Customers often find themselves navigating a labyrinth of varied DJ offers, each with its unique selling point, pricing, and availability. The result? Time-consuming offer gathering and a high risk of not securing the best DJ fit for the customer's specific event needs. In response, we have developed a platform connected to a comprehensive database of over 70 DJs in Denmark. Our innovation isn't merely about quantity but quality. Instead of overwhelming users with countless options, our platform presents them with three matched DJs for every customer.

Qluent enables everyone to access data insights easily by leveraging Generative AI to handle the complex task of extracting data from databases. What is Qluent? Qluent is a smart business analytics assistant, designed to enable non-technical users to access, explore and gain insights from their business data. It leverages the power of large language models (LLM), which are powering services such as ChatGPT, enabling users to interact with their data in a fully natural language environment, without any additional learning. What sets it apart from other LLM-based services is that it is connected to your business data sources, and uses that live data when answering questions, instead of being pre-trained on a static dataset. How does Qluent work? All data sources, such as SQL databases or data providing APIs, define a language for querying them. Qluent is trained to transform natural language questions into queries for these data sources, and then additionally trained to query your business data source in particular, with the awareness of the data objects (e.g. SQL tables, columns, or API query fields) this data source holds. When users ask a question, Qluent first translates it into a query for the data source, and then executes it on the data source, returning the results to the user. Additionally, Qluent provides users with an explanation of how the question was understood and how the query that was generated actually works, allowing users to understand how the system works interpreted their question and letting them guide the answering process with precision.

Læsk is out to challenge the soda industry by offering fermented soft drinks that has less sugar and less calories than conventional sodas. Through fermentation and being selective with ingrediens, we create well-balanced drinks without alcohol that are less sweet. The kombucha category is fairly new and despite Læsk being the leading brand in Denmark, represented in 7Eleven, Coop and lots of restaurants and cafes across the country, there's still a lot of customer education to be made. It is a fun journey and we are driven by the opportunity to get people to make better choices for themselves. Founder Line started Læsk because she thought the soda category was boring and drinks were too sweet. Cheers to a healthier soda!

ARIS Robotics was founded by a shared vision: to steer the world towards a greener future. One of the critical challenges in the green transition is how we manage our resources and waste. Today’s processes are highly linear: raw materials are extracted, processed into products, used a few times, and then discarded—either incinerated or buried in landfills. We aim to change that. At ARIS, our ultimate goal is to create a world without waste. This means transforming linear processes into circular ones. The first step towards effective recycling is good sorting. We develop scalable and automated solutions using deep learning to recognize and sort waste efficiently. Currently, we are serving our beachhead market—public recycling centers. Here, we assist visitors in correctly sorting their waste, extending the lifespan of materials and reducing the need to extract more raw materials from our limited planet. We are always on the lookout for passionate individuals to join our mission. Keep an eye on our open positions, follow us on LinkedIn, or feel free to send us a motivated application. Let’s create a greener future together!

Oskara presents: PORPLE. PORPLE helps companies to start incorporating security into their software development. PORPLE does this by evaluating multiple different aspects of software development to suggest what action provides the best return. "We need to change. We can't fix everything at once. PORPLE helps us get going". The cybersecurity market is NOT adapted to help companies balance security with the current pace of demand. Instead, there are 2 extremes. Either the patch-work, buy-more-security tools method, where you try to fix issues after they've been discovered, OR the overhaul method, where it's expected that companies seize all other operations, to fix their security flaws. Both of these options are too expensive, too slow, and don't provide either sufficient security, happy workers, or good returns on investments. PORPLE covers the spectrum between these 2 extremes. We understand that companies need to change, but also that reality makes this hard, so you have to be smart with your decisions. Sometimes it's the purchase of security tools, sometimes education sometimes just a little line of code, but there's a time and a place for all of these. I (Oskar) started working on making PORPLE a product as during my career, both as a developer and cybersecurity advisor, I've seen that there exist no flexible options for companies, which usually results in companies either choosing to gamble with their security or waste huge amounts of money because they don't understand the huge field that is cybersecurity.
