GLYON

GLYON is developing a CO₂-powered textile-to-textile recycling technology to help brands, fiber producers, and recyclers solve the growing textile waste crisis with a breakthrough chemical recycling process that turns waste into virgin-quality raw materials for new fibers—without fossil fuels. We address the massive problem of textile waste, a global crisis where over 92 million tonnes of textile waste are discarded each year—most of it ending up in landfills or incinerated. This contributes to major pollution issues but also forces the textile industry to continue its dependence on virgin fossil-based materials. Our solution targets fiber producers, brands, and recyclers who need circular raw material solutions. Our CO₂-based chemical recycling process breaks down polyester textiles into building blocks and leaves other fibers like cotton intact. Both PET building blocks and cotton can be used to produce new, high-quality fibers without the need for virgin oil and reducing water consumption and CO₂ emissions.

Unioo

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 We saw how much time was wasted on outdated processes, and how legal changes (like AML) were turning volunteer work into a bureaucratic burden.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.

Nordic Bio-Graphite

Nordic Bio-Graphite aims to transform industries toward a net-zero future by supplying CO2 negative graphite. Graphite is the largest component in EV batteries and a critical material for green steel production. However, traditional production methods emit up to 20 kg of CO2 per kg of graphite and consumes significant energy. Leveraging two patent-pending innovations developed by leading materials scientists at KTH Sweden, we have developed the first solution to produce fossil-free graphite from bio-based materials at scale. This unique process enables us to produce green graphite at a cost close to fossil based graphite, while significantly reducing emissions and boosting energy efficiency. Within four years, NBG aims to prevent over 150,000 tonss of CO2 emissions annually.
