Tapp

Tapp is developing a software-only POS suite—tap-on-phone payments, eshop self-order, Native AI data platforms, and AI-assisted menu/setup - to help small UK service businesses ditch expensive hardware POS, solve slow service and rising operating costs, and stay compliant by default, powered by our ultra-fast UX, AI onboarding, leading AI features, and embedded payments. Independent cafés, massage parlors, and any other service spots are squeezed by hardware terminals, clunky back-office flows, and staffing shortages—which translates to slower turnover, longer queues, and lost revenue. Operators also face VAT/receipt/tips complexity and card-data obligations that traditional POS doesn’t simplify. The market is crowded, but legacy and “one-size-fits-all” tools still mean slow UI, multi-minute setup, and rigid pricing. Our analysis of UK-relevant providers shows many still require dedicated hardware or fragmented QR solutions—creating cost, training, and integration friction for small teams. Whilst providing insights on all the data collected, without the user having to ask. Tapp replaces boxes and paper with a phone-first POS: - Tap-to-Pay on iPhone & Android: take contactless cards/Wallets directly on staff or owner smartphones—no reader required. Fully productised in our “Staff” flow. - QR self-order, eshop & pay: guests scan, order, tip, and receive receipts digitally; staff stay focused on giving the best service, not card machines. - AI onboarding & menu import: snap a menu or upload a file; Tapp auto-parses categories/items, generates a store description, and lets owners tweak with guardrails (VAT, pricing, tags, duration). - Built-in compliance for UK SMBs: support for e-receipts, VAT invoice scenarios, and transparent tip/service handling—plus card-data best-practice via our payments stack. - Embedded payments on Adyen: unified acquiring, wallet rails, refunds/chargebacks, payouts, and potential embedded finance/share—with clear IC++ economics and SoftPOS fees. - Elite performance: our internal tests show UX runs 2.7× faster LCP and 3.3× less blocking than a leading competitor—keeping staff in “flow” during rush. Why this wins: zero hardware CAPEX, minutes-not-weeks deployment, faster service cycles, and fewer receipt/VAT/tips headaches—all in a single app the team already knows how to use (their phone). Feature depth is production-ready across signup/KYC, menu, staff, orders, payout views, and refunds per our shipped user stories. Whilst (soon) providing industry-breaking intelligence to make the small merchants play in the big leagues. We started Tapp after watching small venues spend too much on terminals and too long wrestling slow software—only to still miss orders at peak. We dug into the UK compliance tangle (VAT, receipts, tips) and saw a chance to bake the rules into the workflow, not bolt them on. Then we validated the experience with hard performance data and a best-in-class payments partner so owners can serve more customers with less kit and less stress. That’s why we’re doing this: give time back to small operators with a POS that is fast, compliant, and delightfully simple.

Innovation Roundtable

At Innovation Roundtable, our focus is on helping large multinational companies navigate one of their biggest challenges: innovating in complex, fast-changing environments. While most corporates understand the need to innovate, a lack of cross-functional collaboration, and difficulty translating new ideas into real business impact. We bring senior executives together across industries and geographies to share experiences, learn from each other, and explore practical approaches to innovation, digital transformation, and organizational change. By creating a trusted, peer-to-peer network through our Summits, workshops, and online community, we solve the problem of isolation and limited perspective that innovation leaders often face in their own companies. Our mission is simple: to make innovation in large firms less of a struggle and more of a shared journey, supported by learning, collaboration, and real-world insights.

Horaizon

Horaizon is an AI consulting and product company helping organisations turn the hype around artificial intelligence into measurable business outcomes. The problem we see every day is twofold: • Uncertainty — businesses know AI will change how they operate but don’t know where to start. • Inefficiency — companies waste time and money experimenting with generic tools that don’t address their specific needs. At Horaizon, we bridge that gap by working alongside organisations as if they were our own. We design and implement AI systems that are cost-effective, secure, and directly aligned with their workflows, from reducing customer support costs by 10x to automating time-consuming financial processes. Whether a client comes to us with excitement or hesitation about AI, our role is the same: to provide clarity, trust, and results, helping them adapt and scale in a future where AI is not optional but essential.

We create cohesion through networking activities, community-building efforts, and targeted international engagement. Our focus is on raising the visibility of Danish space companies and connecting them to people and opportunities that matter. A Changing Sector The space sector is moving fast.

Our approach is flexible and changing to the demands of our members and the sector. Why We Started Space Denmark was founded to fill a gap.

We built something that could grow with the sector – simply focused on bringing a new level of ambition to Denmark's space sector.

BirdsatFive

At BirdsAtFive, we’re building Birdie – a platform that finally fixes the biggest reason most AI tools fail in B2B marketing: bad input. AI can write fast, but if it doesn’t know your brand, your market, your goals, or your customers — it just makes things up. That’s a huge risk for marketing teams trying to move fast and stay on-message. Birdie changes that. We structure all of a company’s GTM knowledge — from strategy decks and sales insights to product positioning and audience research — and use it to power AI tools that create content that’s on-strategy, on-brand, and actually useful. We’re not building generic chatbots. We’re building the execution engine modern B2B teams need to go from idea to campaign — with AI that doesn’t guess, but understands.

Dalea

Dalea delivers a data platform for research within BioPharma and Life Sciences, providing familiar tools and a frictionless migration for researchers. Researchers forecast industry data volumes will double within 1 year, yet 60% of data is currently still stored on personal computers or in physical notebooks. Despite this issue, there is a clear market gap; two thirds of researchers within the field are dissatisfied with existing options on the market today. This is a major challenge for data replication and scientific collaboration. It stifles the value of created data and greatly inhibits discovery. Larger BioPharma companies resort to re-running experiments, as a faster alternative to looking up results. The market size for Electronic Notebooks and Laboratory Information Management Systems is expected to double in the next 10 years, with industry leaders breaking a staggering $6 billion valuation. Dalea is entirely EU-based, ensuring current and future compliance and data security. Our Academic version launches this Autumn, with an initial customer base secured through partnerships with leading academic labs. Ready to revolutionize research data? Explore our open roles and join us on the front lines of scientific innovation.

GLAZE Technologies

GLAZE Technologies turns raw data into “material intelligence.” Across energy, aerospace, and manufacturing, critical components can fail because decision-makers can’t see what’s happening inside their materials until it’s too late. Today they must choose between expensive lab testing or flying blind on the factory floor. We solve that gap with Carmen, our patented, real-time sensor platform that reveals a material’s composition, defects, and degradation at industrial speed and scale. Powered by breakthrough terahertz technology, Carmen spots micro-cracks in wind-turbine blades before they splinter, verifies satellite parts for the European Space Agency, and will soon help any production line certify quality without stopping the line. Why does it matter? Because better material insight means safer infrastructure, fewer recalls, less waste, and a faster transition to a sustainable, high-performance world. We’ve proven the tech in pilots with global consortia; now we’re scaling the business. and looking for bold minds to join the journey.

Affluency

Affluency is an AI-powered Co-Pilot for traders and investors, a platform that combines advanced trade journaling, personal development, and real-time feedback to help users achieve both financial and mental mastery. We’re solving a major problem in the trading world: Most traders don’t fail due to poor strategy, they fail due to a lack of discipline, emotional control, and self-analysis. Our platform collects and analyzes trading data, emotional patterns, and behavioral decisions to deliver AI-generated insights in real-time. Through interactive widgets, structured checklists, and psychological feedback, Affluency becomes a daily companion that helps users grow, not only as traders, but as individuals. We are bridging the gap between technical trading and mental performance, a connection that has been largely overlooked in the market. Why now? The timing has never been better. The global surge in retail trading and investing combined with the rise of AI has created a massive demand for smarter, more personalized trading tools. Millions of traders are entering the market, yet most platforms still focus only on technical features, ignoring the psychological and behavioral aspects that truly define long-term success. At the same time, the fintech ecosystem is rapidly evolving, and users now expect intelligent, real-time support that adapts to their unique trading behavior and emotional patterns. Affluency is at the intersection of these trends. By launching now, we meet a growing demand for tools that go beyond charts and indicators, tools that help traders master their discipline, emotions, and strategic decision-making through AI-driven insights and personal development. We’re not just riding a wave, we’re shaping the next generation of trading platforms.

Monii konto ApS

Monii is a danish fintech company with a vision to build Gen. 2.0 digital bank targeted micro businesses in Europe. Via a Banking-as-a-Service model we can integrate an unlimited amount of financial services into our banking platform via API integrations. This gives us the possibility to customize a digital bank that and integrate the specific financial services which these customers need to run their business today. For decades newly started businesses, in large part of Europe, has been discarded by traditional incumbent banks. Many have been declined when applying for a basic business bank account and small business loans. We are here to change that! We want to ensure financial inclusion for all micro businesses in Europe, both newly started businesses and existing micro businesses. The segment is severely underserved in many markets and they are struggling to get serviced by current players. The competitions is very low in this segment, despite the segment accounting for 22,8 million micro businesses in Europe. The potential is huge and we are seizing the opportunity! Our mission: We want to ensure financial inclusion and fairness by utilizing the new BaaS banking technology to create a unique product, tailored to micro businesses in Europe. What is Banking as a Service (BaaS)? BaaS is a model that allows non-bank businesses (like Monii) to offer financial services by integrating bank products through APIs. It enables companies to provide banking-like services without becoming a licensed bank.   How BaaS model works? BaaS allows non-banking businesses to offer financial services through licensed banks. Unlike traditional banking, where only banks provide services, BaaS enables companies—like FinTechs or retailers—to integrate banking features directly into their products. This model opens up multiple revenue streams while letting customers enjoy seamless financial solutions, such as payments, loans, and digital wallets, without leaving their favorite platforms (Monii platform).
