Sybo Games is a brand and innovation house that turns ideas into captivating and clear-cut games and spin-offs for mobile devices. They are most famous for their global game hit Subway Surfers. Working with a flat structure, every individual at Sybo Games is an expert within their domain. Every production method is kept agile: fail fast and then make things function. Because of regular team meetings, working hours are mandatory between 10-16, but you can come earlier or stay later within the controlled flexibility of the schedule. Sybo Games have monthly Friday bars and movie nights where they feature both awarded and more unorthodox B-films. The social scene is extensive and besides the obvious interest in gaming it also offers Artistic Nights with a creative focus as well as a running club.

Liva is a platform and app for people living with chronic diseases such as obesity, kohl, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.The Liva team has previously created NetDoktor and other successful startups in the health sector, and now they’re eager to disrupt the market and offer more lifestyle-related treatment than regular healthcare does, moving away from purely medical treatment traditions. This happens through advanced digital personal guidance, lifestyle and disease tracking, user forum etc. We’re a small, dedicated team of skilled individuals, and we’re very flexible. Since knowledge sharing is the easiest when working in one room, we’ve agreed to work as much as possible from the office. If we can’t hire the best of the best people, we often prefer outsourcing our tasks.We place the social element at the heart of Liva, with a blast of a Christmas lunch (this year taking place at the Tivoli amusement park) and regular team dinners too. We set quarterly goals, and upon fulfilling them we celebrate by traveling together, going for luxury dining or the like. A startup like Liva is very uncomplicated and all individuals get a lot of decision making power.The need for our platform is here, this is clear since many customers have signed up before our actual product has launched - some have even told us they’ve been waiting for a product like this for 10 years.

Fronted helps companies recruit, employ, and pay global talent — fast, compliant, and without the usual hassle. Hiring internationally should open doors, not slow companies down. Yet most organisations face the same challenges when they expand across borders: roles stay open for months, local salary structures become unsustainable, compliance feels risky and unclear, and teams are assembled through a maze of vendors, tools, and handoffs. Recruiters focus on candidates. Employer-of-Record providers focus on compliance. Payroll vendors handle payments. Consultants offer advice. Each piece exists in isolation — and no one owns the full system. That’s because global hiring isn’t just a legal problem or a payroll problem. It’s a systems problem. Fronted was built to solve that. Fronted is the Global Talent OS — a single system companies use to build, employ, and run global teams. We bring together everything required to scale internationally into one clear, connected platform, backed by one partner. Our approach combines: Precision recruitment: We help companies hire the right people in the right markets, with a focus on long-term performance rather than short-term placement. Nordic-grade compliant workforce management: Employment structures designed to meet local regulations, reduce risk, and stay reliable as companies grow across borders. Payroll and benefits: Accurate, compliant payroll and locally appropriate benefits, handled in one system and aligned with each country’s requirements. Ongoing team stability: Support that goes beyond hiring to help teams stay engaged, productive, and sustainable over time. All of this is built with a Nordic mindset: clarity over complexity, trust over control, and responsible scaling over quick fixes. Fronted enables companies to move beyond borders without losing speed, control, or confidence — turning global hiring from a fragmented process into a system that simply works.

Birdie er en innovativ og prisvindende indeklimamåler. Når luftkvaliteten er dårlig, falder Birdie® død om, indtil du åbner vinduet og giver den et friskt pust luft. • Patenteret og prisvindende dansk design. • Produceret i 70% genbrugsplast. • Højkvalitets CO2-sensor-teknologi fra Schweiz. • Allerede på væggen i +50.000 af hjem i 70 lande. _______________________ Et usynligt problem Vidste du at du tilbringer 90 % af dit liv indendørs? — Ofte i dårligt indeklima, hvilket øger risikoen for astma, hovedpine, allergier og søvnforstyrrelser. Alene i EU skønnes 80 millioner hjem at have et dårligt indeklima. Hvad kan man så gøre ved det? De fleste eksperter anbefaler ‘’udluftning’’ som den bedste løsning til dårligt indeklima. Sundhedsstyrelsen anbefaler endda, at du lufter ud 2-3 gange om dagen. Birdie® er skabt til at minde dig om at lufte ud på de rigtige tidspunkter - på en elegant og venlig måde. Hvorfor en kanariefugl? I gamle dage tog minearbejdere kanariefugle med sig i kulminen for at blive påmindet om giftige gasser. Når fuglen besvimede, var det tid til at komme op af minen. Med en indbygget CO2-sensor fungerer Birdie® på nøjagtig samme måde - bare i dit hjem, på dit kontor eller i dit klasseværelse. _______________________ Hvorfor Birdie? 1. 😌 Forbedret sundhed og velvære (Source: The World Green Building Council) 2. 💡 Forbedret produktivitet (Source: Harvard University T.H. of Public Health) 3. 🐤 Prisvindende Dansk design pynter på væggen og får automatisk en bedre placering i hjemmet, som er essentiel for et produkt der kræver din opmærksomhed (modsat mange konkurrenter som ligner røgalarmer og wifi-routers, der ofte bliver gemt væk bag sofaen) Social links: https://www.instagram.com/birdie.scandinavia/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/birdie-scandinavia/

For fans, it provides an accessible, anytime opportunity to interact with their idols in a way that was previously impossible. This approach not only democratizes access to personalized interactions with influential figures but also opens up new avenues for content creation, coaching, and advice that are tailored to individual needs and questions.

Our vision At Simple Feast, we believe that amazing things can happen around the dinner table. Our plant-based meal kits are rooted in our commitment to making life easier and better for you, your family, and the planet we all share. Simple Feast takes you on a journey toward a future where the power and flavors of plants are the focus of our meals. Through inspiring and delightful taste experiences, we can help move people’s eating habits in a more sustainable direction. Our story Simple Feast was founded in Copenhagen (in 2014) with the vision of getting more Danes to make more meals at home. We wanted to go back to the primordial tradition of sharing food with family and friends. We started by creating an app with hundreds of recipes from some of the world’s finest chefs. However, we soon recognized how many people today have limited time for cooking and the need for everyday meals that are quick and easy to prepare. So in March 2017, we decided to cook the food for you on the days you didn’t have time to do it yourself. We knew that the simple action of embracing a plant-based diet held the potential to be our generation’s greatest contribution to ourselves and our planet. Each week, our culinary team (composed of former Michelin chefs) designs an array of delicious, crowd pleasing meals that just so happen to be made of plants. Simple Feast is B Corp™ certified B Corp™ is an international certification standard that defines success on the basis of inclusive and sustainable economics. As a certified B Corp™ we meet the highest verified standards of transparency, responsibility, sustainability and performance – all with the aim of generating value for the business and for society as a whole.
