Paint'R

In the European Union alone, more than 1.5 million paint buckets are discarded daily, constituting a disposal of 340 tons of single-use plastic that is incinerated each day. Starting from early 2023 (2025 in Denmark and Slovenia), manufacturers are obligated to cover the disposal costs of their packaging based on sustainability criteria. In Denmark, this translates to an estimated 15% fee on paint buckets. Furthermore, the conventional round shape of packaging has proven suboptimal for logistics and transportation. Beyond its environmental impact, the traditional paint bucket poses challenges for professional painters. These challenges encompass ergonomic issues during handling, such as the strain of lifting two buckets simultaneously, which exceeds recommended weight limits according to the Working Environment Authority. Painters also find themselves in awkward positions when pouring paint into a roller bucket for wall application. The demanding physical nature of the painting profession in Denmark results in accelerated fatigue and early retirement for painters. Additionally, issues like lid leakage due to dried paint and the use of fragile, porous plastic contribute to unexpected spills, particularly during abrupt vehicle stops. Our innovative solution involves a cardboard box housing two patent-pending plastic bags, each containing 5 liters of paint. This packaging not only enhances the workflow for professional painters but also reduces costs and lowers carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions by approximately 65% per unit. The box's design facilitates easy and ergonomic transportation, allowing for a 45% increase in units per pallet. The box is opened, and one of the bags is inserted into a standard roller bucket used by painters. The bag effortlessly opens and seamlessly fits into the roller bucket, wrapping around the edges, and enabling the painter to begin work promptly. This functionality is made possible through an innovative patented design and specific plastic welding techniques.

Mothership

Mothership är Sveriges största sökguide till upplevelser, behandlingar och event inom spiritualitet & holistisk hälsa. Mothership betyder själ, och föddes ur drömmen att skapa en plats där människor med en enkel sökning kan hitta till allt som får kropp, sinne och själ att spira. En samlingsplats vi som driver sajten själva länge saknat. (För dig som är nyfiken på varför vi heter som vi gör, hittas storyn bakom namnet lite längre ned på sidan.) Mothership är ett community och en holistisk hub där du kan utforska allt från yoga- och meditationsklasser till sound healing, coaching och behandlingar – och dig själv tillsammans med dem. Vi är också en plattform för holistiska verksamheter som vill marknadsföra sig online. Här hjälper vi både mindre och större aktörer att nå ut till likasinnade, i en bransch som går igenom en stor förändringsresa vi bara sett början på. Hos oss är alla välkomna, oavsett om du har kommit en bit på din spirituella resa eller om du bara är nyfiken men inte riktigt vet vad du söker. Att kunna sitta i lotusställning är med andra ord varken meriterande eller obligatoriskt för att hänga med oss. Vi gillar dig precis som du är.

HverdagsAI

Vi hjælper danske virksomheder med AI. Det gælder både undervisning, rådgivning, udvikling, samt egne AI produkter de kan nyde godt af. Vi udvikler ikke egne sprogmodeller eller leverer "kundeservice chatbots" på samlebånd. Men ligger os midt imellem, med løsninger, der er tilpasset den enkelte virksomhed. Derudover vil der det kommende år være endnu større fokus på egne interne projekter og produkter inden for AI feltet. Vi startede med udelukkkende at udbyde kurser i AI til danske virksomheder, med stort fokus på praktik. Vi afholder stadig mange kurser, men oplever oftere og oftere, at folk søger yderligere specialist hjælp til projekter. Hvorfor vi udvider den gren. Udover HverdagsAI.dk driver vi også "subbrandsne" ChatGPTkursus.dk og Copilotkursus.dk. Plus et par andre brands/produkter, der snart vil blive lanceret.

MOELLE

MOELLE is a collection of items that pay tribute to our deep-rooted relationship with the natural world. At MOELLE, we put an emphasis on creating designs that go beyond aesthetics and functionality. We call it 'meaningful designs' and this value centers on the idea that our designs have a purpose and make a positive impact on individuals, society, and the environment. Our kitchenware collection is a celebration of the human connection between nature and food culture. Food has the power to bring people together, fostering relationships and creating memorable moments. It links us to our roots and defines our identity. In French, "moelle" means marrow and is used metaphorically to describe the core or essence of something. It's a way of getting to the heart of a matter or understanding its essence, and this is exactly our mission with MOELLE.

StarCruiter International AS (Ltd.)

THE URGENT ISSUE IN TODAY'S JOB MARKET IN THE NORDIC COUNTRIES: ✪ Traditional recruitment prioritizes CV algorithms and keywords over human potential, by an astonishing 90%. When ATS/AI control who gets seen, we lose the most important factor: the human behind the CV. This creates not just unemployment, but social exclusion - when people can't find work, they lose connection to society and experience profound isolation. ✪ Todays recruitment methods are narrowly fixated purely on qualifications and historical experience, relying heavily on algorithms to sift through CVs. This approach overlooks the unique talents and motivations of individuals, drivingforces, personality and thus missing out on valuable opportunities for growth and success. ✪ THE RESULT: People are often using ChatGPT or Copilot to write their applications + HR are using AI to read them = nobody is getting hired. ✪ Sweden struggles with high youth unemployment and urban-rural divides. Refugee integration remains uneven, and platform work is eroding traditional protections. Union influence is waning, especially in tech and service sectors. ✪ Denmark’s famed flexicurity model is under pressure. Women are overrepresented in part-time roles, and older workers exit early. Gig work is expanding faster than regulation, challenging collective bargaining norms. ✪ Finland faces persistent long-term unemployment and mental health-related exclusion. Industrial restructuring is shifting jobs to tech hubs, leaving peripheral regions behind. Labor mobility remains low despite retraining efforts. In conclusion; the Nordic countries face mounting labor market exclusion despite strong welfare models. Norway leads with 700,000 adults outside the labor force, driven by regional stagnation, immigrant underemployment, and early retirement. The green and digital transitions are creating jobs—but not where displaced workers live. THE PERFECT STORM FOR US! TURNING THE RECRUITMENT MARKET UPSIDE-DOWN «From employer initiated to 100% talent focused.» Our Solution: Talentity.ai = AI meets empathy! Nordic's first community for job seekers, where talent takes center stage. Meeting the talents, rather than relying on historical data on a piece of paper. Creating an empathic AI, that combines human expertise with technology, supporting decision making and not taking over the entire process.

Trust Stamp

As society has progressively moved towards increased digitalisation and users have increased requirements for remote access to services, there is a greater need for secure methodologies that allow companies to identify and transact with customers and other stakeholders remotely. The government is no exception to this change: employees and stakeholders increasingly expect to be able to interact remotely with the government, both easily and safely. Biometric technologies are becoming ubiquitous, especially in support of remote interactions: when implemented well, they can bring tremendous advantages to business, government and their stakeholders with a slicker user experience, improved trust and lower costs. Inevitably, new opportunities come with new challenges, including: - Identity theft: biometric databases are proliferating and criminals are highly motivated to acquire biometric credentials and use them to impersonate others, usually for fraudulent purposes. Biometric credentials are far more valuable to criminals because, unlike passwords, they can’t simply be changed if stolen. - Trust: as remote interactions become the norm, it’s essential that both parties can be highly confident of the other’s identity. A business, government or service provider will need to be confident that the person connecting to the service is both a real person and the right person. - Exclusion: for those who do not have the necessary technology or skills, or perhaps bias in the biometric system that discriminates against some demographics and characteristics (such as skin colour and ageing). - Compliance: unlike passwords, biometrics are tied to an individual’s characteristics and could be used to identify that individual. GDPR places biometrics in a special or sensitive category of personal data and demands much stronger safeguards around collection and safekeeping. Trust Stamp recognises the challenges being faced by users and the market, and has responded to these challenges by creating a solution which provides users with a secure, private, and accessible identity. Trust Stamp establishes trust in a connected world, delivering trusted identity systems at the heart of how organisations and individuals transact in the digital world and beyond. Trust Stamp creates a secure, private and accessible identity. Trust Stamp answers the ultimate question of ‘Who am I dealing with?’. Is the person accessing the systems at that point in time, a real person and the right person? Trust Stamp’s patented technology enables businesses and public sector services to create trust and to protect themselves and their users, while empowering individuals to retain ownership of their data and prevent fraudulent activity using their identity. Trust Stamp focuses on three main areas of identity: - Creating an identity / Identity proofing. Trust Stamp's radical innovations in biometrics and data protection empower people to access more with an identity that can be safely shared and stored. - Powering transactions that enfranchise all parties involved. When our identity technology is used to open a bank account or access a public service, both the individual and organisation achieve higher levels of protection and confidence in the security of their data and the integrity of their systems. Trust Stamp's solutions elevate all sides of an identity system. - Mitigating risk to identity data. Trust Stamp leads with a privacy and security focus. Our technology limits the potential for misuse of identity data and damage due to data loss by creating a secure and private identity with the Irreversibly Transformed Token (IT2).
