The Problem Most workplaces struggle with high sick leave — and the root causes are rarely acute injuries or illness. They are lifestyle-driven issues: • fatigue and low energy • stress and mental strain • poor sleep • musculoskeletal pain • unhealthy habits • lack of support These problems build up over time, and employees try to handle them alone. But people don’t change their health on their own — and employers don’t have the tools or competency to help them. The result? High sick leave costs, reduced productivity, and employees who are stuck in patterns they can’t break. Why it matters Sick leave is one of the biggest hidden costs in business. A single employee on sick leave costs on average 65 200 kr per year — and 20% of employees account for 80% of the total. Most of these cases are preventable with the right support. At the same time, people want help: 85% prefer guidance from a qualified professional rather than trying to solve health challenges alone. ABEL’s Role ABEL solves this gap. We connect employees with qualified health coaches who follow them closely over time — mentally, physically, and socially. Through structured guidance and our digital platform, we help people make sustainable lifestyle changes that reduce sick leave and increase wellbeing. The impact: Employees get better health. Companies save money. Society reduces the burden of preventable illness.

Using natural and recycled materials, our cushions make sitting a pleasure while preserving the chairs’ style and sustainability. ⸻ The Why: It wasn’t the chairs’ fault—I love my classic chairs, but I found them hard to sit on comfortably.

At Innovation Roundtable, our focus is on helping large multinational companies navigate one of their biggest challenges: innovating in complex, fast-changing environments. While most corporates understand the need to innovate, a lack of cross-functional collaboration, and difficulty translating new ideas into real business impact. We bring senior executives together across industries and geographies to share experiences, learn from each other, and explore practical approaches to innovation, digital transformation, and organizational change. By creating a trusted, peer-to-peer network through our Summits, workshops, and online community, we solve the problem of isolation and limited perspective that innovation leaders often face in their own companies. Our mission is simple: to make innovation in large firms less of a struggle and more of a shared journey, supported by learning, collaboration, and real-world insights.

PharosBio is building an autonomous AI scientist—a platform and APIs that help biopharma and research teams reduce R&D risk by turning fragmented evidence into decisions across discovery and translation. The problem Despite billions spent on R&D, the research ecosystem runs on incomplete, siloed insight. Around 90% of drug candidates still fail in the clinic, wasting time and capital and delaying therapies for patients. This affects 4.5 million scientists across pharma, biotech, and academia who must constantly decide what to study, why it matters, and whether to proceed—with evidence that’s scattered and stale. Our solution We’re building the first agentic AI built for life sciences: a system that plans, reads, reasons, and writes like a tireless collaborator, and plugs into existing workflows via APIs. What it does • Target discovery & repurposing: surfaces novel targets and repositioning opportunities from literature and data; ranks by mechanism and evidence strength. • Translational go/no-go: aggregates preclinical and clinical signals to support milestone decisions with transparent rationales. • Scientific writing copilot: drafts systematic reviews, grant sections, IND-supporting summaries, and patent landscape briefs with citations. How it fits • Platform + APIs integrate with existing tools and pipelines. • Evidence-first UX: every recommendation is linked to sources; uncertainty is quantified. • Autonomy with control: agents run end-to-end tasks, while scientists supervise, edit, and approve. Outcomes • Faster time to insight, • Fewer dead-ends, • Higher confidence at each stage from early discovery to translation. Our motivation We’re expats who fell in love with Denmark’s research culture and collaborative ecosystem. We started PharosBio because agentic AI is powerful but under-applied where it matters most—healthcare, research, and biotech. Watching promising ideas stall for lack of clear evidence lit the spark: we want to equip every scientist with an always-on partner, so more therapies reach patients - us and our loved ones!

The Challenge: Billions of people live, work, or travel in areas without reliable network coverage. When disasters strike or infrastructure fails, communication often breaks down completely. This affects rural communities, NGOs, rescue workers, military units, and travelers worldwide. Our Solution: Attavik is building a patented communication system that works both online and offline. • Our app allows users to communicate directly up to 60 meters. • Our portable Wi-Fi routers extend that range, creating local, independent networks. No internet. No satellites. No telecom infrastructure. Just reliable communication – anywhere, anytime. Why We Started: The idea was born in Greenland, where daily life often means facing poor or non-existent connectivity. Experiencing this challenge firsthand inspired us to create Attavik. Our vision is simple: nobody should be cut off from communication – whether due to geography, crisis, or fragile infrastructure. Looking Ahead: With a patented solution, strong recognition (4 Seal-of-Excellences from EU Horizon & EIC Accelerator), and growing interest across industries, Attavik is ready to move from prototype to market.

It unites art, business, and future thinking into one event, creating a space where creative professionals, industry leaders, and cultural innovators collide. The Problem We’re Solving: Finland’s creative and cultural industries are vibrant but fragmented.

Our Solution: We bring the worlds of creativity, business, and culture under one roof—both figuratively and literally. We create spaces, online and offline, where new ideas can be born, collaborations can spark, and culture can evolve. Why We’re Doing It: We believe that creativity is a driver of societal change and economic growth. By making Finland a hub for next-generation creative culture, we’re putting it on the global cultural map—and creating a movement that inspires, elevates, and unites people from all walks of life.

FUSE is a Danish startup on a mission to reinvent how we consume energy. We combine caffeine and essential vitamins in small, great-tasting powder sticks that can be easily mixed with water anytime, anywhere. The idea behind FUSE came from a real need. As students and young professionals, we constantly found ourselves relying on energy drinks to stay focused and keep going. But the products available were either filled with sugar, came in bulky cans, or simply didn’t feel like something we wanted to put into our bodies. We created FUSE to offer a clean, portable and transparent alternative to traditional energy products. Each stick fits in your pocket and delivers a refreshing, sugar-free boost when mixed with water. No fridge needed, no crash afterward, and no guessing what’s inside. Just clean energy, wherever you are. Our target group is made up of young, active individuals who need focus and energy throughout the day during studies, workouts, events or long shifts at work. We aim to remove the friction of staying energized in a busy everyday life by offering a product that is both practical and trustworthy. At its core, FUSE solves three main problems: traditional energy products are inconvenient to carry, often packed with sugar and additives, and not transparent about their ingredients. We solve this by being light, clean and clear. As we continue to grow, our goal is to build a community of ambitious people who want to perform at their best without compromising on health or convenience.
