Only 2.7% of the healthcare budget is used on prevention, leaving individuals on their own to stay healthy. Individuals might feel healthy, but most are not and completely unaware of it. For example: - 34% have too high cholesterol. - 14% have (pre-)diabetes, >25% unaware of it. - 29% have high stress levels. Poor health of individuals significantly costs employers and insurers in terms of sick days, lost productivity, and claims - all of which are largely preventable. To bridge this gap of an unhealthy population, Zack provides businesses and their employees access to comprehensive health checks - testing for more than any standard ones. Designed to deliver personalized, actionable health insights, backed by science, empowering everyone to make informed decisions about their health. We are combining advanced lab testing with 'digital twin' technology and 'behavioral science' to really improve employee health. Becoming the front door to preventive care and changing the way employers take care of their employees!

Steerpath is a Finnish startup solving global challenge of optimising benefits of hybrid working for both employee and the company. Our hybrid workplace application helps employees & companies get maximum out of multi-location working. We have built a mobile app where employees can easily see when to visit the office or stay remote based on their favourite colleague work plans and available capacity of meeting rooms, it can guide you around a space if you are new to the space via indoor maps, and much more. For managers we provide analytics of what spaces are being used, so they can develop their spaces in an optimal way. We have also developed an internal venture under a different brand called Spacehub, which are small pods you can book for working in shopping centres and similar. Customers are typically larger companies from 1000+ employees, with majority Headquartered in Finland, but we also have customers in the UK and US. In the future we will be focusing on the Nordic market, because in the Nordic culture there is trend to focus more on employee satisfaction. Our solution is already used by some of the largest and most well known brands in the Nordics, such as Finlands largest commercial TV broadcaster MTV. Steerpath was founded in 2013 by Mikko, Tuomas and Sam, all sharing a long history with several decades of experience in all aspects of product development, Bluetooth and other wireless technologies. Our team has since grown to now 15 people of different background and nationalities. Our office is in Alberga Business Park next to Sello in Leppävaara, easy to reach with public transport (15 minutes from city centre), and we have a very nice setup with a small living room in the middle. We have been able to bring together different strengths to deliver a solution our customers love and we are very excited to bare witness to some of the innovations that have already come out from the collaboration. We are a very friendly group who enjoy hanging out and do things together, we also have small events, board games nights, summer party and more. We have a start-up environment in our small team, and support a hybrid work model with the flexibility to work partially remote. We do recommend people to come to the office at least 2 days per week, as you will work closely with other members of the company, and this is the best way to get to know your colleagues. The rest of the team prefer coming in most days, and we even have colleagues stopping by during their holidays to say hi to the team, borrow tools, and other things, and that really says it all.

Lolo Company is a start-up headquartered in Stockholm, but with a remote-first workplace with team members collaborating across 5-6 countries depending on everyone's current locations. Our team is like the Avengers, we came together when the world needed us and beyond our superpowers, we are a wonderful assembly of misfits and rebels in tech that think differently about how tech should evolve. Lolo is all about serverless compute and networkless connectivity. Lolo Code allows developers to visual build and deploy highly scalable apps to any cloud, edge or on prem because developer complexity is at an all time high, the cloud doesn't scale in terms of costs and data residency is and should be a thing. Lolo Unify is a programmable virtual private cloud that overlays any IP network and provides a single API for fine grained control of devices, network and connected experience. Our aim is to make developers more productive and bring back the joy into coding. And also make that hassle that is the network part of the visually built and deployed compute experience. We are deep tech, solving hard problems and whilst we take the problems and our customers we solve super seriously, we take ourselves much less seriously.

Mutonic is an IT procurement platform for the B2B market, with an ambition of making the process of buying IT- hardware and -software more convenient for companies of all sizes both in the private and public sector. We do this by gathering the entire network of vendors, distributors, and resellers on a one-stop platform, giving the companies full access to a large stock and competitive prices. The idea behind Mutonic came from discovering that many companies did not have the resources available in order to always make sure they got the best prices and delivery terms when purchasing products within the IT category. Through the Mutonic platform we offer them access to a large network of suppliers as well as many user-friendly features, that ultimately can save them both time and money, all while offering a fair market chance for the suppliers connected to the platform. We work every day to ensure our users of the platform can make a qualified decision that match their needs, when purchasing IT Hardware and Software.

We are HEMBOO: an early stage start-up with the vision of making low emissions, renewable materials the norm in construction. Besides fossil fuels, the production of concrete is the worst emitter of CO2 in the world. However it is the most used material within the construction sector. But not for long: climate legislation is about to make concrete a whole lot more expensive, by introducing a CO2 TAX. This leaves the construction companies with a problem as there is no valid sustainable alternative they can use. HEMBOO offers an easy solution: prefabricated walls for new construction made of hemp and bamboo with a reduction of 80% CO2 emitted compared to the traditionally used concrete walls. BUT the construction industry is very conservative and risk-averse. Therefore getting to market is a long journey. We built our first prototype are now preparing for the second one and are gathering data on the needs of our customers. Our aim is to provide a solution similar enough in prefabrication and installation methods, to make the transition from concrete fast and easy. Our element is designed for large scaled production so that we can have the largest impact. Recently we have received a total of 520.000 dkk in soft funding for product development and are participating in multiple startup support programs so it is full speed ahead! The team behind it all: We are a diverse team of three, Elsa Maria Iuliano, Helena Brandt Rejndrup and Michael Hallam. Helena and Elsa graduated as architectural engineers from DTU while Michael is finishing up his studies in design and entrepreneurship. We started HEMBOO because we are all very passionate about making an environmental impact. As a team we have a lot fun together, while still being productive. We emphasize a friendly environment where we help each other even though everyone has individual responsibilities. Currently looking to expand and we want you to be a part of it! Reach out if you are interested in getting on board. We are particularly interested in commercial, communication and financial competencies. Based in our joint office spaces in the center of Copenhagen and at CBS in Frederiksberg. And yes they do they do have Friday bars :-) Feel free to contact us with any questions!
