At Levitate, we see ourselves as much more than just a prosthetics company—we are a movement dedicated to revolutionizing the way people live, move, and thrive. While many would label our products as prosthetics, we view them as groundbreaking tools that empower individuals to take control of their lives. Whether it’s running, playing sports, or simply enjoying an active lifestyle, we are on a mission to make mobility accessible to all, regardless of financial means or restrictive policies. Initially focused on the B2C market, Levitate is now expanding into B2B partnerships to increase our impact on a global scale. By collaborating with clinics, organizations, and healthcare systems, we are reshaping the world of prosthetics and providing advanced, affordable solutions to those in need. Our goal is to eliminate the cost and time barriers that often prevent individuals from accessing life-changing prosthetics. One of our proudest commitments is our work in Ukraine. In response to the devastating impact of war, we are providing prosthetic solutions to war victims—both veterans and civilians—offering them the chance to regain their mobility and independence. This initiative reflects our belief that everyone, no matter their circumstances, should have the opportunity to live an active and fulfilling life. Through cutting-edge technology and re-engineered processes, we have torn down the traditional barriers of cost and time. Our innovative approach makes it easy for anyone to obtain a high-performance sports prosthesis, empowering them to lead the life they want. Levitate is about more than products; we are about stories of transformation and the pursuit of dreams. Join us in our mission to make active living a choice, not a privilege.

Triton Depth is one of Europe's fastest-moving defence tech startups, building the acoustic intelligence layer for the seabed through hardware enabled software. Our nodes listen continuously to classify what moves through the water on-device. Divers, autonomous underwater vehicles, vessels behaving in ways they should not. They form a the tripwire, that warn operators in real time. The ocean is the last unmonitored domain. Ninety percent of global trade moves across it, and the cables, pipelines, and wind farms that Europe runs on sit in water nobody is listening to. Nord Stream. The Baltic cable cuts. Repeated incursions around critical infrastructure. The threats stopped being hypothetical a long time ago, and the cost of getting this wrong is not measured in euros. It is measured in cities that lose power, in naval crews who get no warning, in conflicts that escalate because nobody saw what was coming. Spun out of DTU. Backed by leading European defence and deep-tech investors. Working with navies, ports, and allied forces across the continent. The window for a small team to define this layer is open right now, and we are taking it. Join the mission.

Our story ChromaWay is a blockchain technology company. Since 2014, we have been developing and refining industry-defining blockchain technology platforms. Blockchain pioneers We created the first protocol for issuing tokens on the Bitcoin network. We used it to issue fiat currency together with LHV bank in 2014, and then to crowdfund startups on the Funderbeam platform. We designed a blockchain agnostic client-side validated smart contracting platform that put privacy first before privacy became a hot topic in blockchain. We have used it to support internal leasing in large organisations, issue financial instruments, and to allow government agencies to issue licenses digitally. In 2018 we used it to demo a live property sale together with the Swedish Land Registry. Technology by us We are the creators of relational blockchain, a new blockchain architecture which combines the power and flexibility of a relational database and the fault tolerant decentralised security of a blockchain. We built Postchain, a private blockchain or consortium database using the relational blockchain architecture. Postchain has registered property on three continents, accelerated the growth of green finance, and formed the basis for a proposed national e-currency. Relational blockchain also powers Chromia, our public platform for decentralized applications. Relational blockchain allows Chromia to offer a user and developer experience which no other blockchain platform can match.
