Hos CloZer ønsker vi at støtte lokale tøjbutikker ved at skabe en ekstra online salgskanal for dem. CloZer skaber bekvemmelighed for forbrugere ved at identificere tøjet i de lokale butikker inden for et givent område. Endvidere giver CloZer mulighed for at forbrugere kan vælge at hente deres ordre eller få den leveret. Ved at samle et bredt udvalg af tøj under én platform, og dermed yderligere synliggøre lokale butikker, kan forbrugere bliver højere påvirket til at købe lokalt i stedet for via større platforme. Vi mener at sammen står lokale tøjbutikker stærkere. Kort sagt er CloZer en ”Just-Eat” udelukkende for de lokale tøjbutikker.

Cimalys helps Danish and Nordic companies put AI to work: safely, practically, and without hiring an AI team. Most companies with 20–300 employees know AI matters. Their staff already use ChatGPT, but with no policy, no approved tools and no idea where it actually saves time. Since February 2025, the EU AI Act has also required them to ensure their staff's AI literacy. Big consultancies are too expensive and slow for this size of company, and freelancers can't cover both strategy and the actual build. We start where the value is: a process audit that maps how a company actually works and pinpoints where AI and automation save real time and money. From there, we deliver exactly what each company needs: - AI literacy workshops: hands-on sessions where teams learn to use AI on their own work, safely, so they leave with working automations rather than notes about someday. - AI Foundation: a company-specific AI policy and a list of approved tools, so leadership knows what's allowed and employees know what to use. Operational guidance, not legal advice. - Custom automations and AI agents: built by our in-house developer and scoped from the audit, taking over the repetitive workflows that eat up people's days. Why us: the team that diagnoses the problem also builds the solution. No handover between a consultant who writes a report and a vendor who has to reinterpret it. No pyramid of juniors learning at the client's expense. Clear, fixed-scope offers, delivered fast. Why now: AI adoption in small and mid-sized companies is happening anyway, mostly unmanaged. Employees paste client data into free tools, every department picks its own apps, and leadership has no overview. The companies that put structure in place now will compound the gains, and the rest will spend the next years cleaning up. We want to be the partner that gets them there first. Where we are: Cimalys is an early-stage, founder-led company with delivery capacity in place and a productized offer ready to sell. What we need now is someone who loves opening doors and closing deals, so we can bring this to many more companies.

TasteOwl is building a marketplace for catering and event food in Denmark. We help private customers and companies find, compare and request offers from local caterers, restaurants, food trucks and event food suppliers. Today, finding catering is still fragmented, manual and time-consuming. Customers have to search across Google, social media and individual supplier websites, while many local food suppliers struggle to get discovered online. TasteOwl brings both sides together on one platform, making it easier for customers to find the right food for their event and easier for suppliers to receive relevant inquiries without fixed subscription costs.

Node16 is building the world’s first decentralized AI cooperative for financial crime prevention. We are creating a federated, privacy-preserving AI network that lets banks collaborate securely - without sharing raw data.

We combine federated learning, graph neural networks, and agentic AI to transform how institutions detect and investigate suspicious activity - while remaining fully GDPR- and AMLD/R-compliant. We are based in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Our company has been founded on the accelerating wave of people consuming plant-based foods and beverages. Many of these people - our target audience - have taken highly conscious decisions to decrease their consumption of animal-based foods of beverages for a variety of reasons such as health, environment, ethics and economy. However, a significant proportion of these people are facing a serious dilemma as it turns out a lot of packaged plant-based foods - and especially pre-made beverages (plant-milks) - are ultra-processed (for the sake of shelf life and taste) and filled with various additives and sugar. This unfortunately makes them significantly less healthy and nutritious compared to conventional cow-milk, which is a clear and unintended aspect of people choosing plant-based fodder and beverages. By providing an easy-to-use, convenient and fast method for producing own plant-based milk, Nordic Mylk enables people to reduce their animal-based food and beverage consumption, shifting to plant-based ingredients - but doing so in way that retains quality, health and taste - while being a more economic solution at the same time. We want to be mission-driven on the purpose of consuming plant-based food and beverages - and Doing It Yourself We want to spark a (more than competition) creative recipe-universe so people unfold the taste-potential of plants We want to be a 2-way where and put users centre stage to share content, recipes and experiments with each other
