflows - from AI-assisted editing to social-first storytelling - to stay ahead of the curve. We’re a growing team with a strong international mindset, looking for curious, motivated people who want real responsibility, real projects, and the chance to help shape how content is created in the next generation of creative agencies.

Danish Development Research Network (DDRN)

Danish Development Research Network (DDRN) is a non-governmental organization comprising individual and institutional members based in any country. Membership is open to researchers, students, aid practitioners, consultants, private and public entities and others who are involved in the generation, communication and application of knowledge to support sustainable development in the Global South countries. There is a wide gap between North and South in research as a resource for development. According to the UNESCO Science Report 2015, low income countries had 121 researchers per 1 mill. inhabitants, as opposed to high income countries with 3,814 researchers per 1 mill. inhabitants in 2013. During the same year, 1,363,074 scientific articles were published by researchers in OECD member states, as compared to only 3,909 articles by researchers in low income countries. Global challenges call for joint research to retrieve and combine data across North-South divides. The mutual interests between South and North researchers in exploring global solutions set agendas for research beyond conventional development studies. The emphasis in Denmark on innovation holds a potential for a broad engagement with South countries towards the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Research by South researchers working in Denmark provides knowledge resources for South-North public and private partnerships.

DanAid ApS

DanAid is a mobile Micro-health insurance service providing optimized health plans for the millions on uninsured across Africa. In most countries in Africa unlike Europe, access to healthcare is cash based, with families having to cover all medical costs out of pocket and often up-front. This causes people to delay, skip or forgo care for lack of money, or to choose between healthcare and food or education. The consequences are drastic and well documented. The traditional insurance and community based health financing solution have proven ineffective. Only about 5% of the population is covered, mainly because of high prices, lack of trust and the low reach of their agent based models. We have built a hybrid platform where families can subscribe for an amount they can afford and receive quality coverage for most of their medical needs. Our solution leverages mobile payment facilities as well as the existing healthcare infrastructure to provide near real-time access to care for our subscribers and their families. The users receive the care they need simply by sending us an SMS or scanning our mobile APP through our specially designed "Digital Patient Journey".

We are helping unemployed and uneducated people with gaining proof of their skills. We have a cooporation with 500+ companies, that are used to this kind of labour. Together with these companies, we have made 300+ small videocourses about specific tasks in the different companies or branches. Hereby people can get proof of what they already know, and they can learn a little more at the same time. Once they have done that we have an automatic CV-maker. It just need you to answer some simple questions (then it fills out CV automatically), add a picture, and then it pops up with 10-15 suggestions of how your CV could be. The same story regarding "Apply", but here you have the option for choosing between a lot of sentences, so you dont need a big vocabulary yourself. All this is packed in to be used on handheld devices, as it is seldom that people in this stage of their life, have admittance to a well functioning PC/MAC. The package is a BtG and BtB solution, and we already have contracts with. some of the biggest players on the market.

Emini

Hvad laver vi Vi har udviklet et fagsystem til beskæftigelsesområdet og vikar- og rekrutteringsbranchen. Systemet er det bedste i markedet. For os handler om mennesker og processer og om, hvordan man udvikler fagsystemer, som sikrer meget effektive arbejdsgange, og samtidigt sikrer fokus på interaktionen mellem kandidater og kunder. Det kræver kendskab til markedet, konkurrencevilkårene, lovgivning, overenskomster, såvel som en indgående viden om de nyeste tekniske muligheder, brugervenlighed, digitalisering m.m. Det er her vi kommer ind i billedet. For os handler digitalisering om service, der betaler sig. Altså om at øge servicen på den ene side og mindske omkostningerne på den anden side - helt enkelt. Vi har udviklet IT-systemer i mere end 10 år, og vi har et dybt kendskab til de brancher vi leverer løsninger til. Vi har gennem alle årene leveret nogle af markedets bedste systemer, og vi har sat nye standarder for, hvad man kan og, hvad du, som bruger bør forvente af dit sagsbehandlingssystem. Emini blev stiftet i 2004 og er i dag en del af Intelliplan AB. Vi er bosiddende i Herlev. Vores team består af udviklere, supportere og projektledere, som alle har mange års erfaring med udvikling af sags- og styresystemer. Viden og erfaring gør det dog ikke alene, idet de vigtigste input kommer fra vores kunder og markedet. Derfor gør vi meget ud af at være i tæt dialog med vores kunder og andre markedsaktører, så vores systemer hele tiden afspejler vores kunders behov. Vision Det latinske udtryk "Mobilis in mobili" er vores mantra, hvilket symboliserer et ønske om, at være fleksibel og tilpasningsparat i et konkurrencepræget og foranderligt marked. Det var mottoet for ubåden Nautilus i Jules Vernes berømte eventyr "En verdensomsejling under havet" fra 1869. Dog et eventyr, så repræsenterer Nautilus en blanding af hvad der kan lade sig gøre når man kombinerer teori og en stærk teknisk viden med ambitionen om at ville lykkes. Denne kombination symboliserer på fornemste vis hvad vi står for, og er en konstant inspiration i vores fortsatte stræben efter at udvikle og levere, markedets bedste system til vores kunder.
