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

maiaa is a curated marketplace for design-led meeting and event spaces, helping companies and teams find venues with character for meaningful, in-person gatherings. We combine carefully selected spaces with a thoughtful booking flow to replace generic, transactional venue sourcing with a more human, design-driven experience. The problem we’re solving: Finding inspiring spaces for meetings and small events is still fragmented and inefficient. Companies often rely on a mix of spreadsheets, emails, and generic listing platforms that prioritize volume over quality. The result is wasted time, inconsistent experiences, and venues that don’t reflect the purpose or culture of the gathering. This affects: • companies that value design, brand, and experience • venue owners with distinctive spaces who lack the right distribution and tools Despite a clear demand for better spaces, the market remains operationally outdated and aesthetically undifferentiated. How we solve it: maiaa brings structure, curation, and clarity to the process. We: • curate a limited selection of character-rich venues rather than listing everything • focus on storytelling, aesthetics, and context — not just capacity and price • provide a request-based booking flow that respects how venues actually operate • integrate experiences and add-ons to make gatherings more intentional and complete The platform is being built to balance design sensibility, operational realism, and scalable technology — with a strong focus on usability for both guests and hosts. Why we started: maiaa grew out of firsthand experience. As a founder, operator, and boutique hospitality owner, I’ve spent years working with spaces, guests, and teams — and repeatedly experienced how broken and uninspiring venue sourcing can be, especially for gatherings that actually matter. The motivation behind maiaa is simple: to create a better alternative for people who care about where they meet, how they gather, and the experience they create together. This is not about building another marketplace — it’s about raising the standard for how physical spaces are discovered and used.

MovoGo is developing a high-speed, AI-powered rental platform for contractors who need heavy equipment - fast. We’re solving the chaos of fragmented rentals with instant booking, dynamic pricing, and real-time availability. Think Uber meets Airbnb, built for construction. The What: what are you solving? The €35B+ equipment rental industry is stuck in the past. Contractors waste hours calling rental houses, chasing quotes, and juggling delays. Meanwhile, suppliers sit on underutilized machines and outdated booking systems. It’s fragmented, analog, and slow - killing time, budgets, and margins across the board. This isn’t a niche problem. It affects tens of thousands of businesses, every single day. The How: How MovoGo solves this We’re building the infrastructure layer for machine rentals, not just another marketplace. Contractors get real-time availability, instant booking, and transparent pricing. Rental houses get automated fleet management, AI-driven pricing, and higher utilization. The platform controls pricing logic within supplier-defined ranges eliminating race-to-the-bottom chaos and creating a unified user experience. We’ve validated the problem, mapped the tech stack, built brand and design assets, and have multiple rental houses ready for onboarding. Now we need the right CTO to bring it to life. Fast. The Why: Why we’re doing this We’ve built companies before. We’ve scaled. We’ve seen how clunky, offline workflows bleed time and value especially in construction. But this one stuck with us. The inefficiency was everywhere. Nobody had built a true platform that just works. No AI. No instant rentals. Just friction. So we said screw it. Let’s build it ourselves and flip the industry.

enya health is an early-stage tech startup building the future of menstrual cycle tracking by combining hardware and software. With data and science, we are empowering women to understand their body and hormonal cycle. More than ever before, women are interested in tracking and understanding their menstrual cycle. Today, the majority of women are disconnected from their menstrual cycle due to modern’s life stress, birth prevention and lack of information. As an example, ~80% of women don’t know when their monthly ovulation occurs, the main event in their menstrual cycle and a key health indicator. This lack of awareness is a contributing factor to the growing problem of hormonal diseases (~60% of women suffers from hormonal imbalances) and infertility worldwide (~15-20% of women).

At ROICO Solutions we are developing a collaborative painting robot working alongside painters boosting productivity, reducing physical strain, and addressing labour shortage on the construction site. We focus on ease-of-use with a plug-and-play design for increased mobility and flexibility. We experienced ourselves how challenging and physically demanding it was to paint. This made us curious to figure out what construction painters are faced with. - Painters have the lowest margins in construction - 86% of painting companies experience an increasing skilled labour shortage - 33% of all EU painters will retire within a decade, while labour shortage increases We aim to solve these issues with a collaborative, semiautonomous robotic painting solution for construction painters. Our solution: - Paints walls and ceilings up to 3.5 meters high using an extendable pillar; - Navigates autonomously along walls through a mobile base; - Object detection to recognize areas that should not be painted (e.g. windows or sockets); - Uses sensors to detect any obstacles or people to avoid collisions; - Mobile application allows manual control or semi-autonomous mode - Software and sensors gather data (e.g. wall type, objects on the wall and ceiling, paint consumption, activity timer, and data associated with navigation and mapping)

Our mission is to disrupt the global construction industry through world class multifunctional construction robots based on 3D printing systems. Faster. Better. Cheaper. We 3D printed Europe’s first building in 2017. Subsequently the first 2- and 3-story buildings in Europe, specifically in Belgium and Germany were made with our technology. Also, the first villa in Dubai and the first buildings in Africa have been done by our 3D construction printers, like the first wind turbine bases. We have an open-source strategy, partnering with customers, academic institutions, and suppliers around the world. Our partners include GE (US), PERI (Germany), Cemex (Mexico), Holcim (Switzerland), Dar Al Arkan (Saudi Arabia), L&T Construction (India), and JGC (Japan). Our vision is to see buildings and concrete structures in every city around the world made by multifunctional construction robots.
