Paint'R

In the European Union alone, more than 1.5 million paint buckets are discarded daily, constituting a disposal of 340 tons of single-use plastic that is incinerated each day. Starting from early 2023 (2025 in Denmark and Slovenia), manufacturers are obligated to cover the disposal costs of their packaging based on sustainability criteria. In Denmark, this translates to an estimated 15% fee on paint buckets. Furthermore, the conventional round shape of packaging has proven suboptimal for logistics and transportation. Beyond its environmental impact, the traditional paint bucket poses challenges for professional painters. These challenges encompass ergonomic issues during handling, such as the strain of lifting two buckets simultaneously, which exceeds recommended weight limits according to the Working Environment Authority. Painters also find themselves in awkward positions when pouring paint into a roller bucket for wall application. The demanding physical nature of the painting profession in Denmark results in accelerated fatigue and early retirement for painters. Additionally, issues like lid leakage due to dried paint and the use of fragile, porous plastic contribute to unexpected spills, particularly during abrupt vehicle stops. Our innovative solution involves a cardboard box housing two patent-pending plastic bags, each containing 5 liters of paint. This packaging not only enhances the workflow for professional painters but also reduces costs and lowers carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions by approximately 65% per unit. The box's design facilitates easy and ergonomic transportation, allowing for a 45% increase in units per pallet. The box is opened, and one of the bags is inserted into a standard roller bucket used by painters. The bag effortlessly opens and seamlessly fits into the roller bucket, wrapping around the edges, and enabling the painter to begin work promptly. This functionality is made possible through an innovative patented design and specific plastic welding techniques.

Qluent

Qluent enables everyone to access data insights easily by leveraging Generative AI to handle the complex task of extracting data from databases. What is Qluent? Qluent is a smart business analytics assistant, designed to enable non-technical users to access, explore and gain insights from their business data. It leverages the power of large language models (LLM), which are powering services such as ChatGPT, enabling users to interact with their data in a fully natural language environment, without any additional learning. What sets it apart from other LLM-based services is that it is connected to your business data sources, and uses that live data when answering questions, instead of being pre-trained on a static dataset. How does Qluent work? All data sources, such as SQL databases or data providing APIs, define a language for querying them. Qluent is trained to transform natural language questions into queries for these data sources, and then additionally trained to query your business data source in particular, with the awareness of the data objects (e.g. SQL tables, columns, or API query fields) this data source holds. When users ask a question, Qluent first translates it into a query for the data source, and then executes it on the data source, returning the results to the user. Additionally, Qluent provides users with an explanation of how the question was understood and how the query that was generated actually works, allowing users to understand how the system works interpreted their question and letting them guide the answering process with precision.

Global Security Job ApS

Global Security Job ApS – A New Digital Foundation for Security and Emergency Readiness Global Security Job ApS is a Danish startup with a global outlook. We are building a new type of digital infrastructure designed to make it easier, faster, and more trustworthy to recruit and match individuals to mission-critical roles in defense, security, and emergency sectors. As the world faces increasing complexity, instability, and risk, the need for reliable, vetted, and mission-ready professionals continues to grow. At the same time, traditional recruitment models are not built to handle the specific demands of this sector—where roles may include protecting critical infrastructure, supporting military operations, assisting in humanitarian crises, or coordinating emergency responses. That’s where we come in. Global Security Job is designed to solve the unique challenges that arise at the intersection of people, security, and operational systems. Our mission is to enable authorities, organizations, and private actors to identify and engage with highly qualified and trusted personnel—locally, regionally, and internationally. Our platform is developed with deep domain insight and a clear vision: to deliver a scalable, adaptable, and ethically sound solution that meets the operational and compliance needs of the security sector. We are committed to professionalism, transparency, and building real-world tools that matter in situations where there is no room for error. We believe digital tools should empower decision-makers—not replace them. That’s why our focus is on creating a secure, human-centered platform that supports intelligent recruitment and resource allocation in complex and high-stakes environments. We’ve already built and validated a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) that aligns with the needs of this niche market. Our next steps involve launching and refining the platform through real-world pilots, followed by strategic international expansion. Global Security Job is not just about recruitment—it’s about securing the right people for the right missions when it matters most. We’re not just building a company; we’re laying the groundwork for the future of global security infrastructure.

SecondSale

🌍 What We Do: We're all about giving fashion brands real data on resale. 🌱 Why It Matters: Clothing is the 4th most polluting industry worldwide. Resale is the best way to act sustainably - every time a piece of clothing is resold, its lifetime extends, reducing carbon footprints. The problem is fashion brands have no idea how much of their apparel is resold, who buys and sells, at what price, etc. 💁🏼‍♀️ Our Value Prop: SecondSale provide brands unparalleled insights into (re)used clothing. We're helping brands not only reduce their environmental impact but also communicate about their sustainability initiatives without greenwashing. 📊 Our Offerings: A comprehensive dashboard that makes sense of a brand's resale sustainability impact. From detailed CO2-saving overviews to customized reports that can be directly inserted into CSR statements, our platform offers actionable insights, all backed by real-time data from fashion resale platforms. 💬 What beta-customers are saying: "SecondSale can help us encourage our community to shop more responsibly, and give us a way to talk about concrete sustainability outcomes backed by real data, and that's really exciting for us." /Head of CSR at a prominent Danish fashion brand. 🚀 Where we are at: We've validated the idea with clients, have a business plan and design in place. Next step for us is an MVP, partnerships and eventually fundraising. We're on a mission to increase second-hand, redefine how brands approach sustainability in fashion. 💡 What's the potential (thanks for reading this far): Here's the thing. The fashion industry is hopelessly outdated when it comes to data. At the same time, there is a slew of new sustainability legislation coming from EU right now. And customers are increasingly turning to second-hand platforms. Beyond a dashboard, fashion brands need a solution to connect them to buyers and sellers on second-hand platforms. To add a customer touchpoint on resale sites that have a serious amount of traffic. Eventually, that's where we come in. If you want to be part of this, reach out!

Hume Agency

At Hume Agency, we hate buzzwords. We do Personal & Employer branding, but that's mainly a label we slap on our website to make decision-makers quickly understand the scope we're dealing with. Let's get to it. We help CEOs, Founders, Consultants, and key people build their personal brand on LI (Personal brand = Your online presence). We help companies build their employer brand.

We formulate a strategy that positions them strongly in their market, build the content calendar, strengthen their networks, and write content for them through our content writers. It all results in increased visibility, a stronger voice, and better opportunities coming their way. Who are we? Two founders, Johannes & Jonas, our first full-time employee, Christian, and a network of creatives who truly get it. Our office is right at the center of Frederiksberg. It's called Copenhagen School of Entrepreneurship – filled with startups pushing boundaries, just like us. We're moving into a new office 1st of July 2025 near Reffen and La Banchina.
