We are simplifying business to business deals, sourcing and integrations, by being the bridge between emerging technologies and end customers. The problem DODi solves sits on both sides of a broken market. Mid-size Nordic manufacturers know they need to automate, instrument, and optimize, but finding the right provider of technology is slow and risky. They lack the time to scan a fragmented supplier landscape, the technical depth to separate real capability from a good pitch, and a low-cost way to test a solution before committing budget. On the other side, strong early-stage tech companies struggle to reach industrial buyers, understand plant realities, and land the reference customers that unlock their next stage of growth. The two sides rarely meet on terms that work for either of them. DODi closes that gap with curated, structured matchmaking rather than an open directory. The result is a platform that makes industrial modernization approachable. Manufacturers get a trusted, low-risk way to discover and test new technology without the search cost or the guesswork. Emerging tech companies get warm, qualified access to serious industrial buyers and the reference customers they need to grow. DODi sits in the middle as the layer of trust, curation, and industrial judgment that turns a promising match into a working deployment.

Digital Ops ApS is building an autonomous AI platform that acts as a company's digital grant manager, automating the full lifecycle of public and private grant applications from identifying relevant funding opportunities to preparing and submitting applications, to project management, documentation, and reporting afterward. The problem we're solving is that grant applications today are a heavy, manual, and time-consuming process. This pulls focus away from a company's core business, which is why many businesses either outsource the work to expensive consultants or skip applying altogether, missing out on substantial funding that could support their growth. We're solving this because we believe access to funding shouldn't depend on having the time or budget for consultants; small and medium-sized enterprises deserve the same professional-grade funding management that larger companies can afford. Our platform is already in its first working version and being tested with real companies. Since our founding, we've built strong in-house expertise in software development, AI, and automation, giving us a solid foundation to scale this into a SaaS platform with international potential.

SoSimple blev grundlagt af Rikke Berg i 2011 med ønsket om at gøre en forskel for ledere og privatpersoner ved at sprede mere nærvær, glæde og effektivitet i dansk erhvervsliv – og at give plads til de samtaler, der handler om det, der virkelig fylder, når arbejdslivet er lagt til side. Navnet SoSimple refererer til, at løsningen ofte er lige for næsen af os. På papiret så simpelt, men i praksis mere udfordrende – og udefrakommende hjælp og støtte er ofte afgørende for succes. SoSimple tilbyder coaching, mindfulness og terapi-forløb til virksomheder og private. Vi tør gå tæt på og udfordre til indsigt – så du bliver mere motiveret, og dermed skaber bedre resultater, både på bundlinjen og i dit liv som menneske.

Free To Use is a royalty-free music platform that gives content creators high-quality background music for free, without the copyright risks that come with most "free" music online. The problem: every creator who publishes video or audio needs music, but the safe options are a mess. Most "free" libraries simply host tracks uploaded by producers who keep the rights, so a song can be pulled later or hit with a copyright claim that demonetizes or blocks the creator's video. Licensing terms are buried in legalese and often restricted by platform or region. And a growing share of libraries are filling up with AI-generated music that can't be properly copyrighted or protected. The result: creators waste time, lose ad revenue to false claims, and never quite know if the music in their video is safe. Our solution: Free To Use owns every track in its catalogue outright. Artists transfer the exclusive rights to us, so the music stays free forever, the terms stay stable, and we can resolve false copyright claims directly on a creator's behalf. Every track is made by a real human artist, never AI, and reviewed and curated by hand for consistent quality. Creators browse by mood and genre, download unlimited tracks with no sign-up, and publish safely across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Twitch and podcasts. Why we built it: we are a team of content creators who felt this pain ourselves. Free use comes with a simple attribution; we fund the platform through affordable Personal and Commercial subscriptions plus single-track Pro and Broadcast licences, which keeps the core library free for everyone. Founded in 2016 and based in Denmark, Free To Use is building the music layer for the creator economy: music creators can actually trust.
