AquaFood

AquaFood has a patent-pending method for extracting high-value, food-grade components at cold temperatures from the side streams of fish production (e.g. heads, backbone, scales, etc.). The components we extract are; pure fish oil that fits as a supplement, a unique protein mass with high functionality (almost minced meat consistency) that fits perfectly for fish balls, fish burgers, or even tubed fish spread, and lastly, we extract a fine collagen powder that fits for dermatological applications. Today, the side streams of fish production account for 40-70% of the fish that is brought into the processing plants. This is a remarkably higher amount than any other food-producing industry. At the same time, the food production system worldwide accounts for 1/3 of green-house gas emissions, 1/3 of land usage, and 2/3 of groundwater withdrawal. The seafood industry has problems of their own, where 95% of our fish stocks are fully utilized and about 30% have already collapsed. There simply is not way for us to increase or even continue to produce the way that we are in a sustainable way. But we still need to increase food production as the globally increasing population will demand a doubling of protein production in the year 2050 compared to now. AquaFood believes that resource efficiency is a huge stepping stone toward reaching a sustainable food production system. A system where we use our resources efficiently and to their full potential is what needs to happen to step into a sustainable future. In our process, we can make sure that the FULL fish is used to its full potential. Through our process, we use no heating steps and the only effluents from our process are the water that we introduce to the system mixed with a small amount of protein. Therefore, our process is highly efficient, sustainable in terms of lower energy and water consumption but also in terms of the resource efficiency that it brings. Our technology is research-based and stems from decades of research in the area of utilization of aquatic biomasses.

BLOC (Blockchain Labs for Open Collaboration)

We’ve all been sleepwalking throughout the process of applying technology to society. Along the way, solutions have been developed in isolation — to drive up profits without considering larger societal impact, leaving us with untapped potential and fragmented outcome. Technological influencers have been applying tech to sustain ownership — not to do good. The system is broken. So we surround ourselves with “fixers”. 
 The only thing is: We’re past the point where patches will suffice. We need to create entirely new alternatives. At BLOC, we’ve set out to do just that: Create new platforms, new ways of doing business, new governance models and new solutions through blockchain technology. The overarching goal? Achieving positive global impact. 
 Net neutral is no longer okay. We have to be net-positive. BLOC is an independent blockchain consultancy, collective lab, and product studio. We turn ideas into practice and aim to solve industry problems through collaboration and radical thinking. We’re using blockchain technology to foster collaboration and deliver real change for entire industries and society at large. Our goal is generating global impact. At BLOC, we are open, transparent and focussed on accelerating positive change through a partnership approach. Our values are critically important and underpin our work, our way of thinking and our way of life: Open: We aim to foster true collaboration underpinned by open and transparent technologies. Real: We have a mindset that means we are not afraid to disagree or say no and are healthily skeptical of our own technology. Kindred: We support each other and our partners both as individuals and in the way we view and communicate the disrupted technologies we work. Fluid: We are adaptive. Blockchain and DLT, like other disruptive technologies, is morphing constantly, as are the needs of the markets we work within.  Grounded: We are do-ers; focused on working with industry partners to implement, not just theorize.

Clevertrack ApS

Clevertrack was founded with one clear ambition: to help businesses eliminate waste, reduce emissions, and make smarter operational decisions through connected machine and vehicle data. Every day, construction equipment, commercial vehicles, and industrial assets consume millions of liters of fuel while generating vast amounts of operational data. Yet much of that data remains fragmented and locked across manufacturers, systems, and spreadsheets - making it difficult, if not impossible, for businesses to gain the operational overview needed to take action. In just a few years, we've grown into a fast-moving technology company with one mission: making the world's fleets and heavy equipment more intelligent, efficient, and sustainable. Our team brings together expertise in software engineering, IoT, telematics, data analytics, and fleet operations - all driven by passion for solving real-world challenges. Our platform breaks down one of the industry's biggest barriers: fragmented data. Clevertrack collects real-time engine data, fuel consumption, location, and operational data across virtually every vehicle and equipment brand, bringing everything together in one unified platform. Instead of switching between manufacturer portals and disconnected systems, our customers gain one complete view of their entire fleet - turning complex data into actionable insights that reduce costs, improve utilization, prevent downtime, and accelerate sustainability initiatives. We're passionate about solving real-world challenges with technology and building products that make a measurable difference for our customers every single day. If you're excited about building scalable software, working with cutting-edge IoT technology, and helping shape the future of connected fleets, we'd love to have you on the journey.
