We know we have a lot to do, but don't be mistaken: we are fully committed to getting to zero. 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.

Our disruptive startup won the Sustainary Award (Denmark), Frederiksberg Iværksætterpris (Denmark), European Youth Award (Austria), EcoSummit Gold Winner (Germany), Nordic Cleantech Open (Sweden), WWF Climate Solver Award (Denmark), Portugal Digital Awards (Portugal), and Green Tech Challenge (Denmark). We have offices in Copenhagen and Portugal. The company is profitable and growing at a very fast pace. We are preparing to launch commercially in 8 EU countries. The management team includes former senior McKinsey consultants and senior executives, with a proven track-record in building and exiting successful companies in the past. According to WWF, “Fresh.Land can save 88% of CO₂ from storage and reduce food waste by 10%, saving 12.7 million tons of CO₂ annually by 2026”. Our just-in-time model is at the forefront of the green transition in the food industry and fostering a shift to a more plant-based diet.

Edgy Systems AB – Making Energy Systems Work Together Overview Edgy Systems AB is building a hardware-agnostic monitoring and management platform for distributed energy assets such as solar panels, batteries, heat pumps, and HVAC systems. The platform provides a unified interface that allows installers, service companies, and multi-tenant building owners to monitor, analyze, and optimize the performance of their installations, regardless of manufacturer or protocol. By integrating all assets into a single ecosystem, Edgy Systems helps installers save valuable technician hours each week, prevents asset downtime, and builds trust with customers through transparency and actionable insights. The Problem The transition to electrified and distributed energy systems is accelerating, but the digital management layer has not kept pace. Today, both installers and property owners face major inefficiencies: For Installers: - They must use multiple OEM portals to monitor the assets they install, one for heat pumps, another for solar panels, batteries, EV chargers, and so on. Switching between these platforms wastes several technician hours every week and complicates workflow management. - Lack of central alerts: Installers often fail to notice when a system is underperforming or has an active alarm because there is no unified feedback mechanism. - Scaling limitations: The installation business is inherently resource-intensive. Growth depends on the speed and efficiency of teams, which are limited by manual coordination and fragmented digital tools. - Customer dissatisfaction: Since installers cannot easily share transparent performance data, their customers (typically tenant-owners’ associations or small industries ) may lose trust or perceive the investment as opaque. For Tenant-owners’ Associations and Industrial Users: - They often lack visibility into performance metrics of their solar, HVAC, or storage systems. Reports, when available, arrive monthly or yearly. - There is rarely a clear cost-benefit analysis that shows whether their energy investment delivers expected savings. - They want to optimize energy use and manage assets efficiently but struggle to find service providers capable of analyzing heterogeneous setups. - Tenants or residents don’t see real-time results, which reduces engagement and the perceived value of sustainability initiatives. The Solution - Edgy Systems offers an open, AI-assisted platform that connects all energy assets into a single dashboard. - Unified monitoring: A single pane of glass for all assets, independent of vendor or protocol. - Automated alarms and reports: Intelligent notifications ensure no downtime goes unnoticed. - AI-powered integration: Machine learning helps create and validate data connectors faster, reducing the engineering effort required to add new device types. - Transparency for customers: Real-time dashboards and cost-performance analytics increase trust and demonstrate tangible results. - Scalability for installers: By centralizing monitoring and automating reporting, installers can manage more installations with fewer resources. Why It Matters The energy industry is becoming decentralized, but the tools used to manage installations remain siloed and inefficient. Installers lose time and revenue potential, while customers cannot verify the value of their investment. Edgy Systems bridges this gap by providing the digital backbone for the modern energy ecosystem. It enables: - Faster, data-driven maintenance and installation scaling. - Lower operational costs through automation. - Smarter decisions for property owners based on transparent performance data. - A foundation for AI-driven energy optimization and predictive maintenance.

Valma.ai is a versatile AI-powered SaaS platform to help businesses actually become highly productive with Artificial Intelligens. We are a Norwegian startup with global reach, offering both a no-code/low-code solution for non-technical SMBs and a robust API and SDK for developers, enabling businesses of all sizes and technical capabilities to harness the power of AI. Valma.ai is addressing the challenge of AI underutilization in businesses, spanning from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMBs) to large corporations with in-house development teams.

Valma.ai recognizes that the need for AI-driven productivity spans across the spectrum of technical capabilities, from marketing agencies needing simple automation to tech companies requiring advanced AI integration. Our platform is designed to bridge this gap, offering solutions for both ends of the technical spectrum. Valma.ai solves these problems by offering a dual-approach platform: For non-technical users and SMBs: A user-friendly, no-code/low-code interface that allows easy creation and management of AI-powered workflows Pre-built AI variants (Chatbot, Agent, and Workflow) that can be easily customized and deployed Simple integration options, including a chat window that can be easily added to websites White-labeling capabilities for brand customization For developers and technically advanced users: A robust API that allows deep integration of Valma.ai's AI capabilities into existing systems and applications An SDK for building custom solutions and extending the platform's functionality Advanced features like custom annotations to override language models for precise outputs Flexible data management, including the ability to edit uploaded/stored data directly in a vector database Common features for all users: - Multiple AI variants that can be combined for complex problem-solving - Integration capabilities with both internal and external tools - Long-term memory for storing and retrieving important information - Collaboration features for team-based workflow creation - Voice-to-text and text-to-voice capabilities - Built-in security features and GDPR compliance This comprehensive solution allows businesses of all sizes and technical capabilities to leverage AI effectively, whether they're looking for out-of-the-box solutions or want to build custom, AI-powered applications.

We're building the AI for environmental engineering. What Cursor and Loveable did for Software engineering, we're doing for environmental engineering. Our goal is to simplify and democratize access to environmental insights, to empower decision makers to make more holistic decisions. Today, performing life-cycle assessments is a highly academic discipline, which acts as a major gatekeeper for properly utilizing data, and getting a proper return of investment. In addition to make it more easy to arrive at the results, we also empower companies to actually utilize the data as a trustworthy, single-source of truth across all business units. This means that the data can create value, directly in R & D, sales, marketing, management and more.
