LikeLingo: Speaking Your Customers' Language (Literally) We're LikeLingo, and we are a B2B business helping our clients talk to their customers around the world in a way that actually sounds natural. Here's the thing: if you've ever tried expanding your business to another country, you've probably noticed something frustrating. You translate your website, your marketing materials, maybe even your product descriptions. But somehow, it just doesn't land the same way. It feels... off. Stiff. Like a robot wrote it. That's because most translations are just that: translations. Word-for-word swaps that completely miss the cultural nuances, local expressions, and tone that make people feel like you're speaking directly to them. We solve this problem by localizing your content. We go beyond translation. Think of it this way: localization is the difference between saying "football" in the UK and "soccer" in the US: same sport, different word. And using the wrong one immediately tells people you're not from around here. Our team is made up of native-speaking language experts who know the language and live the culture. When we adapt our clients' content for a new market, we translate and/or rewrite it so it sounds as if it were created there in the first place. Natural. Engaging. Like you've always been part of that community. Why does this matter? Because 75% of people prefer to buy products and services in their native language. And if your content sounds awkward or foreign, you're losing their trust before they even consider buying from you. We're here to help you speak local and reach global. Whether you're launching in Denmark, scaling across Europe, or going worldwide, we make sure your message connects no matter what language your customers speak.

ORIVO is a laboratory company located in Norway, with partnering labs strategically located around the world. Through a lab test based on a fingerprinting technology, we offer a verification service to the marine ingredients industry. Our service is mainly aimed at the ingredient producers and brand owners, and we deliver a unique verification of the authenticity of a marine ingredient, either in the form of a certificate or as a verification seal on finished products. The ORIVO seal on a product is a guarantee that the product is: 1. Made of real marine sources (such as salmon oil, salmon meal, anchovy oil, cod liver oil, krill oil) 2. From a specific region (such as Norway, Alaska, Peru, Iceland, New Zealand etc.) A very important part of our concept is to make sure that we test the same product as you buy. The ORIO seal is therefore based on testing of products which our third party inspectors are buying in the shop - in addition to continuous sampling from the brand owner´s production.

We at ResQ Club believe that motivated and satisfied employees are the driving force behind any company's success, which is why we want to offer you a relaxed, informal and supportive atmosphere.

Turning global cropland into a permanent carbon sink. We are bringing Greenlandic Glacial Rock Flour (GRF) to the world to drive a shift towards sustainable, productive, and carbon-negative agriculture. GRF is a naturally occurring, ultra-fine mineral powder formed by glacial erosion in Greenland and available in billion-tonne quantities. When applied to croplands in warmer climates, it enhances soil health and permanently captures atmospheric CO2 through enhanced rock weathering, effectively transforming farmland into a long-term carbon sink. But the really exciting part is what this enables for farmers: - GRF reduces reliance on synthetic fertilizers - you can apply less than before. - This directly reduces nitrogen leaching into the aquatic environment, as well as volatilization - A single dose acts as a slow-release fertilizer, with multi-year effects that increase the value of your soil rather than decrease it. - Farmers can opt in to monetize the carbon credits, offering an alternative revenue stream. Field trials across Denmark and Europe confirm the potential: GRF enables sustainable intensification and carbon capture at scale. Farming that supports both productivity and climate goals. This is not only good for the climate. It's also enabling a pathway for farmers to meet the demands of the future food system, with less risk.

Vi vil helst ikke sige det højt, for det er ekstremt hypet, men… Vi arbejder med AI. Alt lige fra rådgivning, til udvikling og implementering af AI – you name it, we got it. Det betyder at vi rådgiver kunder om, hvordan de implementerer AI i deres forretning på en måde så de sikre, at man er compliant (AI forordningen, GDPR og jeg skal gi dig skal jeg), har styr på governance (looking at you OpenAI), omkostninger (still looking) osv. Men også at vi selv udvikler og implementerer løsningerne (kode, kode og mere kode). Det er både træning af modeller, optimering af vektordatabaser, opsætning af kubernetes clusters, design af chatbots og en masse andet, mere eller mindre AI relaterede opgaver. Og det gør vi for de store - helt store. Og så nogle lidt mindre. Det betyder, at vi (med undtagelser) arbejder for store enterprise organisationer, med alt hvad det giver af muligheder og begrænsninger. Noget vi har gjort i rigtig mange år, også lang tid før der var noget der hed ChatGPT, AI Engineer og prompting. Kort sagt. Vi er dem man ringer til, når man vil have AI til at virke – ikke bare på LinkedIn. Vi har battle-tested løsningerne, set alle fejlene (og lavet en del af dem selv) og ved hvordan man navigerer i jungle af hype, compliance og faktiske forretningsbehov.
