The World Health Organization has dubbed stress as the “Health Epidemic of the 21st Century”. Public premises and offices often lack calm, relaxing, and ergonomic private spaces for people to alleviate stress. In addition, easy-to-use tools exist for measuring stress markers, but they are not providing instant help in improving them and relieving stress and anxiety. Silmu provides an experiential private space to recharge, focus, and relax in public premises where privacy is missing. Silmu is designed for offices and public spaces to help people to measure their wellbeing and instantly alleviate stress and anxiety with content and modern wellbeing technologies such as biofeedback.

We are on a mission to turn clinical operations upside down to make it fit into the everyday life of the participant, and thereby democratize clinical studies and patients' access to new treatments. At the moment we have a focus on the participant recruitment process for clinical studies, but our goal is to become the leading CRO within virtual dermatology studies. Virtual studies are studies that are conducted remotely and comfortably in the study participants' own home, as opposed to traditional centralized studies, where participants on a regular basis must spend time and money on traveling to a study-affiliated clinic. We are a team of 10 people from all over the world and we are looking forward to bringing more to the family. Our office is located in Health Tech Hub Copenhagen close to Nørreport Station. On working days lunch is cooked and served by our in-house chef and kitchen personnel.

There are many people who are moving to Sweden for a better future. Most of them are on the Information Technology side, Like Software developers, App developers, etc. We have seen a very common problem when they get here they have to face their residence and work permit issues, then they always have concerns about their future as Migrationsverket changes laws very frequently. We already made software with our Partner Company SWEDEN 4 ALL AB. Where we provide solutions to companies and employees from day one until they get a permanent settlement in Sweden and become Swedish citizens. Uncertainty and lack of knowledge ruined the career of many talented developers who ends up in the USA. We will take care of every employee and keep them updated about the changes. Similarly, we will update the companies so they don't lose their talented employees. This is one window solution that is 80% completed.

véwater is a social business within water services, combining sensor technology with water cleansing technology and close collaboration with locally anchored partners. véwater provides water to emerging, underserved markets without local access to sustainable and affordable alternatives. Integrating both analogue and mobile payment as well as existing infrastructure, we are able to provide water at competitive prices through existing channels. Meanwhile our sensor technology allow us to monitor solutions real-time to ensure preventive maintenance and repairs even in areas with unstable internet access, while all systems are designed to be repaired using only simple tools and readily available, affordable spare parts. véwater is built upon a vision of providing long-term sustainable development, while simultaneously nurturing and developing unrealised market potential. This is a journey which starts with water, but which has the potential to reach much further.

There is a lot of good journalism out there. The problem is that most of it is locked behind paywalls and can only be read by subscribers. We do believe that most people will gladly pay for high-quality journalism. But how many subscriptions can you afford? What if you want to read articles from three, five or ten different newspapers and magazines? The subscription model is bad for both readers and publishers. Readers are forced to refrain from reading articles of interest and publishers are losing out on revenue from occasional readers. Additionally, the subscription model is bad for democracy by promoting polarization. We have the solution. Librlit gives you access to the digital content of newspapers and magazines. Read all you want, pay only for what you read. Librlit is a plugin that is easy for publishers to implement without the need for expensive technical investments. Librlit complements the subscription model and makes it possible for publishers to monetize the occasional reader. Good for readers, good for publishers and good for democracy. Librlit gives you the freedom to explore and discover great journalism. The freedom to read, learn and understand. Because journalism is not about choosing sides. It is about understanding the world by viewing it from different perspectives. Librlit is liberating journalism by tearing down paywalls.

🐟🦐 Next Generation of Aquaculture 🦐🐟 We are solving global sustainability problems at land-based fish and shrimp farming, with a new farming technology. Farmed seafood is an alternative towards wild caught seafood, therefore lowering the demand of wild caught seafood helps the transition towards sustainable wild fishing methods. But today's farming of fish and shrimp has challenges in feed, health, eutrophication and water consumption. Nära & Naturlig has developed a new farming technology and by mimicking nature's own way of cleaning water, the unsustainable challenges are solved and economical advantages are obtained. In our technology the farming water is cleaned in a natural way by algae, bacteria and other small organisms called microbes, instead of today's technical cleaning filters which need to replace 1-10% of the total water volume each day. For us the residual products from the farm are cleaned by these microbes and the fish/shrimp in its turn will eat the microbes, creating a natural ecosystem inside the farm which enables 100% reuse of all water and residual products. Also, this microbial farm enables microbial metabolism of food by-products, the system indirectly produces high quality fish and shrimp from these food by-products. The natural microbes give a natural feed for the fish/shrimp and a superior health is observed. Also the natural feed of microbes gives the farmed fish/shrimp a superior taste. Specific Data on the technology: 30% higher feed conversion rate, enabling 100% replacement of marine protein towards plant based in the feed, lowering protein content of feed by 34% without affecting growth rate and health, (this plant- based feed with lower protein levels constitutes a feed with lower environmental impact). This new technology is published in the scientific journal Aquaculture. 🦐🐟We are focusing on following global sustainability goals 🐟🦐 Nr 14 Life below water. We offer an alternative to wild caught seafood, which aids the establishment of sustainable fishing methods and enables recovery of the marine ecosystems Nr 12 Responsible production and consumption. We promote sustainable consumption and production through a circular water and nutrient system, that in the internal production is reusing all farming water and residual products. Nr 9 Sustainable industries and infrastructure. Industries become more sustainable through the reuse of their food by-products and waste heat. Serverhalls or industries with waste heat can be used to heat up the farm. N 2 Zero hunger. The final goal is to develop a sustainable fish/shrimp farming method in Sweden, which can be established internationally and above all help developing nations to get access towards safe and nutritious food produced in a sustainable way. The farming technology will be sold with a licence model towards self owned regional partners. Nära & Naturlig will sell farming unit-models that are easily scaled in numbers towards the requested farm size. Through a licence fee on the yearly turnover the partners get the knowledge transfer of how to create and maintain a safe and efficient farming system. The partner also needs consistent delivery of the secret recipe of premix material form Nära & Naturlig that sustains an efficient and safe system. Nära & Naturlig also constitute the whole-saler of the produced fish/shrimp from the partners and will sell through its high end brand of sustainable, natural, healthy and locally produced seafood. Sweden is seen as a good verification country and market, but as soon as possible the technology and fish/shrimp sales will be established internationally. 🦐
