Squarehead Technology provides advanced microphone array systems for audio capture and acoustical zoom. A microphone array  combines a large number of individual microphones to create a highly directional audio output.  The challenge of isolating and capturing desired sound in noisy environments is a well-known problem. Our products allow an operator to zoom in on a particular area and record sound in much the same way a camera zooms in a scene. This is achieved by using sophisticated digital signal processing of audio from several hundred microphones combined into a single system. All audio channels are high quality digital signals that can be recorded without any loss.

From intermittent to continuous tracking lactate data Are you or someone you know doing everything in your power to reach the top of the podium someday? If so, NDURE wearable lactate sensor will help you those crucial steps closer to becoming the best. Inspired by the practices of some of sports biggest champions, we fundamentally believe that our continuous lactate tracker will revolutionize the sports industry and unlock human performance. Lactate tracking has recently become the most recognized metric for performance across different sports and athletes have started to integrate this into their training practices in order to gain those infamous "marginal gains". NDURE's continuous lactate biosensor enables sports athletes and their teams to gain continuous and real-time data of lactate levels in a convenient and efficient way. Our mission, thus, addresses all key areas in performance-improvement ranging from optimized recovery to enhanced stamina as we strive to help athletes and coaches optimize training planning.

KAHU aims to close a persistent gap in maritime visibility - the inability to continuously track vessels not transmitting AIS (Automatic Identification System) data. AIS can be switched off, spoofed, or absent, creating blind spots exploited by illegal fishing, shadow fleets, and other high-risk actors. The AIS market is also dominated by a few providers, limiting access and transparency. This affects not only maritime safety and security but also the monitoring of ocean environments. We address this by building the first real-time, crowdsourced radar detection network for the ocean. Our onboard software connects to existing vessel radar, collects radar echoes, and streams them securely to the cloud using low-bandwidth protocols. There, echoes are linked into vessel tracks and fused with AIS, satellite imagery, and other data layers to produce a continuous, sea-level view of vessel movements, enabling comprehensive visibility over human activity at sea and supporting timely, informed action.

Swed Fintech AB is developing tech-driven investor outreach and capital allocation programs to help emerging finance talent bridge the gap between academic theory and professional practice through advanced, systematic learning. There is a critical gap between traditional finance education and the demands of a modern, technology-driven investment ecosystem. Many talented individuals struggle to translate academic knowledge into real-world investor relations, capital allocation, and relationship management skills. This problem affects graduates, career changers, and even early-stage professionals — limiting their ability to build successful careers and slowing innovation in the financial sector. Swed Fintech AB is tackling this problem by integrating advanced tech, systematic research, and global best practices into a unique internship program. Interns work side-by-side with senior professionals to gain firsthand exposure to capital raising, investor outreach, and allocator psychology, while also interacting with modern CRM systems, outreach automations, and AI-based research tools. We blend human skills with technology to deliver a transformative learning experience rooted in Nordic excellence and strategic thinking. At Swed Fintech AB, we believe humanity will thrive in a future where fintech, automation, and AI transform 99% of repetitive tasks — freeing people to focus on higher-value problem solving and innovation. Seeing how many young finance professionals struggle to access practical, meaningful opportunities, we were inspired to bridge this gap by combining world-class training with technology-driven solutions. We are motivated by a mission to transform humanity through excellence in frontier research and technology, helping shape a better financial, healthcare, and learning landscape for everyone.

Sealytix develops CAPSIM, an advanced stowage algorithm that liner shipping companies can use to maximize the profit of their fleet. Liner shippers are challenged by extremely complex stowage rules of container vessels. This means that sales teams are unable to fill all slots and sell container bookings that fit the vessel. The problem is known, but has defied automation until today. CAPSIM is the fourth generation of a series stowage algorithms developed in collaboration with Danish Universities since 2007. It includes a patented AI technology for predicting lashing forces and forecasting cargo. It is the first stowage algorithm in the world that is able to select spot and contract cargo to stow on a vessel that maximizes total cargo yield. A PoC with a large Danish liner shipper showed that CAPSIM enables vessels to increase their profit with 5-8%. This is a breakthrough result in a market that normally has profit margins of a few percent. The potential extra profit of the world fleet is more than $10B per year. Sealytix has a SaaS software product line consisting of SLX | YIELD, SLX | FLOW, and SLX | STOW supporting sales, capacity management, and stowage operation, respectively.
