Tid

Tid is a watch startup challenging the assumption that products should be designed for a single, default body and identity. Most watches are built around narrow aesthetic and ergonomic norms, leaving many people adapting themselves to the object rather than the other way around. We design unconventional, modular timepieces that prioritize fit, expression, and personal meaning over tradition. The problem we solve is not accuracy of timekeeping, but relevance: creating objects that reflect diverse bodies, lives, and ways of being in the world.

Arcana Bio

Arcana is building new AI-powered technologies that enable long-term human health monitoring through label-free protein detection and proprietary photonics technology, designed to support health monitoring at home. By combining photonics and artificial intelligence, Arcana reads biological signals directly—without labels or reagents—making it possible to generate continuous insight into health over time. Instead of relying on infrequent lab tests or reacting to late-stage symptoms, Arcana focuses on capturing early biological signals that reflect how the body responds to everyday physiological processes such as stress, recovery, and aging. Our mission is to support long-term health and longevity by shifting healthcare from reactive treatment to proactive insight. We believe health should be understood as a trajectory rather than a snapshot, and that high-quality biological data is the foundation for better decisions, more timely interventions, and healthier lives. Arcana is a deep-tech company operating at the intersection of photonics, biology, and artificial intelligence. We work on challenging problems that demand scientific rigor, long-term thinking, and close collaboration across disciplines. Our work spans hardware development, software engineering, data science, and applied biology, with a shared focus on translating complex biological signals into meaningful, real-world impact. If you are motivated by first-principles thinking, enjoy working across boundaries, and want to help shape the future of health and longevity, we invite you to apply.

GEIST

1. The Elevator Pitch GEIST is developing next-generation sailing apparel for recreational and lifestyle sailors who want protection and freedom on the water—without the bulk, stiffness, or elitist aesthetics of traditional sailing gear. By combining high-performance materials, real-world testing, and community-driven design, GEIST delivers technical sailing wear that enhances the experience instead of getting in the way. 2. The What: What are you solving? Sailing apparel today is largely designed for professional racers or extreme offshore conditions—resulting in garments that are heavy, rigid, over-engineered, and visually disconnected from how most people actually sail. This creates a gap for: - Recreational sailors - Lifestyle / adventure sailors - Coastal and day sailors who want reliable protection from wind, spray, and weather, but also comfort, mobility, and a modern aesthetic they enjoy wearing. As a result, many sailors compromise—either wearing gear that limits movement and comfort, or using outdoor apparel not built for marine conditions. This problem affects a broad and growing segment of sailors globally, especially as sailing increasingly overlaps with outdoor lifestyle, travel, and community-driven experiences. 3. How GEIST is solving it GEIST designs sailing apparel from the experience outward. We start by deeply understanding how our users move, layer, vent heat, and interact with their gear during real sailing scenarios—not idealized ones. From there, we: - Develop function-led designs focused on mobility, breathability, and smart protection - Use premium 3-layer performance fabrics and components chosen for durability, comfort, and sustainability - Prototype early and test continuously with sailors in real conditions - Co-create features, fit, and details with our community rather than designing in isolation Our first products—a sailing jacket and trousers—are built to be worn actively on the water and comfortably before and after, bridging performance and lifestyle without compromise. 4. Why GEIST exists GEIST started from lived frustration. As a sailor and outdoor enthusiast, I repeatedly experienced how traditional sailing gear interrupted the very thing it was supposed to support—the feeling of being present, capable, and free on the water. Gear was either too stiff, too bulky, too aggressive, or simply not designed for how most people sail today. I realized this wasn’t a niche problem—it was systemic. And it wasn’t being solved because the industry hadn’t truly shifted its perspective. GEIST exists to reimagine sailing apparel from the standpoint of experience, movement, and modern sailing culture. It’s about stripping away unnecessary complexity and designing gear that supports focus, confidence, and enjoyment—so when the wind hits, the world narrows, and the gear disappears.

Forma Engine

We are developing a system intended to replace fixed interfaces with software that adapts in real time. Current products still depend on predefined UI paths that fail when underlying models behave in new ways. This gap limits how far teams can push advanced automation. The platform is being designed as a runtime that can generate interface elements dynamically. It aims to let products reorganize themselves around model output and user context without manual UI wiring. The goal is to enable applications that won’t rely on static interaction surfaces once the system is fully realized.

SproutWorld

SproutWorld is the company behind the world’s only patented plantable pencils and makeup liners. With their original circular design, our award-winning products can blossom from the stub of a pencil.

Our business clients come from a wide range of sectors from travel, energy, education and logistics to health, medical, NGOs and fashion. Many businesses and customers are looking at how they can be more sustainable. Our plastic-free, minimum waste, ecofriendly products offer a fresher, greener alternative.

We have a range of standard or customization options to suit your business needs. Our plantable products illustrate in a simple and visual way what’s possible when we think with a more sustainable mindset.

Because if we all take action, together we can make a greater impact – and be a force for good. 💚

Nørd Studio ApS

Nørd Studio is a Scandinavian branding and packaging agency based in Copenhagen (we work fully remote). We create human brands that communicate clearly and effectively without resorting to shouting. That last part matters. In a world of loud, trend-chasing designs, we deliberately do things differently. Minimal. Honest. Considered. This is not just an aesthetic choice; it's a philosophy that underpins everything we do, from our design process to our pricing strategy and how we treat the people we work with. We specialise in branding, including logos, visual systems, packaging, stationery and pitch decks. We write copy that sounds human, not like a press release. We also build websites from scratch — no templates or shortcuts, just fast, SEO-ready sites. We're a small studio, and that's intentional. Every client works directly with the people doing the work. Every project receives our full attention. There are no account managers, no handoffs and no diluted output. We're not looking to grow quickly. We want to grow well, with the right people on the right projects.

CryptoSuvereign Norge AS

1. CryptoSuvereign Norge AS is developing a regulated digital investment platform that makes it easier for people and small businesses to access the crypto market safely. We simplify exposure to digital assets through one transparent, Norwegian-based solution that combines technology, trust, and compliance. Our approach is based on proprietary mechanisms for value stability and portfolio management, details are confidential and shared only under NDA. 2. The crypto market is growing fast, but most people find it too complex, risky, and unregulated to invest in. Today, over 90 % of private investors who enter the crypto market either lose money or never diversify beyond one or two coins. Small businesses and startups also struggle to gain secure, compliant exposure to the sector. We are addressing this gap by building a bridge between traditional finance and the blockchain economy, giving users a safe, regulated entry point into digital assets. 3. The technical framework and operating model behind our solution are proprietary and can only be shared under a signed confidentiality agreement (NDA). The idea started with frustration seeing how ordinary people wanted to invest in crypto, but were pushed away by technical barriers, high volatility, and lack of trust. Our motivation is to create something that gives everyone a fair, transparent, and professional way to invest in this new economy without needing to be an expert or take unnecessary risk. We believe Norway and Europe need their own secure framework for digital asset management, and we want to be the ones who build it first. Because the concept combines regulated finance with blockchain innovation, we require all external collaborators to sign an NDA before receiving detailed project information.

United Nations Youth Association(UNYA) Denmark

UNYA Copenhagen is a volunteer-driven youth organization dedicated to empowering young people to engage with global challenges through the lens of the United Nations’ values and the Sustainable Development Goals. We create an inclusive platform where students and young professionals can learn, collaborate, and take action on issues like climate change, social inequality, peacebuilding, and innovation. We are addressing a clear and growing problem i.e. the disconnect between youth and global institutions. Many young people in Denmark care deeply about sustainability and justice but find it difficult to access meaningful opportunities to participate in international dialogue or contribute to real-world impact. This gap leaves motivated individuals without a channel to apply their energy, creativity, and ideas, while institutions miss out on fresh perspectives and engagement from the very generation that will inherit the future. UNYA Copenhagen bridges this divide by turning global ideals into local action. We organize interactive events, workshops, and panel discussions that make complex global topics accessible and relevant. Our activities are co-created by volunteers from diverse academic and cultural backgrounds who bring their own insights to the table. Through collaboration with universities, NGOs, and public institutions, we connect youth directly with experts and decision-makers, fostering a sense of shared responsibility and agency. What makes UNYA Copenhagen unique is our grassroots approach. We are not just an organization — we are a community that thrives on collective energy and creativity. Every project is designed by young people for young people, ensuring authenticity, inclusivity, and long-term motivation. Our strength lies in our diversity and the genuine commitment of our volunteers, who bring the UN’s global mission to life in a way that feels personal and actionable. The motivation behind UNYA Copenhagen is simple: we believe that youth engagement should not be limited to classrooms or conferences but should become a lived experience. We started this initiative because we wanted to make international dialogue tangible, local, and inspiring. Our team members share a passion for learning, community-building, and positive change — values that drive us to dedicate our time to building something meaningful together. Today, UNYA Copenhagen continues to grow as a platform where ideas turn into impact. We are seeking motivated individuals who want to gain experience in leadership, communication, and project management while contributing to a global cause. By joining The Hub’s Community Program, we hope to reach more passionate volunteers who want to be part of a dynamic network that connects Copenhagen’s youth with the world.

Vinduespudserskolen

På Vinduespudserskolen bygger vi et SAAS, der optimerer hverdagen for selvstændige vinduespudsere, som vil frem i trafikken, hvilket vores elever heldigvis vil. Kort om vores historie: Vinduespudserskolen startede i 2021 som et AMU-kursus og blev i midten af 2022 til en privat uddannelse, da flere elever efterspurgte undervisning i abonnementsdrift og virksomhedsdrift. Siden da har vi hjulpet mange elever med at skabe deres egne succesfulde abonnementsforretninger, og vi støtter dem dagligt med alt fra drift til forretningsudvikling – og nu også software. Selve undervisningen foregår på Frederikssundsvej 345, mens vores backoffice er placeret på Vestergade 16 i København. Vinduespudserskolen (uden SaaS-overbygning) rummer arbejdsplads til 4 medarbejdere. Selve SAAS-produktet er en overbygning på skolen og finansieres af skolen. Vi er et mindre, agilt team, startet på 1 fuldtidsudvikler, og nu byder vi velkommen til 4 remote-udviklere og dig, som sidder med teamet på Vestergade i KBH. I dag har vi givet adgang til 50 af de forretninger, vi selv har hjulpet med at bygge, som er i opstartsfasen, altså accounts med under 200 kunder. På vores venteliste har vi mange større firmaer, som vi selv har bygget fra bunden med eleverne. Vores elever er selvfølgelig det vigtigste for skolen, og vi skylder dem at implementere nye features hurtigere, end vi gør nu.

Jeg driver webbureauet Mads Lynderup, hvor jeg laver skræddersyede hjemmesider til små servicevirksomheder. Jeg fokuserer på en enkel og gennemsigtig proces uden skjulte gebyrer eller bindinger, og mine kunder ejer altid deres hjemmeside 100%. Mit mål er at ændre den måde markedet fungerer på i dag, hvor store webbureauer fyldt med supersælgere ofte tager røven på mindre virksomheder og sælger dem ting, de ikke har brug for. Jeg skaber i stedet professionelle og funktionelle hjemmesider, der giver synlighed og nye kunder – hurtigt og uden stress.
