CircuCity

CircuCity is a circular e-commerce platform built to make sustainable consumption easier, more practical, and honestly, more appealing in everyday life. At its core, it is a marketplace where people can buy and sell second-hand items alongside new sustainable products, all within one ecosystem designed to extend product life cycles. But it’s not just about transactions. It’s about shifting habits. The problem we are addressing is rooted in the linear economy — the “take, make, dispose” model that still dominates global consumption patterns. Products are manufactured, purchased, used briefly, and discarded, often long before their functional life ends. This cycle drives resource depletion, carbon emissions, and growing waste streams. At the same time, consumers are becoming more aware of environmental challenges. Many want to make better choices, but the systems around them are fragmented and inconvenient. Second-hand markets exist, of course. But they are often scattered across multiple platforms, inconsistent in quality, and sometimes lacking trust. Sustainable alternatives, on the other hand, can be expensive or difficult to find. As a result, the intention to consume responsibly frequently clashes with convenience, price, and habit. People default to what is easiest — and that often means buying new, fast, and disposable. CircuCity bridges this gap. We provide a unified, user-friendly platform where circular choices are not an afterthought but the default. By integrating resale, reuse, and sustainable new products into one marketplace, we reduce friction in the decision-making process. Users can extend the life of items they no longer need, discover quality second-hand goods, and support more responsible brands — all in one place. Beyond functionality, we are building incentives into the system. Through mechanisms such as reward points, engagement challenges, and community features, CircuCity makes sustainable behavior visible and rewarding. The goal is not to lecture or guilt consumers into better habits. It is to design a system where circular consumption feels natural, economically sensible, and even motivating. Why does this matter? Because structural change requires behavioral change, and behavioral change requires better infrastructure. People cannot be expected to consistently choose sustainability if the systems around them prioritize speed and disposability. By making circular options more accessible, trustworthy, and engaging, we aim to shift consumption patterns at scale. CircuCity is not claiming to solve overconsumption overnight. But we believe that by extending product lifespans, reducing unnecessary waste, and empowering conscious consumers, we can contribute to a more regenerative economic model. In the long run, small individual decisions — when supported by the right platform — can accumulate into meaningful systemic impact. That is the space we operate in: practical sustainability, built into everyday commerce.

SHADES Underwear

SHADES Underwear is a purpose-driven startup redefining what “nude” means in fashion. We create underwear in an inclusive range of skin-tone shades and sizes, because the industry has long failed to represent the diversity of real bodies. Our mission is rooted in representation, empowerment, and belonging – building products and a brand that make people feel seen, respected, and comfortable in their own skin. We believe that underwear is not just a basic, but a powerful foundation for confidence and self-expression.

TUYO / Coffee. Cacao. Culture.

TUYO is a Denmark-based specialty coffee and fine cacao project rooted in long-term relationships with coffee- and cacao-growing communities in Ecuador, and inspired by Nordic values around creativity, innovation, and sustainability. We are building a regenerative business that prioritizes transparency, fair collaboration, and high-quality products, while questioning extractive models within global value chains. Our approach is relational and place-based, centered on people, landscapes, and craft rather than scale. TUYO is currently in an early build phase, finalizing its first pilot specialty coffee line and preparing for an initial public launch moment in late February. Coffee is the immediate focus; fine cacao is part of the broader product vision and will be developed in parallel at a later stage. We work as a small, hands-on team with close collaborators across sourcing, quality, and production, and we value clarity, reliability, and care in how we build both products and partnerships.

FIT for LIVET

FIT for LIVET is a health and lifestyle company working at the intersection of training, behavior change, and medically supported weight loss. We address a growing problem: many people struggle with their health and weight despite knowing what to do. For some, lifestyle changes alone are not enough. That’s why we combine structured training, motivation, and community with modern, medically approved treatments – always as part of a holistic and responsible approach. Our mission is to make health sustainable, realistic, and long-term. We believe medication can be a powerful support when used correctly, but real change happens when it is combined with movement, structure, and daily habits.

Sitedrive

Built by Builders for Builders - to tackle the productivity challenge in construction The Problem Construction productivity has been stuck for four decades. We believe this is because the process is broken. In other words, AI, robotics, or hammering faster won’t increase productivity until the underlying process is fixed. The Solution Our software helps construction companies move from theory to practice by teaching the essentials of production management and helping the sites move to industrialised construction. Unlike traditional project management, Sitedrive uses location-based schedules to control and optimize tasks, resources, logistics, finances, and site conditions. This creates a single source of truth for all stakeholders, ensuring everyone stays on the same page and improvements are made continuously.

Milva

Milva er en innovativ dansk techvirksomhed, der udvikler avancerede softwareløsninger til ressource-, miljø-, og materialekortlægning i byggebranchen. Vores mål er at hjælpe både private aktører og offentlige myndigheder med at effektivisere deres processer gennem præcis registrering, prøvetagning og afrapportering. Vores løsninger gør det nemt for kunderne at overholde lovgivning og bidrage til et bedre arbejdsmiljø. I Milva er vi ved at revolutionere måden, man dokumenterer materialer og eksisterende ejendomme på. Med vores software, Milva, har vi vendt hele processen på hovedet og omdanner en eksisterende bygning til en minedrift frem for den bunke affald, som det oftest opfattes i dag. I processen nedsætter vi tidsforbruget, standardiserer data og automatiserer afrapporteringen for lovpligtige processer. Den korte version er, at vi med vores digitale værktøj i hånden under en fysisk inspektion af huset kan finde ud af, præcist hvad det indeholder af materialer, miljørisiko og muligheder. En Milva-rapport bliver beriget med en masse ekstra data og udregninger, på baggrund af de informationer, som der er indsamlet på matriklen. Informationer som enten er lovpligtige, nødvendige eller snart bliver det. Det er mega smart, hvis vi selv skal sige det, at automatisere tidskrævende skrivebordsopgaver og standardisere dataformatet. Alle aktørerne i byggebranchen, de offentlige instanser og endda civilsamfundet har interesse i den data vi dagligt indsamler og behandler. Denne information kan vi bruge til at optimere logistiklinier, projektøkonomier, arbejdsmiljø, forsyningssikkerhed, affaldsstatistikker og meget, meget mere på sigt. Vi har fundet en lille niche som ingen andre udvikler digitalt, men som alle har interesse i. Nogle vil endda kalde det fundamentalt for udviklingen af fremtidens digitale byggeindustri. Men hvis vi skal være helt ærlige, så er det de økonomiske besparelser og effektiv compliance vores kunder oplever i dag, der er den primære årsag til væksten på vores SaaS. Det med cirkularitet og bæredygtighed har større potentiale i fremtiden. Et enormt potentiale!

The competitions is very low in this segment, despite the segment accounting for 22,8 million micro businesses in Europe. The potential is huge and we are seizing the opportunity! Our mission: We want to ensure financial inclusion and fairness by utilizing the new BaaS banking technology to create a unique product, tailored to micro businesses in Europe. What is Banking as a Service (BaaS)? BaaS is a model that allows non-bank businesses (like Monii) to offer financial services by integrating bank products through APIs. It enables companies to provide banking-like services without becoming a licensed bank.   How BaaS model works? BaaS allows non-banking businesses to offer financial services through licensed banks.
