The main piece of equipment in the gym is the barbell. It is as simple in its form as it is timeless in its design. But when it comes to using the proper safety equipment that comes with the barbell, that’s when the flaws become visible. Today’s methods of securing weight plates to a barbell is done by using collars or clips, which often lead to a poor user experience, and they are often hard to put on and pull off, can easily break or slip during lifts, they are often hard to find and even disappears. The Olympic barbell has remained virtually the same for the last 93 years, and despite today’s standards, improvements can be made. In a seemingly ever-growing market, people’s expectations of safety, design, quality, and user-friendliness in products are on the rise. Gungnir of Norway is a Norwegian startup company that designs and manufactures high-quality gym equipment. The company’s first product is the Allrounder, a standard Olympic barbell with built-in collars for securing weight plates. The built-in collar system or “SlideLock” makes the lifting experience safer, faster, easier, and more reliable than the standard safety equipment in use today. Also, the SlideLock system can be applied to several other bar types like compact group training bars or loadable dumbbells. This solution has shown enormous potential in the fitness market, which we intend to continue to take advantage of. The SlideLock is the first of many solutions that we seek to create within the fitness equipment industry. We started as a company in 2018 in Oslo, Norway, with an idea for a better solution to a problem well known to many who use weightlifting equipment regularly. Gungnir’s vision is to become the new standard solution for securing weight plates worldwide. A game-changing solution to a century old problem.

IDUN audio is a Copenhagen-based startup developing spatial audio software for headphones, making them sound 3-dimensional, just like in real life. As humans we can naturally hear where sound is coming from, and how far away things are. But when listening with headphones we cannot use these abilities since all the sound is inside our heads. This is a very unnatural experience, making us tired at the end of the day. We are radically changing this with our breakthrough spatial audio technology using head tracking. With IDUNs technology running in the headphone, listening with headphones becomes as natural as in everyday situations.

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/
