SoilSense is an agro-technology company that works to solve one of the grandest climate challenges of this century - water scarcity. We are driven by the ambition of making a real difference in the world. Today, more than 70% of all available freshwater is used for watering crops. This puts farming at the center of attention if we are to solve the global challenge of water scarcity. SoilSense offers an affordable soil sensor and software solution that helps farmers optimize the growth of their crops, by intelligently recommending when and where to water. SoilSense-farmers reduce water usage and increase their yield. Our company is born global with systems deployed in Peru, Kenya, and Denmark. Since 2018 we have worked to develop our product and market fit, and in 2020 we started selling our solution to the first base of customers. Our focus in 2021 will be on maturing our hardware for production and distribution, adding advanced software features to our platform, and scaling sales to European markets.

Mendonca Biomed is an early stage life science startup with the aim to develop and validate novel biomarker for the early detection of viral infections in blood with an affordable yet simple detection method that can be universally applied. The company was originally founded by myself Kevin Mendonca in India based on his 15 years of accumulative research knowledge. Preliminary data on the utility of viral miRNA biomarkers for the screening of blood for transfusion transmitted viral infections, which are potentially superior to the currently available markers, and a simplified assay that is cost effective and can be universally adapted, were developed in India. However, due to an innate lack of infrastructure and funding opportunities in India, I applied for the startup Denmark program to move the company to the medicon valley. I recently moved to Demark, registered a privately owned company and currently in pursue of funding to validate the viral miRNA biomarkers for the early detection of HIV, HBV and HCV in donated blood. Around the world, more than 92 million blood donations are collected every year. Screening of donated blood and derived products, for HIV, HBV and HCV is mandatory worldwide. Screening is a key safety measure in protecting recipients from transfusion transmitted infections, especially in developing nations in Africa and Asia, where the donated blood is not processed because of high costs and lack of infrastructure. Moreover, in emergency situation like natural calamities, disasters and sudden outbreaks, the currently available methods are inadequate for on-site screening. Serological testing (antigen and antibody detection assays) have historically been the foundation of blood screening but with huge drawbacks of long window periods. Newer strategies like the PCR based amplification viral genomic DNA/RNA in blood have helped shorten the window period but have not eliminated it. PCR assays have also been known to fail in low viremia and/or suboptimal amplification efficiency. They are far more expensive than the serological assay, requires expertise, specialized equipment and a molecular biology setup, which is not available in the resource poor settings of the developing countries. Our solution is to develop and validate novel viral miRNA biomarkers that have the potential to further reduce the window period and use the unique characteristics of these biomarkers to develop a simple, multiplex (3 in 1), inexpensive probe hybridization assay that can be universally utilized in all settings and conditions. Viral miRNA molecules are easy to validate as biomarkers since the presence of vmiRNA’s is a definite indicator of infected cells. Benefit: Multiplex 3 in 1 test. Method as simple to perform as the serological assay with the benefits of a molecular assay. Can be adapted in any setting, even in the field and low resource conditions in developing nations. Potentially, lower window period of detection compared to any biomarkers that are available in the market currently. Value: High throughput, lower turnover time with lower chances of human error. Advantages of a molecular assay with the simplicity and affordability of a serological assay. Does not require specialized setup, infrastructure and highly trained technicians. Potentially, could detect the infections faster than any other tests in the market, lowering the risk of transfusion transmission. Once this platform has been validated, the product line can be expanded to cover all commercially viable viral infections. A HPV assay based on this platform, for example, could be a potential replacement for the invasive PAP test, and can be performed during a routine blood test. The platform can be further adapted to screen for novel viral infections like SARS, MERS, ZIKA etc. It can be also be developed to screen and control other sporadic outbreaks the like Dengue, Chikungunya etc.

Boardmemore is developing a marketplace to help people rent sports equipment to other people. The marketplace will solve accessibility issue of rental sports equipment and also will provide a possibility to earn from renting. What sparked the idea? On a sunny day in Copenhagen you would like to take a paddle board and have a tour in beautiful canals that remind you Venice, especially when due to pandemic you couldn't go there, but there is no where close to rent it while you also don't want to buy it for one time. This was how our idea was born. We asked ourselves how might we create P2P marketplace for sports equipment rental and how to make different sports activities more accessible to everyone?

SpeakerBee er en fri og demokratisk video platform, hvor alle med noget på hjerte kan dele deres viden. Vidensdelingen sker altid via live-streaming, men vil efterfølgende være tilgængelig på websitet. Når vi altid sender live er det med et håb at indlæggene fremstår så transparente og “uredigerede” som muligt. Samtidig giver det seerne mulighed for at interagere med speakerne direkte gennem chat, quizzer, afsteminger, webcam m.m. SpeakerBee er uafhængig af politiske- og andre særinteresser, og sålænge, der er interesse for et indlæg, det er indenfor lovens rammer og det overholder nogle simple kvalitetskrav, er emnet frit. Udover indlæg fra speakere producerer vi selv - eller i samarbejde med partnere - programmer i lidt større formater som kan være samtaler, debatter, temaserier eller anden vidensdeling. Der er også kommercielle indslag - dog altid efter samme principper - at det skal være live og transparent. Vi tror på at fremtidens kommunikation mellem virksomhed og potentielle kunder vil være en ærlig præsentation af virksomheden og dens kultur og værdier samt at deres produkt eller service gør en forskel for brugerne. SpeakerBee råder desuden over to professionelle video- og lydstudier centralt i København. Team SpeakerBee 🐝

We are fighting single-use because we realized that the problem was not just plastic, but more in general our habit with single-use items. The restaurant and cafe sector uses large amounts of single-use containers that cause a waste of resources and a threat to the environment. We focus on solving this issue by providing reusable stainless steel food boxes and cups to restaurants and cafes and charge them by usage. Thanks to our free mobile app for consumers, we make sure that the product's circulation takes place smoothly by keeping track of the boxes and cups and ensuring that they are returned into circulation.
