Circular Innovation Lab is a research and policy think tank, based in Denmark and India, accelerating the transition to a circular economy, through its for-profit arm, Circular Innovation Lab ApS, and non-profit arm, CIL Foundation MTU. We collaborate with national governments, UN agencies, and international organisations to create circular economy solutions that drive the transition to a circular economy forward. ​We work closely with these stakeholders to help them gain a deeper understanding of the potential of a circular economy transition. Together, we develop solutions that assist them in adopting circular principles and actions. We support them in the entire process from the ideation, research, and analysis phase up to implementation and monitoring.

Hi, we're LYS. We’re not here to build smarter lighting products, but to enable a smarter and healthier living with light. We look beyond the lifespan of a light bulb, the aesthetics of a lamp and the technology of smart lighting systems. Instead, we focus on what should always come first — people and supporting their healthy livelihood. Just as air, food, and water, light is a natural and vital source to health. To most people, the absorption of light is an unconscious choice in life. It’s everywhere, always. But not necessarily in a healthy way. We can choose to eat better, drink less, run more… but what about the things we don’t see, but subconsciously feel? The things that can truly energise our day and make us happier and healthier. We are here to improve people’s health by enabling personal light adjusted to their inner rhythms and daily routines. Light can only be truly healthy, if it’s powered by people and the lives they live every day. So, whenever you are ready to feel the difference, we are here to help you live a healthier life with light.

We commit to early-stage founders with roots in the Nordics and Baltics. Those we back are in. We believe in them fully, fight for them fiercely, and build lasting trust that goes both ways. We back the few—because they’re the ones who can build futures others can’t imagine and improve life for the many. Read more at inventure.vc

Healthcare is under unprecedented pressure. Patient numbers are rising, workforces are shrinking, and clinical complexity is exploding. Yet clinicians still spend up to half their workday on administrative tasks, navigating fragmented systems and unstructured clinical data while making fast, high-stakes decisions. Gosta is building the AI operating system for healthcare. We turn fragmented clinical data, documentation, and care workflows into structured, actionable support — so healthcare providers can reduce administrative burden, improve coordination across care teams, and make more informed decisions. Our medical-grade platform automates clinical note generation in real time, structures patient data according to institutional standards, and links care decisions to evidence-based guidelines. Real-world results show clinicians completing follow-up documentation in a median of under two minutes, freeing meaningful time for direct patient care. Built in Finland on secure, ISO 27001–certified infrastructure and developed under IEC 62304 for medical software, Gosta is already trusted by leading healthcare providers across Europe — from large private providers and public wellbeing services to specialist centers in fields like oncology. Gosta Labs was founded in 2023 by Lauri Sippola and Henri Viertolahti, the team behind Kaiku Health (acquired by Elekta in 2020). Backed by Voima Ventures, COR Group, Reaktor and others, we're on a mission to give care teams back their time, headspace, and confidence — so every patient encounter can be safer, more personal, and less burdened by administration.

For the last decade, knowledge work drifted from its original promise. It was supposed to be about thinking, creating, deciding. Instead it became status meetings, reporting, and alignment rituals. AI is changing that, but it created a new problem: the individual got faster than the organization. Work now happens inside sessions between humans and agents, and the context behind it disappears before anyone else in the company can see it. Palette closes that gap. We ingest signals from the tools teams already use (Slack, Linear, Notion, GitHub, calendar, email), turn them into a living map of the organization, and serve that context to the agents people work with every day. Palette Desktop is where teams put it to work. Point it at a folder on Google Drive or Dropbox, and run agents on Anthropic, OpenAI, Mistral, or a local model inside it. More providers ship in regularly. It opens those agents up to the whole company, including non-engineers, and the team picks the model that fits. We shipped Desktop in May 2026, and it's already where most of our own work happens. We're 6 people in Copenhagen. Four co-founders, two founding engineers. We work with design partners across leading startups, scaleups, and household-name brands. We recently raised our pre-seed. Our mission: build the OS for AI-native organizations.

Treble Technologies is an Iceland-based deep tech B2B SaaS scale-up that has built the sound simulation platform of the future: the platform to design the sound of every building, every car, every tech product, and every virtual experience. The platform stands at the intersection of four major ongoing or emerging technology revolutions: artificial intelligence, the metaverse, digital twins, and human-computer interfacing. The software solution offered by the platform is groundbreaking and enables the integration of audio in these technological innovations. The platform solves pressing problems faced by the audio and acoustics industry. It enables faster audioproduct development cycles and allows users to realize better quality products and services at significantly reduced costs. It will enable the developers of audio artificial intelligence (e.g., speech recognition) to overcome the number one challenge they are facing, the data bottleneck, by allowing synthetic audio data that has the same fidelity as real-world recordings, which has been impossible until now. It enables better immersion into virtual and augmented worlds and reduces user fatigue and motion sickness, which increases user adoption. It allows architects and engineers in the building industry to design buildings seamlessly, not just with their eyes but also with their ears, ensuring optimal acoustic and noise conditions are obtained, all while avoiding costly mistakes. Thus, the platform allows the automotive, consumer electronics and pro-audio industries to replace physical prototyping with virtual prototyping. Treble was founded in late 2020, but the company’s seeds were sown in academic research at world-leading universities for several years prior to the foundation. Treble currently employs just over 30 people, including world-leading engineers and brilliant entrepreneurs.

Themison is a Danish health-tech company building a new kind of clinical trial platform. Every day, clinical trial site staff manage growing complexity (protocols, emails, visits, deadlines) without a system truly built for coordination. At Themison, we are creating the intelligent foundation that trial sites need. We have invested deeply in research and fieldwork to understand the reality of trial execution. Our AI tools are shaped by the needs of those on the frontlines. Our mission: streamline operations, reduce burnout, deliver operational clarity that scales revenue, and help life-saving treatments reach patients faster by accelerating their path from laboratory to market. Why This Matters: The pharmaceutical industry is at a pivotal moment. As the search for blockbuster drugs becomes harder and patents on key treatments expire in the coming years, the race to bring new therapies to market is more competitive than ever. Pharmaceutical companies, contract research organizations, and clinical sites must work faster and more efficiently to stay ahead. In this new era of Agentic AI, Themison equips trial managers and staff with the tools to lead. Together, we can accelerate the delivery of life-saving treatments, making healthcare more accessible, affordable, and patient-centered. Join us in shaping the future of clinical trials.
