At Innovation Roundtable, our focus is on helping large multinational companies navigate one of their biggest challenges: innovating in complex, fast-changing environments. While most corporates understand the need to innovate, a lack of cross-functional collaboration, and difficulty translating new ideas into real business impact. We bring senior executives together across industries and geographies to share experiences, learn from each other, and explore practical approaches to innovation, digital transformation, and organizational change. By creating a trusted, peer-to-peer network through our Summits, workshops, and online community, we solve the problem of isolation and limited perspective that innovation leaders often face in their own companies. Our mission is simple: to make innovation in large firms less of a struggle and more of a shared journey, supported by learning, collaboration, and real-world insights.

ODDfest is Finland’s next-generation creative festival—think Slush meets Flow Festival. It unites art, business, and future thinking into one event, creating a space where creative professionals, industry leaders, and cultural innovators collide. The Problem We’re Solving: Finland’s creative and cultural industries are vibrant but fragmented. Artists, entrepreneurs, and innovators often work in silos, lacking platforms that connect them with each other, with audiences, and with opportunities for growth. Meanwhile, the cultural spaces that do exist are often either purely entertainment-driven or purely professional—rarely both. Our Solution: We bring the worlds of creativity, business, and culture under one roof—both figuratively and literally. We create spaces, online and offline, where new ideas can be born, collaborations can spark, and culture can evolve. Why We’re Doing It: We believe that creativity is a driver of societal change and economic growth. By making Finland a hub for next-generation creative culture, we’re putting it on the global cultural map—and creating a movement that inspires, elevates, and unites people from all walks of life.

BuddyUp Social is a social discovery platform helping adults in Denmark—especially expats and newcomers—find meaningful connections through shared interests and real-life events. We’re solving the problem of adult social isolation by making it easy to create, join, and engage in hobby-based meetups, all through one intuitive app. Making friends as an adult can be surprisingly difficult. Whether you're a Dane moving to a new city or an expat starting fresh in Denmark, it’s common to feel socially disconnected. Many adults don’t know where to start when it comes to meeting new people outside of work, dating apps, or closed social circles. This problem is widespread and well-documented—especially in Denmark, where surveys consistently show that many internationals struggle with social integration, and even locals describe it as awkward to make new friends past a certain age. We’re tackling this head-on by making socializing more accessible, interest-based, and low-pressure. BuddyUp Social is designed to break down the barriers of adult friendship and create opportunities for spontaneous, real-world connection. Whether it’s joining a hike, hosting a board game night, attending a ceramics class, or finding a casual pub quiz crew, BuddyUp is all about connecting people who are "up for it"—with no pressure, no awkward messaging phase, and no algorithms getting in the way. Unlike traditional social platforms focused on digital interaction, BuddyUp is built around real-life meetups. Users can explore and join events happening near them, or create their own. Events can be public or invite-only, recurring or one-off, and are always centered around shared hobbies or interests. The app also welcomes collaborations with local businesses, allowing them to showcase open community events, bringing even more variety and accessibility to users. We’re launching in Denmark first—starting with Copenhagen and Aarhus—before expanding to similar cities across Europe. The idea behind BuddyUp was born from personal experience. As someone who returned to Denmark after years abroad, and with friends struggling to meet people after relocating, it became clear how socially challenging adulthood can be. We kept hearing the same story: “I’d love to meet new people, but I just don’t know how or where.” Instead of settling for outdated forums, clunky Facebook groups, or apps not designed for platonic connection, we decided to build a better solution ourselves. BuddyUp is more than an app—it’s a movement to make adult friendship and community-building normal, easy, and enjoyable again. We’re passionate about creating a product that helps people feel less alone and more empowered to take the first step toward new friendships. We believe that real-life connections are essential for personal happiness and social wellbeing—and we’re here to make those moments happen.

Andsend is developing an AI-powered relationship management platform to help consultants, small business owners, and sales professionals build authentic business connections that convert to results, with intelligent conversation guidance. WHAT PROBLEM ARE WE SOLVING? We're addressing the gap between traditional CRMs and communication tools. Professionals who depend on relationship-building know strong connections are crucial, yet follow-ups slip through cracks, outreach becomes reactive, and they struggle to prioritize effectively. This affects three key groups: * Independent consultants and small agency owners whose client work leaves little time for nurturing their business pipeline * Relationship-focused sales professionals whose CRMs track deals but don't guide strategic communication * Senior consultants with business development responsibilities who need to balance client value with relationship cultivation Current alternatives (sales automation, email tools, contact managers, and complex CRMs) fail to provide intelligent assistance for purposeful relationship-building. HOW ARE WE SOLVING IT? Andsend offers a relationship intelligence platform built on a powerful premise: a tool that understands your goals and guides interactions toward achieving them. Our solution provides: * AI-Powered Contact Prioritization: Identifying who needs attention now based on goals and opportunities * Strategy-Driven "Playbooks": Strategic plans that guide conversations toward specific relationship objectives * Authentic Message Assistance: Communication help that sounds like you, tailored to relationship context * Smart Follow-Up System: Ensuring critical follow-ups maintain momentum with optimal timing Technically, we integrate with LinkedIn and email via Chrome extension and APIs, creating a unified conversation view that eliminates platform-switching. WHAT MOTIVATED US? Our founders experienced this problem as consultants, agency owners, and sales leaders. We saw how fragmented tools cost professionals up to 40% of their relationship management capacity through platform-switching alone. We believe business is built on relationships - not just transactions. Andsend transforms how professionals manage their most valuable asset with AI that enhances human connection rather than replacing it.

We’re solving a major problem in the trading world: Most traders don’t fail due to poor strategy, they fail due to a lack of discipline, emotional control, and self-analysis. Our platform collects and analyzes trading data, emotional patterns, and behavioral decisions to deliver AI-generated insights in real-time. Through interactive widgets, structured checklists, and psychological feedback, Affluency becomes a daily companion that helps users grow, not only as traders, but as individuals.

Millions of traders are entering the market, yet most platforms still focus only on technical features, ignoring the psychological and behavioral aspects that truly define long-term success. At the same time, the fintech ecosystem is rapidly evolving, and users now expect intelligent, real-time support that adapts to their unique trading behavior and emotional patterns. Affluency is at the intersection of these trends. By launching now, we meet a growing demand for tools that go beyond charts and indicators, tools that help traders master their discipline, emotions, and strategic decision-making through AI-driven insights and personal development. We’re not just riding a wave, we’re shaping the next generation of trading platforms.

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.

Our platform is secure, intuitive, and designed to integrate seamlessly into users' workflows. We started Good Tape because we saw how much time and effort professionals waste on transcription. We knew AI could do better—without sacrificing security or control. Our goal is to make transcription effortless so people can focus on what matters: their work.
