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.
