✅ 1: Short description (the pitch) SGC Arena is developing a combined TCG retail store, gaming lounge and community-driven event center to help youth, families and adult gamers find a safe, engaging and social space to play, compete and belong. We solve the lack of modern, inclusive gaming- and hobby environments by offering a 655 m² hybrid hub built around TCG, esport, community events and structured activities, powered by strong partnerships, low inventory risk and a highly scalable franchise-ready model. ✅ 2: The What – The problem we are solving Across Denmark, young people and adult hobby enthusiasts lack safe, structured and inspiring spaces to gather around gaming, TCG and shared interests. Most environments are either too small, too informal or lacking supervision, creating a gap between commercial gaming cafés and traditional youth facilities. At the same time, parents struggle to find positive, healthy gaming communities for their children, while hobby players (Pokémon, Magic, Lorcana) lack dedicated spaces for trading, events and tournaments. This problem affects: Children and teens seeking social belonging Adults looking for hobby communities Parents who want structured and safe gaming spaces TCG players who currently lack large-scale physical hubs Municipalities who need modern, engaging offers for youth Retail customers who want combined experiences, not just shops The demand is widespread and growing. TCG, gaming and event-based hobby retail are among the fastest-growing entertainment segments in Europe. Yet Denmark remains underserved with almost no large-scale hybrid centers combining retail, gaming, community and structured activities. SGC Arena fills this gap. ✅ 3: The How – How we solve it SGC Arena provides a 655 m² multi-zone environment combining: A full-service TCG retail store (Pokémon, Magic, Lorcana etc.) A high-end gaming lounge with esport setups A large event area for tournaments, competitions and community gatherings A social “hobby lounge” for trading, crafting and relaxed gaming A forening-driven model with daily structured activities Weekend programs with 500–1.000 visitors Consignationsaftaler reducing inventory risk dramatically A scalable operations manual and franchise blueprint for expansion to 3–8 locations Each weekday features structured activities through our association: Esport teams (20 participants daily) Hobby/TCG clubs (up to 40 per session) Weekends host large-scale TCG events, family activities, adult gaming evenings and trading meetups — creating predictable, high-volume traffic. The concept is built to scale: simple operational procedures, strong supplier partnerships, low-risk inventory, and a community-first structure that can be replicated nationally. ✅ 4: The Why – Our motivation SGC Arena is founded by Heinrich Dam Jensen, former owner of the esports organization Dream Gaming in Rødovre Centrum, where he built a strong and healthy gaming community in 2020. When COVID forced that project to close, it sparked a deep understanding of what young people and hobby-focused adults truly need: a safe, structured, social and modern environment that supports healthy gaming behavior and real-world connections. The vision has grown stronger since. Heinrich has a background in police, defence, leadership and youth work, and has seen firsthand how powerful gaming and structured hobbies can be when given the right environment. This is the foundation of SGC Arena: creating Denmark’s leading chain of gaming- and TCG-based community hubs. The motivation is simple: to give youth, families and adult hobbyists a place to belong — and to build a scalable, commercially strong concept that brings community and business together.

Unioo is building a digital compliance and board management platform to help financial institutions and voluntary associations handle complex regulatory reporting—simply, securely, and without friction. 1. What problem are we solving? Associations in Europe are required by law to submit complex KYC and AML documentation to their financial institutions. This process is often confusing, paper-based, and time-consuming—especially for small, volunteer-run associations. At the same time, banks are struggling to comply with increasingly strict regulations without overloading internal teams or alienating nonprofit customers. 2. How are we solving it? Unioo provides a secure, plug-and-play digital platform where associations can easily complete their mandatory bank reporting. At the same time, they gain access to a suite of free digital board tools—meeting management, task tracking, file sharing and more. Banks receive fully compliant data packages with no internal resource strain. Associations stay compliant while benefiting from better tools for managing their boards. 3. Why are we doing this? We started Unioo as volunteers ourselves. We saw how much time was wasted on outdated processes, and how legal changes (like AML) were turning volunteer work into a bureaucratic burden. Then we realized: we could help both associations and banks by offering one unified solution—tailored for the unique needs of volunteer boards and aligned with financial institutions' regulatory requirements. 4. Why join us? We’re a fast-growing Danish startup backed by strong investors, trusted by 25+ financial institutions, and used by thousands of associations. Our team is small but ambitious—and deeply motivated by the impact we make. If you’re excited about simplifying bureaucracy, building elegant solutions, and empowering civil society, we’d love to meet you.

NitroVolt is decarbonizing nitrogen-based fertilizer production and making the agricultural sector more resilient with a novel production process. Commercial ammonia production supports 40-50% of the agricultural industry as a nitrogen-based fertilizer. But current ammonia production is not sustainable, releasing over 1% of global greenhouse gas emissions during production facilities and further emissions during transportation to the end user, farmers. NitroVolt offers a local ammonia production solution that gives farmers the ability to produce their own nitrogen-based fertilizer. The only inputs required by NitroVolt’s container-sized systems are air, water, and electricity, enabling production of sustainable ammonia directly at farms. NitroVolt’s patented electrochemical Nitrolyzer unit can make ammonia on-demand with intermittent renewable energy sources. With their technology, NitroVolt aims to decarbonize nitrogen-based fertilizer production one farm at a time, cut the logistic costs of distributing fertilizer, and make the agricultural sector more resilient to external factors.

With a R2N-booking, you have exactly the same freedom to choose what you want on the menu.

In Denmark, we trust each other. Even people we don't know. That's how our everyday life is built. Our country's economy. Our welfare society. And it's one of the finest things our small country has to offer. But that trust is also what can affect us online. Digital development is constantly changing pace and form, making it even harder to know who we can trust and when we're being scammed. Because online, we are constantly at risk of being led astray - either by ourselves overlooking the best price, or by fake webshops stealing our money or, in the worst case, our identity. That's not fair. But we understand that it can be hard to figure out. And that it can be confusing to find your way around the internet's vast shopping center. In fact, it can even be difficult to figure out how to make the best purchase online. Even if you're a discount hunter. We don't think that's the right way to spend your time and energy. What are we fighting for? That's why here at Molly we strive to make online shopping better. We do this by giving you the overview that makes it easier for you to make the right choice. We're an almost invisible shopping assistant that lives in your browser. While you shop, we scan the web and ask all the important questions: Can you get a discount? Is the item cheaper on another site? What do the reviews say? And we give you the answers in a tiny label on the right-hand side of your browser. All for free. Easy, right? Transparency Our goal is to help you by creating more transparency in online shopping. We believe this should be a standard because it puts the consumer in a better position. But it isn't. Yet. For us, transparency means removing the noise before, during and after your purchase, so you have more than just your gut feeling to go by. We can do this because we keep an eye on the internet, because as part of our invisible community you help others when you use Molly, and because we're constantly working to get even better at helping you when you shop. With Molly by your side, you'll automatically get tips that can save you time and money. We'll never tell you what to do - that's entirely up to you. But we promise you'll be surprised by what your invisible ally can do for you. How was Molly born? The Molly app was founded in the fall of 2021 by three passionate entrepreneurs: Mads, Peter and Simon. We share a common interest in helping consumers save money and improve their online shopping experience. With our different backgrounds and expertise, we have together created an app that has made it easy for users to find the best prices, discount codes and product reviews across different online shopping platforms. Danish entrepreneurship 🇩🇰 Based in Denmark, the Molly app helps more than 325000 Danish consumers save money and have better online shopping experiences. As a proud representative of Danish entrepreneurship, we continue to improve and develop the Molly platform and our dedication and expertise has made Molly a very popular app among consumers where more than 8000 users have rated the app with an average rating of 4.9/5.0.
