A hero’s journey myth exists in every human culture because we humans reflect on our world through real stories of our own lives. You leave your comfort zone and have an experience that transforms you and then you recover from it and do it again. You don’t literally kill villains and evil dragons, but you face problems just as scary.

Keybird Instruments is developing a lightweight acoustic piano to help piano enthusiasts play with their preferred sound (acoustic) with a practicality and price comparable to that of digital pianos. Nine out of ten piano enthusiasts prefer acoustic sound, yet most play digital because of price, size and weight. We want to combine the best of both worlds. We can offer an acoustic piano that weighs only 40 + 15 kg, only occupying half a square meter of valuable living space. It can be transported in normal cars. The first model has a slightly reduced amount of keys (just like many digital keyboards) having all the keys for pop and jazz but also most of classical music in the first five years of music schools. We are in the Beta phase and will open up for sales in Autumn 2020. We use one string per key which allows us to build a piano significantly lighter, even with long strings to maintain optimal sound quality. We thus have a strong focus on sound quality, rather than loudness. We can reach the low price due to automated production here in Europe and a design strategy that allows this. We started this because we needed it for ourselves and saw the need for others. We asked all the piano enthusiasts we could reach and get the interest in our product confirmed. The huge market of acoustic and digital piano (we combine the benefits) is what keeps us in pace to release a great product.

byACRE was founded in Copenhagen, the heart of Scandinavian’s design hub, with a mission to break down the stigma related to reduced mobility and to help those it serves maintain an active lifestyle without compromise. We design mobility aids for a person, not a patient. Mobility is one of the core values in modern life. It’s also a top challenge facing older adults; and adults with disabilities that have impacted their mobility and lifestyle. The current market for assistive walking devices has failed to adequately support this community, with ageist messages and outdated models that denote feelings of dependence and fragility – an inaccurate representation of today’s thriving older adult community. Since 2017, our mindful designs have won some of the world’s most prestigious awards in design and innovation, including the 2019 RedDot Design Award, the 2017 IF Design Award and the Danish Design Award. “by ACRE” is our quality seal. It’s rooted in the words ‘Active’ and ‘Re-Habitare’ – the Latin word for Back to Life.

Some of our company and brand guidelines are: Remove complexity and focus on simplicity Be optimistic, joyful, and friendly Keep focus but and don't be vague

VipeOnline seeks to modernize the veterinary practice world by providing a tool in which vet clinic owners can engage in veterinary virtual care (VVC) as an extension to their veterinary practice business. The goal of the company is to create and launch a communication platform that provides 1) telemedicine and 2) automated call-back message capabilities to vet clinics.

The overarching value proposition of VIPE is to provide a tool that transforms veterinary clinics into digitally connected practices.

Campion is the AirBNB for camping - easy as that. During and a long time after the current pandemic people will have to explore and travel their nearby surroundings instead of getting on a flight to another country. Normal camping sites are not that inspirational and won't attract the people who are used to explore the world. That's why we want private landowners outside the cities to be able to rent out their grounds to campers - tents or a place to park the RV or caravan. Hosts set their own price and we take a small commission fee. Users can easily find, book and pay for the unique and never before explored places to go for the night. Spending time outdoors has proven health benefits and fosters a deeper connection to the awesome, wild world out there.
