Enterspeed accelerates digital transformation by minimising complexity. Our data orchestration technology seamlessly bridges new and legacy systems, unlocking speed, agility, and scalability without the risk of costly overhauls. We connect the dots between legacy and modern systems, GenAI and data-driven operations, and scalability and cost efficiency – allowing enterprises to focus on what matters: innovation and growth. We’re not just another integration tool. We provide the technology that ensures businesses can speed up innovation, reduce complexity, simplify and enrich their data flow – all while reducing cost. Great data source orchestration is the foundation of a flexible, high-performance digital infrastructure. We’ve built an intelligent orchestration technology that seamlessly connect and optimise data across systems. Whether referred to as a Data Orchestration Layer, Digital Experience Orchestration, Content Federation, Digital Integration Hub or BFF (Backend for Frontend) – the purpose remains the same: to unify, transform, and accelerate data delivery for faster, highly relevant, and more scalable digital experiences. We enrich and structure your data delivery – and break down silos to ensure a single source of truth for GenAI and digital operations. We decouple and abstract systems – by eliminating dependencies on rigid architectures and providing full flexibility. We optimise for GenAI – by delivering lean, structured, and real-time data to any model. We reduce costs and complexity – ensuring lower operational costs by minimising maintenance, infrastructure overhead, and development effort. And above all… we empower digital teams – with a simple, API-driven approach that enhances speed, scalability, and ease of integration. We're based in Aarhus but are remote friendly. Several of our employees work from home on most days. But we still prioritise to meet online every morning and nurse a great team spirit.

We are a legal tech start-up that helps professionals solve legal issues through visual analysis. Imagine a whiteboard that can solve legal issues. To elaborate on this, we have created a SaaS tool where legal professionals can collaborate, analyze, and draft legal reports. Currently, we provide four different services within our three pillars of value: 1) Easy access to data 2) Automated assistance (red-flagging) 3) Document Automation We a solving a growing demand within the legal sector to work more effectively. Clients are pushing for capped or fixed fees, which has lead the industry to look for smart ways to work more efficiently. Further, the legal sector has a quite low technology adoption rate. We want to help the industry work more efficiently through a great and intuitive UX and through genuine value creation. Our end goal and mission is to go beyond the value creation for lawyers and accountants and also create real value for small and medium-sized businesses. This we aim to accomplish through an AI Lawyer. However, there is probably a really long time before this is a reality. The AI lawyer should work on top of the existing platform that we already have created and the red-flagging functionality build into the system. We have built an algorithm for finding and recognizing patterns on the "whiteboard". Thus, if we through NLP and deep learning are able to create graph data structures through text analysis, we can generate red flags from legal texts. This is our goal: helping advisers and clients with software created with a strong industry insight.

FOROS is a green investment platform that makes forest management and investing simple and accessible for everyone. Our key features are: sustainable forest management and secure cross-border investing. Forestry is a dinosaur industry that we aim to disrupt.

Foros opens up opportunities for much wider groups of people to benefit from owning forests. People will be able to invest in forests at ease, entrusting forest management to our experienced forestry professionals who will take good care of forests and manage them sustainably.

To date we have handled €24m in forest land transactions. This shows that there is a dire need for a digital, modern solution for existing forest owners.

Currently there is no service that would provide a verified, universal digital business user ID in the B2B sector. Existing solutions are service provider specific custom-made, proprietary and limited in scope. The lack of widely-accepted digital business identification causes lack of trust, delays in establishing business relations online and unnecessary transaction and upkeep costs. The market has focused on organization workforce and consumer Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions. Digitalization created the need for trusted Business Partner user management solutions providing identification and access management services online. Extending the globally unique Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) enables the introduction of a new trusted B2B customer identity service, Vorna ID. Vorna ID provides a standards-based interface for signing into partner web services, providing user's association to legal entities and the access for that partner web service. Organization information (LEI) can be linked to the registered Business Partner information (eg. Sold-to Number) in the CRM and ERP systems, enables further business process automatization. Vorna ID provides globally unique and verified corporate customer identification. The service consists of three products for the online service provider, that can be activated separately or together. These are: 1) Verified Partner - increases the conversion rate in online services due to verified Legal Entity Identity (LEI) data and user identities. Reliable corporate data significantly streamlines the on-boarding process of Business Partners for service providers. 2) Rights Management - Lowers the cost of Business Partner user management by enabling self-service access management for digital services. The use of Service Contracts in the Vorna ID service enables controlled use of digital services within the business ecosystem and supply chain. 3) Partner Login - Business Partner users can use their federated organizational identity e.g. Azure AD for multi-factor authentication. This enables signing of business transactions and increased access to confidential customer information. User organizations which enroll and are verified into the Vorna ID service will be required to pay a registration fee, by the organization or by the service provider.
