At KiteX, we're revolutionising energy with innovative wind turbines inspired by kites. Our mission? To make wind turbines that use significantly less material, offering a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to traditional turbines. Our journey began by envisioning wind turbines that combine the efficiency of kites and autonomy of drones. On this path we found an hybrid design with guy wire supported tower and blades could achieve almost the same material savings, but without any of the disadvantages. Our unique approach centres on patience, refining technology step by step, and focusing on sustainable solutions. We're scaling up production of the groundbreaking Wind Catcher, a portable off-grid turbine, while designing a larger, grid-connected successor. As we grow, we're seeking exceptional team members in marketing, customer support, technical, and electrical engineering. KiteX isn't just a workplace; it's an opportunity to drive clean energy and make history. Join us in shaping a sustainable future. Contact us through the hub or at info@kitex.tech to be part of something extraordinary.

Our mission is to create a contraceptive technology that renders hormonal birth control obsolete. We are addressing the millions of women that are demanding non-hormonal products with fewer side-effects to manage their fertility. Today, nearly 60 years after the first oral contraceptive pill was sold, most prescription birth control methods are variations on the same synthetic hormones. In collaboration with the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden, we have developed a technology that reinforces the natural barrier properties of cervical mucus. The principle of the technology is to use topically-applied biopolymers to make cervical mucus impenetrable to sperm cells throughout the menstrual cycle. Our approach enables a potentially groundbreaking product that protects within a minute and for extended periods without the systemic side-effects known from hormonal contraceptives. In 2019 we raised $1.8M for pre-clinical development. Today we are incubated at the BioInnovation Institute, conveniently located in central Copenhagen, with access to state-of-the-art labs.

ABOUT FBSTATS & THE PROBLEM WE SOLVE fbstats is a Swedish sport-tech startup aiming to revolutionize how floorball is analyzed, understood, and developed. Floorball is a massive sport, but when it comes to automated match statistics and deep video analysis, it is lagging far behind. Existing solutions on the market are either built for completely different sports or require expensive, fixed arena camera installations that are financially out of reach for the majority of clubs. This leaves coaches and managers at most levels with two bad options: guessing, or spending countless hours on manual, analog tagging of video files after games. It’s inefficient, expensive, and not scalable. We are changing that. WHERE ARE WE TODAY? We are in an extremely exciting early startup phase where the market need is clearly validated. Through our founders roots in the floorball community, we have unique insights into the actual everyday problems and needs of coaches. We are moving fast. We already have a strong, concrete interest from pilot teams who are ready to test the platform. We are currently incorporating the company (Aktiebolag) and have secured the initial funding. Most importantly: our AI engine is already proving itself, accurately tracking players and equipment in early test footage.

Describe the customer you want in plain language, for example "profitable manufacturers in Skåne over 10 million", and AngelEQ resolves it against the register and returns an export-ready list. It also carries every visiting address in Sweden: 1.4 million workplaces including every branch, refreshed monthly from the official register. Built in Ängelholm by ProToSell AB. EU-hosted, GDPR-first.

normify is an engineering-documentation technology company modernizing how technical documents are checked and maintained — "docs-as-code" for engineering. Its graph-based compliance engine checks technical deliverables against the norms and project requirements they must comply with — clause by clause, with every finding cited back to its exact source, in minutes instead of days of manual review. Instead of an engineer cross-checking a document against a standard with a highlighter, normify returns every non-conformance with a traceable audit trail for QA and client review. The graph-based method — not a raw LLM wrapper — is what lets normify reach 96.1% labelled recall across 10+ standards. It is norm-agnostic (customers bring the standards and requirements their projects are bound to), portable across LLM providers, and available self-hosted so sensitive engineering data never leaves the customer's environment. normify is extending from compliance checking into version-aware change intelligence — tracking what changed between document revisions and whether it still complies. Target users: discipline leads, technical authorities, QA/QC and document-control teams at operators, EPCs, and engineering consultancies.

Our Mission We are on a mission: Every year, millions of tons of coffee fruit waste (cascara) are discarded during coffee production, creating significant environmental challenges. We salvage this nutrient-rich, naturally caffeinated super-ingredient to craft premium, organic, non-alcoholic sparkling drinks. By prioritizing a circular economy and working directly with the upcycling of waste products, we don’t just create a delicious alternative for the conscious consumer - we also help reduce environmental impact and create an additional revenue stream for coffee farmers. How We Work We import cascara directly from the farmers and partner with expert subcontractors for our organic brewing, production, and storage, allowing our core team to remain agile, creative, and completely focused on scaling our market presence. At the outset we focus on local hipster/organic cafés, restaurant and bars in the HORECA segment preparing for broader retail when the market is ready. Why Join Us? We are a small, ambitious, and passionate team of founders, innovators, and specialty coffee enthusiasts. As a startup, we value creative freedom, and believe in true ownership. Joining us you will be a foundational part of our journey, with the opportunity to shape our sales strategy, brand culture, and future growth. If you are driven by sustainability, love building authentic relationships, and want to help turn a circular business model into a household name, we’d love to have you on board.

S core Nordic is developing the next generation of hardware and software (the infrastructure layer) to help city planners and parking operators bridge the urban data gap and optimize spaces, using 100% GDPR-compliant radar technology and open APIs. The Problem Cities are building advanced digital services, but the physical infrastructure on our streets remains blind. Every day, billion-dollar decisions regarding urban planning and mobility are made based on outdated assumptions and manual measurements. This leads to inefficiently used spaces, unnecessary search traffic, and increased CO2 emissions. Our Solution: The Digital Asphalt Our battery-powered mmWave sensors and Edge Computing continuously gather structured data on occupancy and flows in real-time. By using radar technology instead of cameras, the system is completely anonymous. Data is transmitted via our cloud architecture (PFind) and seamlessly integrated into the existing systems of municipalities and operators. Our Why We were founded on a simple but frustrating insight: A modern city cannot be managed by gut feeling, and citizen privacy must never be compromised to gather data. Our driving force is to give cities the right tools to govern themselves and reach their climate goals, entirely without mass surveillance. Now, we are building the team to make this a reality.
