The healthcare industry is rapidly evolving to meet the growing demand for accessible, affordable, and efficient medical care. Medical devices have become an essential part of modern healthcare by enabling early disease detection, accurate diagnosis, continuous patient monitoring, and timely clinical decision-making. As global populations grow, chronic diseases increase, and healthcare systems face mounting pressure from shortages of medical professionals, innovative medical technologies are becoming critical to delivering quality care. Medical technology startups are playing a key role in this transformation by developing next-generation solutions that combine advanced software, portable hardware, and digital health technologies. Our company is a Copenhagen-based startup focused on developing innovative Point-of-Care (POC) diagnostic technologies. Our mission is to create intelligent, portable, and user-friendly medical devices that enable faster diagnosis and support decentralized healthcare delivery. The company has already developed a medical device that is classified as Software as a Medical Device (SaMD), demonstrating our expertise in creating clinically relevant software solutions that comply with modern medical device regulations. Building on this foundation, we are now developing our own portable processing device designed specifically for PoC applications. The device integrates powerful processing capabilities with advanced medical software to perform diagnostic analysis directly at the point of care, reducing dependence on centralized laboratory infrastructure. A key strength of our technology is its modular platform architecture. Rather than developing standalone devices for individual applications, we are building a scalable processing platform that supports multiple diagnostic modules. Our first product will introduce the core portable device with its initial diagnostic capability. Future medical applications and diagnostic modules can then be added through hardware and software upgrades, allowing healthcare providers to expand functionality without replacing the entire system. This approach reduces costs, extends product life, and provides a flexible solution that evolves with clinical needs. The demand for PoC diagnostics continues to grow as healthcare systems worldwide face significant shortages of physicians, nurses, and laboratory personnel. Delays in diagnostic testing can increase patient waiting times, prolong treatment decisions, and place additional pressure on hospitals and laboratories. PoC devices address these challenges by enabling rapid testing and analysis close to the patient, whether in hospitals, clinics, emergency settings, pharmacies, home healthcare, or remote locations. Faster diagnosis leads to earlier treatment, improved workflow efficiency, and better patient outcomes while reducing the burden on centralized healthcare facilities. Our portable processing platform supports this shift toward decentralized healthcare by providing reliable, easy-to-use diagnostic technology that delivers rapid clinical information wherever it is needed. The modular design ensures long-term adaptability, enabling future diagnostic capabilities to be integrated into the same platform as healthcare requirements continue to evolve. As a medical device startup operating from Copenhagen, we are committed to advancing digital health through innovation, engineering excellence, and regulatory compliance. By combining Software as a Medical Device with portable PoC hardware, we aim to provide healthcare professionals with flexible, scalable, and efficient diagnostic solutions that improve access to quality healthcare while helping address the global shortage of medical resources. Our long-term vision is to establish a comprehensive modular PoC platform that supports multiple medical applications and contributes to a more accessible, efficient, and patient-centered system.

Mitt Barnebarn er en seniorhjelp-bedrift i Trondheim. Vi hjelper hjemmeboende seniorer med det praktiske i hverdagen: renhold, hagearbeid, småreparasjoner, handling og digital hjelp. Navnet sier det meste: vi stiller opp slik et barnebarn ville gjort. Et menneske på døra, god teknologi i ryggen. Problemet vi jobber med er at mange eldre faller mellom familie som ikke rekker det, og en kommune med vedtak og ventelister. De trenger trygg, fast hjelp uten byråkrati. Det er det vi gir dem, med samme hjelper hver gang. Det som gjør oss spesielle: hjelperne våre er unge mennesker, og for mange er dette den første jobben. Hvert besøk blir et generasjonsmøte der en ungdom og en senior faktisk blir kjent. Vi tror unge kan styrke eldreomsorgen og avlaste en presset kommune, og vi bygger en bedrift som beviser det. Vi er et ungt team som bygger noe fra bunnen, og vi tenker stort: å vokse by for by, og gjøre kontoret til en hub der unge får prøve egne ideer, lære ferdigheter de tar med seg videre, og bygge noe som betyr noe. Å jobbe hos oss skal være meningsfullt, og du skal vokse av det.

Konvolo (Unisurveys), is an AI-powered platform that helps universities understand why students apply, choose programs, or drop out. Instead of traditional surveys, we use conversational AI to conduct dynamic interviews that adapt to each respondent’s answers. The platform turns qualitative student conversations into structured insights by automatically analyzing, grouping, and summarizing responses at scale. This allows universities to move beyond surface-level metrics and gain a deeper understanding of student motivations, expectations, and decision-making. Konvolo is used to improve student recruitment, program development, and retention by capturing the “why” behind student behavior — in a scalable, data-driven way.

In Tally, we are building an AI-powered financial reporting assistant that makes it effortless for businesses to access and understand their own financial data. We are solving a core problem in finance: companies often have the data, but it’s locked behind fragmented systems, complex reports, and manual processes that make it slow and difficult to turn numbers into clear decisions. Getting answers to basic questions—what’s driving performance, what changed, what needs attention—too often requires spreadsheets, specialists, and time most teams don’t have. Tally acts as an assisting number brain: it understands financial data, translates it into simple insights, and helps businesses work smarter and faster. We’re building the future of financial services around three principles—credibility (trust, transparency, and integrity), security (full control of data protection), and simplicity (reducing complexity so financial reporting is easy to attain and act on).

The Problem: What problem are you attempting to solve, and how big is it? Children suffering from school refusal systematically fall out of the education system because traditional teaching methods fail to meet their individual learning needs. Today, 110,000 children have experienced school refusal—equivalent to one in five students. This target group becomes isolated at home during their school years, which later leads to difficulties in securing and maintaining employment, costing society 2.2 billion annually. Research shows that the most critical factor for these students is restoring their self-confidence regarding learning; they need to experience learning as a positive activity and process the traumas that led to their school refusal (The Back2School Modular Cognitive Behavioral Intervention, 2024). Therefore, before attempting to reintegrate students into the physical school environment, it is crucial to rebuild their confidence and bring them up to the academic level of their peers to reduce feelings of stigmatization. The Solution: What is your idea? Describe your product or service. GradeAid is an AI agent that creates personalized learning experiences. Students simply scan their homework or verbalize what they wish to learn. Our AI then generates tailored content derived from pedagogically validated materials, specifically designed for children who lack academic confidence or have fallen behind. The system continuously learns from the student's interactions and automatically adapts the curriculum. This helps restore the self-confidence and joy of learning that many of these students lack, while ensuring the process is both personalized and fun. The platform features a 24/7 AI tutor providing instant feedback. Through gamification, students earn coins for their virtual pets. This approach was selected because research has long established that gamification effectively builds confidence and helps children re-engage with learning (Impact of gamification on school engagement: a systematic review, 2024). Instead of forcing the child to fit the system, our technology adapts to the child's way of learning. Our intention is to build confidence so that children find it easier to return to school, equipped with the mental energy to focus on social reintegration. The platform supports both English and Danish. We are currently testing the Danish version.
