SKOVLYST er en innovativ bryggerivirksomhed. Vores oprindelse udspringer fra den danske skov – Hareskoven for at være helt præcis. Her startede vores brygmester, Casper Møller, med at brygge øl tilbage i 2005, der var inspireret af skovens dufte, smage og oplevelser. Og selvom vi i dag er rykket ud af det lille bryghus i skoven til større faciliteter, så er den stadig essentiel i vores øl og den måde, hvorpå vi bringer gode øl ud til forbrugerne. Eftersom vi udspringer fra skoven, har vi altid følt et ansvar for at passe godt på den. Derfor arbejder vi løbende med at effektivisere og skabe en ansvarlig forretning, som ikke kun tager hensyn, men samtidig også giver tilbage til skoven, i form af genrejsning af dansk folkeskov. Vi arbejder altså med et langsigtet perspektiv på at reducere vores CO2 aftryk.

NitroVolt is decarbonizing nitrogen-based fertilizer production and making the agricultural sector more resilient with a novel production process. Commercial ammonia production supports 40-50% of the agricultural industry as a nitrogen-based fertilizer. But current ammonia production is not sustainable, releasing over 1% of global greenhouse gas emissions during production facilities and further emissions during transportation to the end user, farmers. NitroVolt offers a local ammonia production solution that gives farmers the ability to produce their own nitrogen-based fertilizer. The only inputs required by NitroVolt’s container-sized systems are air, water, and electricity, enabling production of sustainable ammonia directly at farms. NitroVolt’s patented electrochemical Nitrolyzer unit can make ammonia on-demand with intermittent renewable energy sources. With their technology, NitroVolt aims to decarbonize nitrogen-based fertilizer production one farm at a time, cut the logistic costs of distributing fertilizer, and make the agricultural sector more resilient to external factors.

We are an agtech startup driven by a clear mission: to strengthen Swedish agriculture and food production through sharing of agricultural data. Agriculture is currently undergoing a digital revolution, characterized by the use of sensors, connected devices, and data monitoring software. This advancement introduces complex challenges in terms of data privacy, security, and transparency. Data is collected in large amounts, but is locked in silos of individual products and systems. To fully leverage the benefits of this digitalization, creating a platform for effective data sharing is essential. By establishing a robust and secure infrastructure, we enable large-scale data sharing across the agricultural value chain – without compromising privacy or security. Our platform allows stakeholders, from farmers to researchers as well as the industry, to share and access data. We provide Swedish farmers with full control over their data, while also enabling the development of new applications based on data from the platform. A prime example is our climate calculation application, Agrosfär, which simplifies how to measure and report the agricultural sector's carbon footprint. We are a small but dynamic team, well-versed in data science, IT architecture, design, and UX, and in close collaboration with agricultural experts, researchers and farmers. We are here for the long run, backed by the ownership of Lantmännen, LRF -The Swedish Federation of Farmers, Hushållningssällskapet, Växa, HKScan Sweden, and Arla Sweden. The platform, as well as the climate calculation tool Agrosfär, is developed with support from the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development.

Our patent pending technology allows an ear specialist to collect long term data on the patient's ability to equalise pressure in the middle ear - all while the patient is listening to music or podcasts or watching TV. Difficulty equalising pressure in the middle ear is a common precursor to more serious middle ear health problems such as cholesteatoma ("bone-eater") or hearing loss. Our technology allows the ear specialist to monitor the patient's ability to equalise pressure in the middle ear over a long period of time, and to correlate this with the patient's symptoms.

THE PROBLEM Searching second-hand online requires navigating hundreds of platforms and incomplete listings, forcing shoppers to do the heavy lifting of finding and comparing relevant items. The decentralized and the fragmented second-hand market creates a time-consuming and frustrating experience for shoppers to locate desired items among incomplete listings and outdated platforms. THE SOLUTION Koral aggregates millions of second-hand listings into one searchable platform with categorized, indexed data to create a one-stop solution. This eliminates tedious searches across individual platforms, making shopping second-hand is easier by improving discoverability and streamlining the process of finding desired items online.

Today, 7 of 10 Swedes walk around with an untreated skin problem. And even WITH a referral, you have to wait up to 6 months to get qualified help. No more. We started Dr Hud because we believe that skin patients deserve a better healthcare experience. Several of us have ourselves suffered from skin problems, long waiting times and incorrect assessments, and unfortunately we are not alone. The team, which consists of both dermatologists and people with many years of experience in healthcare scaleups (incl Doctrin, Kry, Uber and others), aim to offer a service that is better for patients, doctors and the healthcare system as a whole. Let's fix skin. One rash, mole or itch at a time.
