Updrift Copenhagen er en dansk klima-startup, der gentænker, hvordan byer og mennesker lever med vand. Klimaforandringerne betyder kraftigere regn og hyppigere skybrud. Vores kloakker er ikke bygget til de vandmængder, og løsningen har hidtil været store, dyre anlæg – bassiner og tunneler til hundredvis af millioner, der graves dybt og tager årevis at bygge. Vi tror på en anden vej. Vores patenterede skybrudsventil monteres på husets nedløbsrør og leder skybruddet væk fra kloakken, ud på terræn, hvor det ikke gør skade, netop når presset på systemet er størst. Alene gør én ventil en lille forskel. Men sætter man dem op mange steder i et område, aflaster de tilsammen hele kloaksystemet. Vi kalder det mikroinfrastruktur: mange små greb, der tilsammen løser et stort problem. Effekten er dokumenteret gennem hydraulisk modellering og test hos Teknologisk Institut og WSP, og løsningen er allerede i brug i over 400 husstande på tværs af fire danske kommuner. I ét pilotprojekt erstattede vores ventiler et planlagt betonbassin - med samme effekt på kloakken, til under en tredjedel af prisen og med et markant lavere CO₂-aftryk. Vores mission er at gøre klimatilpasning demokratisk, billigere, hurtigere og mere bæredygtig - og at vise, at de bedste løsninger ikke altid er de største. Læs mere på updrift-cph.dk.

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), registered in EUDAMED and with Danish Medical Agency, 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. 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.

Farm Legacy is a startup building the first AI-powered platform for farm succession, helping retiring farmers find the next generation to take over their land. Across Europe alone, 6.3M+ farms need a successor in the next decade. Globally, there are 608M+ farms, most of them family-run, and farming populations are aging in nearly every market. When no one steps in to take over, working farms get sold off, abandoned, or absorbed into industrial operations. Our goal is to keep family-scale farms alive by making succession simple: matching the right people, handling the legal and financial process, and supporting the new farmer with the tools they need to run the farm for years afterwards. At Farm Legacy, we believe the future of agriculture depends on the people who farm the land, and we are building the platform that makes the handover possible.

RestfulBlanket is a Danish company that runs social projects while developing and producing organisk weighted blankets and sensory weighted products designed to create calm in the body and improve sleep. We work at the intersection of mental wellbeing, social responsibility, and practical solutions for people whose nervous systems do not easily settle. Our focus is on people living with anxiety, ADHD, trauma, stress, and sensory overload, as well as families supporting children with similar challenges. For many, sleep is not just a routine, but a daily struggle shaped by a body that stays in alarm. That is the problem we exist to address. Our products are developed from lived experience and built around natural materials. Each blanket is filled with heat-treated rapeseed and sewn in breathable cotton, creating a quiet, formable, and temperature-regulating pressure that adapts to the body rather than resisting it. The goal is not just weight, but a specific kind of grounded, even pressure that helps the body feel safe enough to release tension. The result is a sensory experience often described as a calm, steady embrace rather than a heavy object. At the same time, RestfulBlanket is a registered socialøkonomisk virksomhed. Our production takes place in a small, structured workshop in Denmark, where we create meaningful employment and training opportunities for people with psychological vulnerability or neurodivergence. The work is organised with high predictability, low sensory load, and strong relational support, allowing individuals to contribute in a real production environment while building stability and confidence. Beyond our workshop, we run social initiatives such as collaborations with crisis centres, where weighted blankets are used as a practical tool to support women and children after violence. In these contexts, the blanket is not presented as a product, but as a simple, physical anchor that can help the body find a first sense of safety and rest. Our mission is to build something more than a product range. We are working to establish a trusted Danish reference point for natural, body-based calm. That means combining material quality, transparent communication, and real-world impact. We do not position ourselves as a quick fix or a medical solution, but as a grounded, evidence-aware alternative that supports the nervous system in a way people can actually feel. By connecting production, people, and purpose, RestfulBlanket exists to create more ro, more tryghed, and more sustainable ways for individuals and families to live with less internal pressure and better sleep.

Devai helps software teams turn AI coding tools into real engineering results. Most companies are experimenting with AI, but adoption often stalls: leaders push top-down initiatives, teams use inconsistent tools and prompts, code quality varies, and developers lose time debugging weak AI output. The result is lots of activity, but little measurable productivity gain. We solve this by working directly with development teams inside their real codebases and workflows. We help with selectin the right tools (for example Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot), help refining team-level ways of working, and coach developers on best agentic coding practices. Instead of generic training, we deliver practical, hands-on training that immediately applies to day-to-day engineering work. Why this matters: AI changes fast, and most teams need partner-level guidance to adopt it safely and effectively. Devai closes that gap and helps engineering organizations ship faster with better consistency, quality, and confidence.

Velocity Insights is building a new class of analytical production systems that generate decision intelligence from a fully traceable evidence base. Most commonly used GenAI approaches generate narratives first and attempt to justify them during the text generation process — often resulting in outputs that are incomplete, difficult to verify, and not fully traceable to underlying evidence. Velocity Insights takes a different approach, structuring the evidence first and deriving every insight from it. This enables organizations to produce analytical outputs that are fully traceable, inspectable, and auditable — transforming how conclusions are validated in high-stakes decision environments. Designed for capital allocation and strategic decision-making, Velocity Insights enables enterprises across finance, life sciences, and technology to generate high-speed decision intelligence without sacrificing traceability or control. By combining data structuring, workflow design, and AI, the system establishes a new standard: analytical outputs that are fully verifiable, transparent, and trusted.
