CircuCity

CircuCity is a circular e-commerce platform built to make sustainable consumption easier, more practical, and honestly, more appealing in everyday life. At its core, it is a marketplace where people can buy and sell second-hand items alongside new sustainable products, all within one ecosystem designed to extend product life cycles. But it’s not just about transactions. It’s about shifting habits. The problem we are addressing is rooted in the linear economy — the “take, make, dispose” model that still dominates global consumption patterns. Products are manufactured, purchased, used briefly, and discarded, often long before their functional life ends. This cycle drives resource depletion, carbon emissions, and growing waste streams. At the same time, consumers are becoming more aware of environmental challenges. Many want to make better choices, but the systems around them are fragmented and inconvenient. Second-hand markets exist, of course. But they are often scattered across multiple platforms, inconsistent in quality, and sometimes lacking trust. Sustainable alternatives, on the other hand, can be expensive or difficult to find. As a result, the intention to consume responsibly frequently clashes with convenience, price, and habit. People default to what is easiest — and that often means buying new, fast, and disposable. CircuCity bridges this gap. We provide a unified, user-friendly platform where circular choices are not an afterthought but the default. By integrating resale, reuse, and sustainable new products into one marketplace, we reduce friction in the decision-making process. Users can extend the life of items they no longer need, discover quality second-hand goods, and support more responsible brands — all in one place. Beyond functionality, we are building incentives into the system. Through mechanisms such as reward points, engagement challenges, and community features, CircuCity makes sustainable behavior visible and rewarding. The goal is not to lecture or guilt consumers into better habits. It is to design a system where circular consumption feels natural, economically sensible, and even motivating. Why does this matter? Because structural change requires behavioral change, and behavioral change requires better infrastructure. People cannot be expected to consistently choose sustainability if the systems around them prioritize speed and disposability. By making circular options more accessible, trustworthy, and engaging, we aim to shift consumption patterns at scale. CircuCity is not claiming to solve overconsumption overnight. But we believe that by extending product lifespans, reducing unnecessary waste, and empowering conscious consumers, we can contribute to a more regenerative economic model. In the long run, small individual decisions — when supported by the right platform — can accumulate into meaningful systemic impact. That is the space we operate in: practical sustainability, built into everyday commerce.

Reign of Gaia

We are on a mission to provide sustainable clothing that lasts, all made by women, for women. Our journey began with the challenge of finding feminine shirts that catered to the diverse shapes and sizes of the female body, without compromising on comfort or design. It was this pursuit of the perfect shirt, coupled with our desire to make a positive impact on the planet, that gave birth to the concept of REIGN OF GAIA.

By choosing REIGN OF GAIA, you can feel confident that you are making a positive choice for the environment and supporting women-led businesses.

Tid

Tid is a watch startup challenging the assumption that products should be designed for a single, default body and identity. Most watches are built around narrow aesthetic and ergonomic norms, leaving many people adapting themselves to the object rather than the other way around. We design unconventional, modular timepieces that prioritize fit, expression, and personal meaning over tradition. The problem we solve is not accuracy of timekeeping, but relevance: creating objects that reflect diverse bodies, lives, and ways of being in the world.

SIS: Sisters In Startup

Sisters In Startup (SIS) is a platform built to close the gender gap in entrepreneurship. Our mission is to empower women by bridging the gap between their entrepreneurial ambitions and the opportunities needed to succeed. Too often, female founders face structural barriers: lack of access to funding, networks, and mentorship. At SIS, we’re creating a digital ecosystem that changes that. Through curated resources, funding guides, community support, and actionable tools, we make it easier for women to turn ideas into sustainable businesses. SIS combines education, community, and funding readiness in one place, offering practical templates, founder stories, and growth programs tailored to each stage of the entrepreneurial journey. We believe entrepreneurship should be accessible to everyone, not just those who already have connections or capital. That’s why we’re building SIS: a space where women founders can learn, connect, and grow together. Our platform will officially launch in 2026 and is currently in development. We’re looking for a passionate co-founder who shares our vision and wants to help shape the future of female entrepreneurship in Europe (and beyond).

GoZeek

GoZeek – Curiosity at its core GoZeek is a mission-driven startup using digital tools to spark children's natural curiosity and connect them with the cultural world around them. At the heart of GoZeek is a belief that curiosity is a powerful learning driver. Yet today, many children grow up disconnected from cultural experiences, especially those who don’t naturally find their way to museums, galleries, or libraries. We’re here to change that. GoZeek transforms cities and cultural spaces into playful discovery zones through simple, visual missions. Using our app, children explore their surroundings, solve small challenges, and see everyday places with new eyes – while building confidence and familiarity with cultural environments. For parents or grandparents, GoZeek is a tool to offer meaningful, cultural experiences that can be shared across generations. No need to be an expert – just be curious together. For museums, libraries, and cities, GoZeek provides a scalable and flexible way to reach a young audience, gather insights, and create new cultural access points. Because our solution is digital at its core, we’re uniquely positioned to generate insights across locations, users, and contexts. Whether a child explores a small town or a major museum, we can analyze behavior patterns, preferences, and engagement levels – offering valuable feedback to cultural institutions and urban planners alike. This cross-cutting perspective makes GoZeek a powerful tool not just for experiences, but for understanding them. We're building something unique: a digital product that supports analog discovery, designed to grow across locations, languages, and institutions. If you're passionate about children’s learning, cultural access, and the power of good digital design – GoZeek might be your next big adventure. Join us and help curiosity lead the way.

Swed Fintech AB

Swed Fintech AB is developing tech-driven investor outreach and capital allocation programs to help emerging finance talent bridge the gap between academic theory and professional practice through advanced, systematic learning. There is a critical gap between traditional finance education and the demands of a modern, technology-driven investment ecosystem. Many talented individuals struggle to translate academic knowledge into real-world investor relations, capital allocation, and relationship management skills. This problem affects graduates, career changers, and even early-stage professionals — limiting their ability to build successful careers and slowing innovation in the financial sector.

Interns work side-by-side with senior professionals to gain firsthand exposure to capital raising, investor outreach, and allocator psychology, while also interacting with modern CRM systems, outreach automations, and AI-based research tools. We blend human skills with technology to deliver a transformative learning experience rooted in Nordic excellence and strategic thinking. At Swed Fintech AB, we believe humanity will thrive in a future where fintech, automation, and AI transform 99% of repetitive tasks — freeing people to focus on higher-value problem solving and innovation. Seeing how many young finance professionals struggle to access practical, meaningful opportunities, we were inspired to bridge this gap by combining world-class training with technology-driven solutions. We are motivated by a mission to transform humanity through excellence in frontier research and technology, helping shape a better financial, healthcare, and learning landscape for everyone.

ABchar

ABchar is developing a new type of pyrolysis reactor, affordable heating and the possibility of small-scale biochar production, adapted to agriculture.. This will help achieve the goal of a 40% reduction in emissions from the agricultural sector. What is pyrolysis? Simply put, this is the heating of an organic material without access to oxygen. This leads to a series of reactions that ultimately result in 3 main products; biochar, oil and gas. We want to utilize the biochar in this process. The oil and gas will be burned and the heat from this will be used to dry grain, heat barns, greenhouses, residential buildings and other things that need heat on a farm. Why pyrolysis and biochar? Plants absorb CO2 from the air around us through photosynthesis. They are actually extremely good at this too. The residual product is mainly oxygen and the plant material. The great thing about pyrolysis is that we are able to separate water, oxygen and hydrogen from the plant material and we are left with more or less pure carbon 80% +. This is carbon from the air! If we take this coal and spread it on our agricultural land, it will be stored there for up to 1000 years and perhaps longer. In some cases, the soil will become more fertile and less vulnerable to periods of too much or too little water.

ReWind

We develop a software product for energy companies and wind developers to guide the end-of-life phase of wind farms. Our mission is to accelerate wind energy renewal and ensure no components end up in landfill.
