Transparently NorwegianWe carefully select guaranteed Norwegian products, ship them via our own "digital highway of trust" to ourselves (in China) and sell them directly to end-users in the world (starting with China) through our own e-Commerce platform (and soon in our own retail stores). We are in business, we control the whole value chain, we do it differently and our concept can't be copied by big American tech or food companies.

Who are we? Harmoniq audio is a tech start-up, founded in Dec 2018. Our goal is to innovate the way speakers are produced, used and recycled. We started this journey with a focus on the development of new, sustainable alternatives to speaker components, including insulation and cabinets. At Harmoniq audio we are mainly working remotely, but we have a production facility 175m2 in Randers we are trying to setup with PNP machine and CNC machine, etc. Harmoniq audio was originally founded by Lasse Hald Andersen and Troels Mikkelsen. Lasse and Troels have known each other since kindergarten and their passion for making speakers started, like many others, with building speakers for the camp at Roskilde Festival and later for friends who needed to use festival speakers for their own camps. Since then, Lasse contiuned the journey and has been educated as an electronics technologist and prof. Bachelor in innovation and entrepreneurship, and are now running the startup, while having a full time job on the side. The interest in speaker production has led to an insight into the speaker industry, which has formed one of Harmoniq audio's central goals: to develop sustainable speakers while creating as good Hi-Fi as possible.

Project Iceman is an ambitious project that sets out to prove that #limitationsareonlyperceptions by setting up the first ever, World Record breaking Ironman distance triathlon in Antarctica, the Iceman. The Iceman is the first in a series of events that will put focus on mental health. The project was officially initiated in June 2018 and is the first step of establishing The Iceman Foundation, an organization that will establish and promote 'Mental Empowerment' for all.  We’re a tightly knitted group of people with a clear philosophy of life: Limitations are only perceptions. This is evident in everything we do and how we work. That means we go with what we find interesting and valuable to our cause. If it’s cool, fun, and worthwhile, we spend time testing and potentially going with it. We believe we can do whatever we set our minds to, which is why we’re always up for trying out an idea - no matter how ‘crazy’ it is.In practice this is carried out in close collaboration with one another. Everyone who wants to contribute are inviter to take part, but we each take responsibility of the things we find most interesting. It’s a wealth of freedom but it also requires courage, discipline, and a positive attitude.We’re a sporty group and like to stay active. Whether you’re into bikini, running, swimming, fitness, football, badminton, squash, paddle tennis, or any other sport, we’re happy to go and have fun with it together. This doesn’t exclude us from having the celebratory beer once in a while when we achieve some of our milestones - even though many think completing an Ironman requires a 100% clean diet and full focus on training (which is not necessarily the case, we eat homemade pizza and watch movies every Sunday everning!). We’re open, free, happy and positive. We encourage creativity and allow ourselves to do what we find most interesting.

Openrecruit er en rekrutteringsplatform. Med vores platform kan du tiltrække kandidater naturligt gennem moderne jobinvitationer og en karriereside, der fortæller hvem I er, ikke kun hvad I søger. Den gamle måde kender vi alle. Lukket rekruttering med CV’er, ansøgninger, ventetid og gætteri. Ansøgning. Det er tungt, langsomt og ofte uretfærdigt, for både kandidater og organisationer. Åben rekruttering vælger en anden vej. Her starter vi med en jobinvitation, hvor alle kan vise interesse. Kandidaten introducerer sig selv gennem et kort, digitalt interview. Der gives feedback, så ingen står i stilhed. Og matchningen sker på kompetencer og potentiale, ikke baggrund, titel eller netværk. Det er hurtigere. Det er mere menneskeligt. Og det er mere retfærdigt. For når vi ændrer måden, vi møder mennesker på, ændrer vi alt.

Infrastructure owners make decisions every day about what to inspect, maintain and replace. But for assets spread across large areas, such as streetlights and cable cabinets, getting an up-to-date picture of their condition is difficult and expensive. Existing records can tell you where an asset is and how old it is. They often tell you much less about how it is actually doing. RabbIT Data helps close that gap. We turn the collection of visual condition data into guided, engaging campaigns. Through our web app, RabbIT Catch, participants find nearby assets, follow simple assessment steps and submit observations and photos. Points, challenges and small prizes give people a reason to join in and keep going. Think Pokémon Go for infrastructure, with a practical purpose. Behind the app, we validate and review observations and connect them with the owner’s existing asset data. This helps owners see patterns across their portfolio, identify assets that warrant closer attention and build a better basis for maintenance and investment decisions. Our first applications are streetlighting and electricity infrastructure. In an eight-week campaign with Skanderborg Municipality, municipal employees collected more than 4,000 registrations. The municipality has signed a three-year agreement and purchased a second campaign. Our founders bring experience from the energy sector, asset management and leadership. We have seen how much depends on decisions made with incomplete information, and how difficult it can be to collect useful condition data at scale. We believe people moving through an area every day can help make infrastructure more visible to those responsible for it. Our role is to make that contribution structured, useful and traceable. These observations complement professional inspections and help owners decide where specialist attention is needed. Today, our focus is on data collection, quality assurance and portfolio insights. Longer term, our ambition is to use the growing evidence base to support benchmarking and predictive models, helping infrastructure owners understand how assets deteriorate and plan further ahead. We are building RabbIT to help owners direct limited resources where they can make the greatest difference: keeping infrastructure safe, extending asset life and avoiding unnecessary replacement.

Tendro is the operating system for change management in complex projects. Our platform consolidates contractual changes, communication, documentation, approvals, and decision-making into a single environment where all project stakeholders work together from the same data. Every change is captured, every decision is documented, and every interaction is automatically traceable. By replacing fragmented workflows and disconnected tools with a single source of truth, Tendro removes information silos and gives project teams complete visibility across the change process. This reduces administrative overhead, minimizes disputes, accelerates decision-making, and protects contractual value throughout the project lifecycle. The result is faster decisions, less administration, better collaboration, reduced risk, and stronger project profitability. In short, Tendro enables organizations to manage complex contracts with the simplicity and control they have been missing.
