At LifeBoard ApS we are designing the new generation of public rescue equipment, a rescue board, that makes a difference. The LifeBoard® ensures that beachgoers as civil rescuers have the necessary tool at hand to safely stabilize an accidents out in the water. We want to increase water safety on beaches by analyzing and customize safety solution with theLifeBoard®. With the LifeBoard® surfboardlooking design it is easier for civil beachgoers to use compared to the lifebuoy ring. The ring is not designed to be used for swimming rescues, but to be thrown from harbors, piers and boats. The lifebuoy ring is considered inefficient on flat beaches, where it is rarely used successfully. The aim with the LifeBoard® is to avoid civil rescuers from becoming a victim in the at- tempt of rescueing another and to decrease swimming-related fatal drownings by 50%. With the LifeBoard® civil rescuers can reach a distressed faster and safer. Safety to avoid a fatal drowning of the civil rescues and/or victims. Fast to save the victim before it is too late, since a drowning can happen in less than 60 sec and reducing the risk of permanent injuries and hospitalisation of near-drowning victims. If you are interested in water safety or becoming a part of our journey, don’t hesitate to contact us 😊🤙

GRASSROOTS aims to revolutionize donations to charity through a digital platform, with the ultimate goal of creating a global standard for donations. The problem that we are trying to solve is that when donating to large charitable organizations today, the feedback that donors receive when donating is most often a yearly report of what the entire organizations has been doing for that entire year. With single donations there is often no feedback. This means that it's not possible to see where your individual donation went, or if it made any difference. The solutions is a tailor made tool for large charitable organizations that improves communication, transparency, customer engagement and enables more efficient work, where donors will be able to see exactly where their donation went. GRASSROOTS is a non-profit organization.

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?

Plastic waste and single use packaging is one of the great unsolved problems for our planet. In Europe the average person generates almost 500 kg of waste a year of which 35% comes from packaging. Most of this packaging is used for food and beverage products and is becoming an immense waste problem all over the planet. At Cirqle we want to tackle a part of this problem and believe that one of the grand solutions are a reuse model. We are creating a new paradigm in packaging and want to make it as convenient to reuse as it is to throw away. Our vision is to be the leading platform for reuse packaging in the circular economy. With our pioneering packaging solution, we enable a seamless shift from single use to reuse packaging. We are already breaking new ground with our meal-box service, but the sky is the limit when it comes to reuse packaging. With partners we cover the full supply chain from hardware production and software development to sanitation and logistics for a multitude of packaging solutions making sustainability the easy choice.
