Millions of research papers are published every year. They contain discoveries that save lives, protect the planet, and inspire technological breakthroughs. But today, scholarly publishing is coming up against some big challenges. Behind every paper is a tangle of mandates, fees, and licenses. And the systems used to manage these things are outdated. It leaves everyone involved up to their necks in confusing admin. As industry outsiders, we have the chance to take a shake things up. By building a user-friendly platform that simplifies this complexity through great design and powerful integrations. So authors, publishers, institutions, and funders can put their full focus on quality research. We’re an international team headquartered in Copenhagen, with a handful of employees working remotely from elsewhere in Europe and the US.

Leern udvikler fremtidens interne streaming-platform for at hjælpe ambitiøse virksomheder med at dræbe kedelig træning. Vi løser problemet med uengagerede medarbejdere ved hjælp af et lækkert, streaming-inspireret univers, der gør det lige så vanedannende at lære om virksomhedens strategi, som det er at se sin yndlingsserie. Lad os være ærlige: De fleste traditionelle læringssystemer (LMS) og intranet er digitale kirkegårde, hvor god viden dør. Det er et enormt problem. Når systemerne er tunge og ulogiske, holder medarbejderne op med at bruge dem. Det betyder dårlig onboarding af nye talenter, langsom vidensdeling og en kultur, der går i stå. Det rammer alle – fra den nyansatte, der føler sig overladt til sig selv, til ledelsen, der forgæves forsøger at rulle nye strategier ud. Vi har smidt de kedelige mappelister ud og erstattet dem med en visuel streaming-oplevelse. Leern er bygget til det moderne menneske. Vi gør det muligt for virksomheder at: - Skabe "binge-worthy" læringsrejser (f.eks. pre- og onboarding) på minutter, ikke dage. - Servere viden i korte, skarpe formater – video, lyd og tekst – som medarbejderne faktisk gider klikke på. - Samle alt i en lækker platform, så sælgeren kan lytte til seneste nyt i bilen, og den nyansatte kan se velkomstvideoen på sofaen. Det er corporate learning, der føles som fredag aften på sofaen, ikke mandag morgen på skolebænken. Vi fik nok af, at "work-tech" altid skal være grimmere og dårligere end den teknologi, vi bruger privat. Hvorfor skal det være en kamp at finde information på arbejdet, når det tager to sekunder på TV2 play eller Apple tv derhjemme? Vi startede Leern med en klar mission: At gøre op med kedelig software. Vi lukker kløften mellem arbejde og fritid ved at skabe et værktøj, der sætter brugeroplevelsen først. Vi gør det, fordi vi ved, at når læring bliver tilgængeligt og sjovt, så vokser både mennesker og bundlinjer.

Swöm is a Nordic safety tech startup addressing drowning, one of the leading causes of death. Through the use of sensor and wearable airbag technology we have developed smart swimwear which automatically inflates in a potential drowning situation. Our initial product focus on children with plans for further expansion into the active water lifestyle segments (surfers, swimmers, kayakers etc) through licensing of our technology to leading brands across the globe. We have over a 3 year R&D period developed a unique and patent pending wearable safety hardware platform and are now in the process of starting commercialisation as well as developing version two which includes the introduction of space tech to add a tracking and alarm feature to the product. Our funding comes from both investors as well as grants. We were born in the incubation program at the VC Antler and have received grants for instance from the European Space Agency and the Danish Innovation fund. Our headquarters are based at the DTU campus in Kongens Lyngby.

The Problem: What problem are you attempting to solve, and how big is it? Children suffering from school refusal systematically fall out of the education system because traditional teaching methods fail to meet their individual learning needs. Today, 110,000 children have experienced school refusal—equivalent to one in five students. This target group becomes isolated at home during their school years, which later leads to difficulties in securing and maintaining employment, costing society 2.2 billion annually. Research shows that the most critical factor for these students is restoring their self-confidence regarding learning; they need to experience learning as a positive activity and process the traumas that led to their school refusal (The Back2School Modular Cognitive Behavioral Intervention, 2024). Therefore, before attempting to reintegrate students into the physical school environment, it is crucial to rebuild their confidence and bring them up to the academic level of their peers to reduce feelings of stigmatization. The Solution: What is your idea? Describe your product or service. GradeAid is an AI agent that creates personalized learning experiences. Students simply scan their homework or verbalize what they wish to learn. Our AI then generates tailored content derived from pedagogically validated materials, specifically designed for children who lack academic confidence or have fallen behind. The system continuously learns from the student's interactions and automatically adapts the curriculum. This helps restore the self-confidence and joy of learning that many of these students lack, while ensuring the process is both personalized and fun. The platform features a 24/7 AI tutor providing instant feedback. Through gamification, students earn coins for their virtual pets. This approach was selected because research has long established that gamification effectively builds confidence and helps children re-engage with learning (Impact of gamification on school engagement: a systematic review, 2024). Instead of forcing the child to fit the system, our technology adapts to the child's way of learning. Our intention is to build confidence so that children find it easier to return to school, equipped with the mental energy to focus on social reintegration. The platform supports both English and Danish. We are currently testing the Danish version.

Tapp is developing a software-only POS suite—tap-on-phone payments, eshop self-order, Native AI data platforms, and AI-assisted menu/setup - to help small UK service businesses ditch expensive hardware POS, solve slow service and rising operating costs, and stay compliant by default, powered by our ultra-fast UX, AI onboarding, leading AI features, and embedded payments. Independent cafés, massage parlors, and any other service spots are squeezed by hardware terminals, clunky back-office flows, and staffing shortages—which translates to slower turnover, longer queues, and lost revenue. Operators also face VAT/receipt/tips complexity and card-data obligations that traditional POS doesn’t simplify. The market is crowded, but legacy and “one-size-fits-all” tools still mean slow UI, multi-minute setup, and rigid pricing. Our analysis of UK-relevant providers shows many still require dedicated hardware or fragmented QR solutions—creating cost, training, and integration friction for small teams. Whilst providing insights on all the data collected, without the user having to ask. Tapp replaces boxes and paper with a phone-first POS: - Tap-to-Pay on iPhone & Android: take contactless cards/Wallets directly on staff or owner smartphones—no reader required. Fully productised in our “Staff” flow. - QR self-order, eshop & pay: guests scan, order, tip, and receive receipts digitally; staff stay focused on giving the best service, not card machines. - AI onboarding & menu import: snap a menu or upload a file; Tapp auto-parses categories/items, generates a store description, and lets owners tweak with guardrails (VAT, pricing, tags, duration). - Built-in compliance for UK SMBs: support for e-receipts, VAT invoice scenarios, and transparent tip/service handling—plus card-data best-practice via our payments stack. - Embedded payments on Adyen: unified acquiring, wallet rails, refunds/chargebacks, payouts, and potential embedded finance/share—with clear IC++ economics and SoftPOS fees. - Elite performance: our internal tests show UX runs 2.7× faster LCP and 3.3× less blocking than a leading competitor—keeping staff in “flow” during rush. Why this wins: zero hardware CAPEX, minutes-not-weeks deployment, faster service cycles, and fewer receipt/VAT/tips headaches—all in a single app the team already knows how to use (their phone). Feature depth is production-ready across signup/KYC, menu, staff, orders, payout views, and refunds per our shipped user stories. Whilst (soon) providing industry-breaking intelligence to make the small merchants play in the big leagues. We started Tapp after watching small venues spend too much on terminals and too long wrestling slow software—only to still miss orders at peak. We dug into the UK compliance tangle (VAT, receipts, tips) and saw a chance to bake the rules into the workflow, not bolt them on. Then we validated the experience with hard performance data and a best-in-class payments partner so owners can serve more customers with less kit and less stress. That’s why we’re doing this: give time back to small operators with a POS that is fast, compliant, and delightfully simple.
