The innovation ecosystem plays a crucial role in the success of startups, but these ecosystems are facing operational and strategic obstacles that limit their potential. The operational difficulties include an inability to effectively support startups leading to high failure rates, low engagement from startups, and resource-intensive reporting processes. On the strategic front, innovation ecosystems face intense competition and struggle to scale their efforts and establish sustainable business models, which often rely heavily on government funding. These challenges impact a wide range of players in the ecosystem, including incubators, accelerators, universities, and enterprise innovation departments. Addressing these challenges can lead to a thriving startup ecosystem, boosting economic growth and driving progress. By investing in the solution of these significant problems, the innovation ecosystem has the potential to unleash its full potential and drive positive change.

Nicoline Hansen is searching for a partner with strong marketing and PR skills. It is Nicoline Hansen's mission to develop showpiece designs in sustainable latex for fashion connoisseurs. The Danish brand offers luxurious designs that make the customer stand out, thus making it easy to create a strong visual style. Latex has not yet reached its full potential as a high-fashion material and plant-based alternative to leather, although in recent years it has been used extensively by celebrities and has given an edge to luxury designs on the catwalk (Read here from Vogue https://www.vogue.co.uk/fashion/gallery/latex-aw20). Latex is strong and biodegradable just like leather, but vegan and far less harmful to the environment. It is tapped from rubber trees in Malaysia where working conditions and the environment are in order. Depending on the thickness and color, it looks and feels like silk or soft lambskin. It is comfortable to wear because it stretches and keeps its shape perfectly while adapting to the body's movements. Nicoline Hansen designs are unique because we create elegant and comfortable designs by combining them with other luxurious and biodegradable fabrics. The target group is the fashion connoisseur with a strong, innovative style. The customer finds joy in being creative when dressing and attracting the eyes of others. She/he lives an urban life and is enthusiastic about quality and sustainability when investing in garments. Customers are reached via Instagram and the webshop. I have a few selected retailers and expect to get more when production is in place. Challenges For several years I have worked with especially custom designs in latex, and been responsible for everything myself - development, design, marketing, pricing, production, etc. It has given me many skills, but also spread me thin over many tasks. I am currently looking for a manufacturer of my designs, and have contacted a company in Italy that has worked with latex for other luxury brands. I want to delegate as much as possible and focus on what I do best. My abilities lie in the product - elegant designs with an edge and great material know-how. Needs I am looking for a partner who compliments my abilities - who I can spar with and who can dedicate him/herself to sales and PR in luxury fashion. A partner who either has time to do the legwork or has the opportunity to invest and delegate to other specialists. With a unique brand and a strong collaboration, the potential is great and it is my ambition that we should be a well-known luxury brand. Hermes is known for leathergoods and silk, Louis Vuitton for bags. Nicoline Hansen will be known for creating luxury clothing in latex. See more on Instagram.com/nicolinehansenCPH

In BRØG we are developing a beautiful pour over coffee machine, where the user can control several variables in order to make their preferred cup of coffee. Our vision is to give the user the opportunity to brew the perfect cup of coffee while keeping the machine aesthetically beautiful. Besides that, we want to create an app where our customers can share, download and rate brews and thereby create a community similar to Vivino but for coffee lovers. Our customer segments consist primarily of coffee and design enthusiasts. The Scandinavian countries are the most coffee drinking nations worldwide, with a market potential of 800.000 sales - especially because black pour over coffee is the preferred brewing method. Furthermore, the design often matters a lot when Scandinavians buy new interior equipment and we plan on branding BRØG with that in focus. In order to brew a great cup of pour over coffee with the pour over method, you need to practice a lot to do it perfectly. This is where our machine comes into the picture. When using our machine, the user will be able to adjust all the crucial variables and thereby recreate their favorite cup of coffee every time. Besides that, our machine distributes the water correctly over the beans using our newly patented-pending water distributor. This will together with the right temperature, waterflow, bloom time and bloom water ensure a great cup of coffee. If the user is not an experienced barista or coffee connoisseur, they can use our app and in that find the coffee bean they are using (or a similar one) and see what settings other users have used and what the result was like. Anyone can therefore create a great cup of coffee with minimum effort or knowledge. All the components necessary to control these parameters require very little battery which, together with our battery pack, allows the user to brew a minimum of 100 cups of coffee before having to about recharging the machine. BRØG is portable and gives the user a lot of freedom which together with our design-protected design differentiates us from our competitors. The team consists of three Process and Innovation students from DTU. Our skills as a team cover the fundamental knowledge necessary to run a startup due to us having different qualities and interests. We have a great team spirit and know each other's strengths and weaknesses and help each other whenever the need arises. Two of us have been working on BRØG for the past one and a half years and are now going full time in our company, and the third partner just joined. Besides us, we have a strong team of advisors and mentors. Our advisory board consists of a business lawyer working with startups, a product developer, a business and market expert from CBS and an entrepreneur that we try to meet up with 6 times a year. Besides that, we have a mentor from a previous mentor program with years of experience as a designer within the same luxurious customer segment, who helps us create a beautiful and user-friendly product. This group of people have also helped us create a large network with contacts in all areas of expertise that we need to succeed.

We make the restaurant and hospitality experience better, no more shouting to hold a conversation - the background music will always balanced. WHY WAVED? THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE The goal of restaurants, bars and other eating and drinking venues is to provide the best customer experience possible. The customer’s well-being is directly linked to the amount of money spent during their stay and the likelihood that they will return. THE IMPORTANCE OF SOUND Research has shown that a well composed sound environment has direct impact on how the guest’s overall experience and even how the taste of the food and drinks are perceived. LARGE INVESTMENTS IN SOUND EQUIPMENT Most restaurants and bars know how important the sound environment is for a good customer experience and it is common to spend thousands of dollars on sound equipment. WHAT DECIDES THE VOLUME? The volume is usually controlled manually by waiters or bartenders in-between their other duties. Lack of information and knowledge of the customers perception often lead to poor volume level decisions. THE SOLUTION IS WAVED Wall-mounted sensors are placed around the venue and listens to the sound environment. Waved’s brain is build around our self-developed algorithm. It has the ability to understand and evaluate the sound environment and is used to set the perfect sound volume in order to maximise the customer experience.
