Cleenki

Cleenki is building an AI-native marketplace for home cleaning to help busy households in Sweden book trusted, recurring cleaning in seconds, while giving independent cleaners fair pay and the tools to build a stable business. Our secret sauce: by treating cleaners well and letting them work for themselves, we turn motivated cleaners into loyal, long-term customer relationships that traditional agencies cannot match. The cleaning industry is built on a broken chain. Traditional cleaning companies pay low wages and treat cleaners poorly, which kills motivation. Unmotivated, underpaid cleaners churn constantly, which makes it hard for customers to find a reliable local cleaner and build a long-term relationship. The result is a poor customer experience across the entire industry: no-shows, inconsistent quality, and constant turnover on both sides of a market that should be built on trust and recurring stability. This affects almost every busy household in Sweden. With RUT making professional cleaning affordable for a large share of the population, demand is huge, yet the experience for both customers and the people doing the actual work has barely improved in decades. Cleenki is a marketplace that matches households with vetted independent cleaners and turns one-off jobs into recurring relationships. Customers book in minutes, pay securely by card, and keep the same cleaner over time. Our edge is the cleaners themselves. On Cleenki, cleaners work for themselves or run small cleaning businesses, so they genuinely care about their customers and do the little extra every single time. We are deeply focused on cleaner wellbeing, because we know that motivated, fairly treated cleaners are what create happy, loyal customers. We take a cut of each booking, and over time we are building the operating system underneath the marketplace: automated scheduling, payments, subscriptions, and the daily operations a cleaning business needs to run, so any cleaner or small company can eventually run their entire business on Cleenki. We are live and growing steadily, with over 100 paying recurring customers and 10 to 25 one-off bookings per month. The cleaning industry is outdated. Customers demand convenience, cleaners demand fairness, and sustainability matters more than ever. Cleenki delivers all three at exactly the right moment. We start in Stockholm, then expand across Sweden, the Nordics, and beyond. Before Cleenki, I started a traditional cleaning company (Cleanest Sweden AB). That is where I really got to know the industry from the inside. I interviewed and worked with dozens of cleaners, and over and over I heard the same two patterns. The first was unfair treatment: low pay, stressful schedules, and managers who simply did not care about them as people. The second was a dream. Almost every cleaner I spoke to wanted the same thing: to work for themselves, on their own terms. That is what fired the spark. I realized the cleaning industry is broken in a way that hurts everyone at once. Cleaners carry the whole business on their backs but are treated as disposable, and customers suffer the consequences through constant turnover and unreliable service. Cleenki is my way of fixing both sides at the same time: giving cleaners the independence, fair pay, and recurring income they dream of, and giving households cleaners who actually care. This is not just a booking app to me. It is a mission to give an overlooked workforce ownership over their working lives.

United Nations Youth Association(UNYA) Denmark

UNYA Copenhagen is a volunteer-driven youth organization dedicated to empowering young people to engage with global challenges through the lens of the United Nations’ values and the Sustainable Development Goals. We create an inclusive platform where students and young professionals can learn, collaborate, and take action on issues like climate change, social inequality, peacebuilding, and innovation. We are addressing a clear and growing problem i.e. the disconnect between youth and global institutions. Many young people in Denmark care deeply about sustainability and justice but find it difficult to access meaningful opportunities to participate in international dialogue or contribute to real-world impact. This gap leaves motivated individuals without a channel to apply their energy, creativity, and ideas, while institutions miss out on fresh perspectives and engagement from the very generation that will inherit the future. UNYA Copenhagen bridges this divide by turning global ideals into local action. We organize interactive events, workshops, and panel discussions that make complex global topics accessible and relevant. Our activities are co-created by volunteers from diverse academic and cultural backgrounds who bring their own insights to the table. Through collaboration with universities, NGOs, and public institutions, we connect youth directly with experts and decision-makers, fostering a sense of shared responsibility and agency. What makes UNYA Copenhagen unique is our grassroots approach. We are not just an organization — we are a community that thrives on collective energy and creativity. Every project is designed by young people for young people, ensuring authenticity, inclusivity, and long-term motivation. Our strength lies in our diversity and the genuine commitment of our volunteers, who bring the UN’s global mission to life in a way that feels personal and actionable. The motivation behind UNYA Copenhagen is simple: we believe that youth engagement should not be limited to classrooms or conferences but should become a lived experience. We started this initiative because we wanted to make international dialogue tangible, local, and inspiring. Our team members share a passion for learning, community-building, and positive change — values that drive us to dedicate our time to building something meaningful together. Today, UNYA Copenhagen continues to grow as a platform where ideas turn into impact. We are seeking motivated individuals who want to gain experience in leadership, communication, and project management while contributing to a global cause. By joining The Hub’s Community Program, we hope to reach more passionate volunteers who want to be part of a dynamic network that connects Copenhagen’s youth with the world.

FEESH

FEESH...the feed for your fish Aquaculture is the fastest-growing food sector and is vital for meeting the protein needs of a growing global population. Yet, its growth is constrained by reliance on two unsustainable protein sources: fishmeal and soy protein concentrate (SPC). Fishmeal is produced from wild-caught fish, putting pressure on already fragile marine ecosystems, while soy production drives large-scale deforestation and carries a heavy carbon footprint. Both are also subject to volatile global markets, making aquafeed production environmentally damaging, expensive, and vulnerable. Insects, particularly Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL), are an attractive and more sustainable alternative. They can be produced locally, upcycle organic waste streams into valuable protein, and have a low environmental footprint. However, despite this potential, insect meal remains a niche ingredient in aquafeeds. The main barrier is chitin, a fiber-like polymer in the insect exoskeleton that reduces digestibility and locks away valuable proteins. This limits inclusion rates of BSFL meal in aquafeeds to just 2–8%, far below the levels needed to meaningfully replace fishmeal and soy. At FEESH, we are solving this problem by applying a precision microbial fermentation platform, enhanced with ultrasonication pre-treatment, to upgrade BSFL meal into a high-performance protein ingredient. Our process disrupts the chitin-protein matrix, making proteins more bioavailable, reducing indigestible fiber, and enriching the lipid fraction with beneficial fatty acids such as EPA and DHA. Additionally, fermentation produces bioactive peptides and immunostimulatory compounds that improve gut health and disease resilience in fish. The result is a fermented insect meal with digestibility levels reaching 90–95%, enabling high inclusion rates of >20% in aquafeeds without compromising fish growth, palatability, or welfare. By combining biological and physical processing, FEESH unlocks the true nutritional potential of insects, transforming them from a niche supplement into a viable replacement for fishmeal and soy protein concentrate. This matters because the aquafeed industry needs scalable, circular, and climate-friendly solutions. Our innovation reduces dependence on environmentally destructive feed sources, cuts CO₂ emissions, and strengthens food system resilience. For insect producers, it creates new market opportunities with higher-value products. For aquafeed formulators and fish farmers, it delivers a sustainable, locally produced protein that supports both performance and animal health. And for society, it contributes to global food security and a more sustainable bioeconomy. FEESH is pioneering the next generation of aquafeed ingredients, designed not just to sustain aquaculture, but to make it thrive responsibly.
