S core Nordic is developing the next generation of hardware and software (the infrastructure layer) to help city planners and parking operators bridge the urban data gap and optimize spaces, using 100% GDPR-compliant radar technology and open APIs. The Problem Cities are building advanced digital services, but the physical infrastructure on our streets remains blind. Every day, billion-dollar decisions regarding urban planning and mobility are made based on outdated assumptions and manual measurements. This leads to inefficiently used spaces, unnecessary search traffic, and increased CO2 emissions. Our Solution: The Digital Asphalt Our battery-powered mmWave sensors and Edge Computing continuously gather structured data on occupancy and flows in real-time. By using radar technology instead of cameras, the system is completely anonymous. Data is transmitted via our cloud architecture (PFind) and seamlessly integrated into the existing systems of municipalities and operators. Our Why We were founded on a simple but frustrating insight: A modern city cannot be managed by gut feeling, and citizen privacy must never be compromised to gather data. Our driving force is to give cities the right tools to govern themselves and reach their climate goals, entirely without mass surveillance. Now, we are building the team to make this a reality.

ABOUT Insurance is one of the biggest recurring household costs - yet the market is built on complexity: dense policies, hard comparisons, and increasingly individualised pricing with little transparency. The result is predictable: people overpay for years, miss critical coverage, or both - and often only find out when it's too late. We're building the consumer layer for private insurance, making it behave like a modern product. Upload your policies and, in under a minute, our AI turns fine print into clear answers: where you're over- or underinsured, where the gaps are, and where you're likely paying too much. We benchmark each policy against an anonymised pool of real policies to recommend better-matched alternatives - shifting knowledge and pricing power back to households. We're early-stage, moving fast, and already proving the need: 50+ customer interviews, 10 households switched, ~28% average savings while improving coverage - plus validation from senior industry professionals, a top-performing insurance salesperson on the team, and initial pre-seed backing from a Bain & Company partner.

EquaFish is a company developing the only complete decision-making tool for fish farm operation. The AquaCulture industry is facing mass mortality and decreased yields as a result of knowledge and data being fragmented througout the farm. One facility usually have 10-15 different systems, Excell sheets and notes where only 10-15% of the functionality is actually used. EquaFish streamlines, process and visualize the data so that every employee, no matter role, understand the plan, status and future of the production. This $140B problem is faced by salmon farmers, telapia, halibut, shellfish and char farmers all alike. The tech is the same, even though the species is not. EquaFish has a SaaS solution bringing all growth, water quality, mortality and feed data into one, exploiting mathematical and statistical data processing to find causes and effects, which the fish farmer can act upon. The result is higher yield with reduced risks in the production, increased effiency, knowledge sharing and learning with the employees. Finally fish produced in more stable environments with less risk of death and non-friendly conditions. EquaFish was startet on the belief that one of the biggest industries deserve the newest and best tools. The time of post-it notes, Excell and systems from the 90s died 15years ago and the AquaCulture industry didnt get the memo. So if you want to create real change for a sustainable, profitable and animal friendly industry, EquaFish is the place that gets that done.

Dimmi is an early-stage Danish legaltech SaaS start-up revolutionising how European companies navigate the complexities of immigration law across the European Union. Companies across Europe are increasingly in need of international labour and talent.

From guiding users through the most viable visa track, deadlines, and documentation requirements, Dimmi empowers companies to file compliant applications to the authorities faster, cheaper and with higher rates of compliance.

The project is funded by Lighthouse, University of Copenhagen’s innovation centre and currently based at the University of Copenhagen.

Danish Development Research Network (DDRN) is a non-governmental organization comprising individual and institutional members based in any country. Membership is open to researchers, students, aid practitioners, consultants, private and public entities and others who are involved in the generation, communication and application of knowledge to support sustainable development in the Global South countries. There is a wide gap between North and South in research as a resource for development. According to the UNESCO Science Report 2015, low income countries had 121 researchers per 1 mill. inhabitants, as opposed to high income countries with 3,814 researchers per 1 mill. inhabitants in 2013. During the same year, 1,363,074 scientific articles were published by researchers in OECD member states, as compared to only 3,909 articles by researchers in low income countries. Global challenges call for joint research to retrieve and combine data across North-South divides. The mutual interests between South and North researchers in exploring global solutions set agendas for research beyond conventional development studies. The emphasis in Denmark on innovation holds a potential for a broad engagement with South countries towards the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Research by South researchers working in Denmark provides knowledge resources for South-North public and private partnerships.

Built by Builders for Builders - to tackle the productivity challenge in construction The Problem Construction productivity has been stuck for four decades. We believe this is because the process is broken. In other words, AI, robotics, or hammering faster won’t increase productivity until the underlying process is fixed.

Unlike traditional project management, Sitedrive uses location-based schedules to control and optimize tasks, resources, logistics, finances, and site conditions. This creates a single source of truth for all stakeholders, ensuring everyone stays on the same page and improvements are made continuously.
