Cobrief is developing an AI-powered public procurement platform to help businesses across all industries find, evaluate, and win government tenders — replacing manual, time-consuming bid processes with intelligent automation that acts like having an extra colleague on the team. Public procurement represents over 800 billion NOK annually in Norway alone, yet the average government tender receives only around 3–5 bids. In nearly 20% of tenders, only one or zero suppliers submit a bid. The reason: tender data is scattered across closed platforms, the process is complex, and small businesses lack the resources to keep up. Suppliers can't find the opportunities, or give up because the process is too complicated. The result is less competition, worse deals for taxpayers, and lost revenue for businesses that could have won. Cobrief aggregates public tenders from procurement databases across Scandinavia, Finland, and Germany — including Doffin, TED, Udbud, and Hilma — into a single searchable platform. AI-powered matching scores every opportunity against each company's profile, sending relevant alerts via email, Slack, or Teams. When a team decides to bid, an AI writing module drafts proposal responses from a knowledge base of past submissions. Automated price sheet filling pulls from product catalogs, and CV matching identifies the right personnel. A Bid Manager Agent provides autonomous support throughout the entire process — functioning as an AI colleague from evaluation to submission. Teams collaborate in shared workspaces with task boards, deadline calendars, and role-based access. Used by 1,500+ companies, with a free plan to get started. The founders experienced firsthand how broken the public procurement process is for suppliers. Tender data that should be freely and directly accessible by law is in practice locked behind commercial platforms, creating unnecessary barriers to competition. They saw that businesses — especially SMBs — were missing out on opportunities worth billions simply because the system was too opaque and complex. Cobrief was built to fix that: make public tenders accessible, understandable, and winnable for every business. Beyond the product, the team is actively advocating for open procurement data in Norway through anbudsdata.no, pushing for systemic change so that public tender data is truly open — not just in theory, but in practice.

We are enabling true automated drone fleets by introducing infrastructure, which is so far missing entirely. It is a compact, multi-use and patent pending docking station / nest for fleets of drones. Currently other companies are focused on "drone-in-a-box" solutions, so this will change the landscape as fleets of drones are needed. It is just too slow/costly/inefficient/cumbersome to manage everything manually or having a field of boxes for fleets.

RestfulBlanket is a Danish company that runs social projects while developing and producing organisk weighted blankets and sensory weighted products designed to create calm in the body and improve sleep. We work at the intersection of mental wellbeing, social responsibility, and practical solutions for people whose nervous systems do not easily settle. Our focus is on people living with anxiety, ADHD, trauma, stress, and sensory overload, as well as families supporting children with similar challenges. For many, sleep is not just a routine, but a daily struggle shaped by a body that stays in alarm. That is the problem we exist to address. Our products are developed from lived experience and built around natural materials. Each blanket is filled with heat-treated rapeseed and sewn in breathable cotton, creating a quiet, formable, and temperature-regulating pressure that adapts to the body rather than resisting it. The goal is not just weight, but a specific kind of grounded, even pressure that helps the body feel safe enough to release tension. The result is a sensory experience often described as a calm, steady embrace rather than a heavy object. At the same time, RestfulBlanket is a registered socialøkonomisk virksomhed. Our production takes place in a small, structured workshop in Denmark, where we create meaningful employment and training opportunities for people with psychological vulnerability or neurodivergence. The work is organised with high predictability, low sensory load, and strong relational support, allowing individuals to contribute in a real production environment while building stability and confidence. Beyond our workshop, we run social initiatives such as collaborations with crisis centres, where weighted blankets are used as a practical tool to support women and children after violence. In these contexts, the blanket is not presented as a product, but as a simple, physical anchor that can help the body find a first sense of safety and rest. Our mission is to build something more than a product range. We are working to establish a trusted Danish reference point for natural, body-based calm. That means combining material quality, transparent communication, and real-world impact. We do not position ourselves as a quick fix or a medical solution, but as a grounded, evidence-aware alternative that supports the nervous system in a way people can actually feel. By connecting production, people, and purpose, RestfulBlanket exists to create more ro, more tryghed, and more sustainable ways for individuals and families to live with less internal pressure and better sleep.

Zerify is developing SafeCall to help individuals and businesses solve the global problem of phone fraud and lack of digital trust with verified calls using BankID. The problem is that phone scams deceive thousands of people every year, causing a breakdown in trust where people no longer know if the person calling is genuine. With the rise of AI, this has become even harder, as technology enables realistic voice clones that can mimic a parent, a boss, or remove language barriers for scammers. "No verification = no trust," meaning people are afraid to share sensitive information over the phone. We are building technology to make digital trust possible. Our solution is SafeCall, an app where you call with a verified identity by using BankID to authenticate the call. For businesses, we offer SafeCall Business, allowing companies to verify their calls so customers feel safe to answer, thereby strengthening the trust between company and customer. We are "Swishifying" (swedish app Swish) telephony to make verified communication the new normal, where unverified calls are ignored just like we avoid clicking on unknown links today. Our vision is to make the digital world safe, credible, and human. The motivation comes from a desire to protect people and companies against fraud, AI manipulation, and false information. We believe that IT should not be complicated; it should be easy to use correctly. By creating solutions like SafeCall, we aim to be a driving force towards a safer digital Europe where trust is a given, not a risk.

We are an early-stage company developing retail software for the global watch and jewellery industry.

Kirppu er danskejet og er Danmarks første og største loppesupermarkedskæde med 34 butikker fordelt over det meste af landet. Et besøg i Kirppu er en god mulighed for at erhverve sig dét, man står og mangler – både til fest og hverdag. Kædens stande byder på rigtig mange dagligdagsting - alt fra tøj, tallerkner, madkasser, legetøj osv. Hvert år skifter mere end 5 millioner genbrugsvarer hænder i Kirppus butikker, og virksomheden omsætter årligt for trecifret millionbeløb. Virksomheden blev grundlagt i 2014 af Morten Bøjland og Claus Andreassen, der åbnede den første butik i Hillerød. Siden da har Kirppu været med til at forme det danske genbrugsmarked og gjort det enkelt og overskueligt for privatpersoner at købe og sælge brugte varer i et professionelt butiksformat. Inspirationen til Kirppu kom oprindeligt fra Finland, hvor idéen om at samle stande i én stor butik blev født. Kirppu betyder ”loppe” på finsk. I dag er Kirppu en etableret detailkæde i Danmark, der kombinerer lokalt engagement med en voksende national tilstedeværelse og en ambition om at være danskernes foretrukne sted at handle genbrug.

Kihleo is a medtech startup developing an early warning system for urinary tract infections in older people with incontinence receiving care at home or in nursing homes. UTIs are one of the most common reasons for acute deterioration, confusion, and hospitalisation in this group. They are challenging to detect early, because symptoms are often vague, many older people cannot clearly communicate discomfort, and home care staff and nurses have minimal time. Today, detection is primarily reactive. Staff notice that something is wrong, then order urine tests and start treatment when the infection is already well underway. This leads to unnecessary suffering, avoidable admissions, and a high use of antibiotics. Kihleo’s solution is a small sensor placed in the diaper that measures biomarkers in the urine every time the person voids. When the diaper is changed, the sensor is read, and data is sent to a secure backend. Algorithms and predictive models analyse patterns over time and provide early, trustworthy indications that an infection may be developing, days before clinical symptoms are usually recognised. The system is not a diagnostic tool. It is a decision-support and early-warning system that integrates into existing workflows and helps staff decide when to look more closely, consult a nurse or doctor, and perform standard diagnostic tests. The value is threefold. For older people, it means faster and more targeted treatment, fewer severe infections, less confusion, and a better day-to-day quality of life. For relatives and care staff, it provides reassurance, objective data, and more time for actual care rather than crisis management. For the public sector, it helps prevent avoidable hospitalisations and complications that are both expensive and resource-intensive. Kihleo is working with a hardware partner on sensor development and is already in dialogue with Danish municipalities about pilot projects. The long-term vision is to create a scalable, data-driven platform for early detection of infections and other complications in elderly care, using everyday materials like diapers as non-invasive data sources.

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.
