The healthcare industry is rapidly evolving to meet the growing demand for accessible, affordable, and efficient medical care. Medical devices have become an essential part of modern healthcare by enabling early disease detection, accurate diagnosis, continuous patient monitoring, and timely clinical decision-making. As global populations grow, chronic diseases increase, and healthcare systems face mounting pressure from shortages of medical professionals, innovative medical technologies are becoming critical to delivering quality care. Medical technology startups are playing a key role in this transformation by developing next-generation solutions that combine advanced software, portable hardware, and digital health technologies. Our company is a Copenhagen-based startup focused on developing innovative Point-of-Care (POC) diagnostic technologies. Our mission is to create intelligent, portable, and user-friendly medical devices that enable faster diagnosis and support decentralized healthcare delivery. The company has already developed a medical device that is classified as Software as a Medical Device (SaMD), registered in EUDAMED and with Danish Medical Agency, demonstrating our expertise in creating clinically relevant software solutions that comply with modern medical device regulations. Building on this foundation, we are now developing our own portable processing device designed specifically for PoC applications. The device integrates powerful processing capabilities with advanced medical software to perform diagnostic analysis directly at the point of care, reducing dependence on centralized laboratory infrastructure. A key strength of our technology is its modular platform architecture. Rather than developing standalone devices for individual applications, we are building a scalable processing platform that supports multiple diagnostic modules. Our first product will introduce the core portable device with its initial diagnostic capability. Future medical applications and diagnostic modules can then be added through hardware and software upgrades, allowing healthcare providers to expand functionality without replacing the entire system. This approach reduces costs, extends product life, and provides a flexible solution that evolves with clinical needs. The demand for PoC diagnostics continues to grow as healthcare systems worldwide face significant shortages of physicians, nurses, and laboratory personnel. Delays in diagnostic testing can increase patient waiting times, prolong treatment decisions, and place additional pressure on hospitals and laboratories. PoC devices address these challenges by enabling rapid testing and analysis close to the patient, whether in hospitals, clinics, emergency settings, pharmacies, home healthcare, or remote locations. Faster diagnosis leads to earlier treatment, improved workflow efficiency, and better patient outcomes while reducing the burden on centralized healthcare facilities. Our portable processing platform supports this shift toward decentralized healthcare by providing reliable, easy-to-use diagnostic technology that delivers rapid clinical information wherever it is needed. The modular design ensures long-term adaptability, enabling future diagnostic capabilities to be integrated into the same platform as healthcare requirements continue to evolve. As a medical device startup operating from Copenhagen, we are committed to advancing digital health through innovation, engineering excellence, and regulatory compliance. Our long-term vision is to establish a comprehensive modular PoC platform that supports multiple medical applications and contributes to a more accessible, efficient, and patient-centered system.

Pelea

Pelea is the peer-to-peer prediction platform that makes watching sport more fun, and turns fan communities into thriving ecosystems. We let anyone become a "Game Creator." Influencers, Facebook group admins, sports bars, and fan clubs build Game Cards with simple football questions, invite their people, and run the action. No odds. No spreads. No jargon. Just react, play, and settle who actually knows their football. It is genuinely peer-to-peer. Players compete against each other, not the house. In private games you play among friends, and in public games you play against other people in the community. For Creators and Community leaders you get a turnkey solution to monetize the audience and create amazingly engaging content. We (currently) operate exclusively for residents of Denmark, require MitID verification, enforce an 18+ minimum age, and are committed to responsible play. Sport is better when everyone engages.

2DAYS OF BEAUTY

2DAYS OF BEAUTY was created with a clear mission: To create a beauty universe where visitors meet as much of the industry as possible, experience, learn and become equipped to choose what is right for them. That is why 2DAYS OF BEAUTY brings the entire beauty industry together under one roof at FORUM Copenhagen in September 2026. Today, consumers are navigating a jungle of products, clinics and treatments — and it can be almost impossible to know what is truly right for you. With 2DAYS OF BEAUTY, we are creating a two day universe where knowledge, inspiration and experience come together. A place where brands, practitioners and visitors meet at eye level and are inspired through experiences, insight and dialogue. We want to be the place where consumers can see, try and understand what really works and where professional players get a unique opportunity to build relationships, trust and visibility.

Nature Climbing

Nature Climbing sprouted from a simple idea in 2014: to create climbing gear that bridges the gap between indoor and outdoor climbing. This led us to create our first real rock holds, but has since expanded to much more – all of it intended to get climbers in closer contact with the natural origins of our sport and help them accomplish their goals. In our small workshop in Denmark, we infuse our love for climbing and the planet into everything we make.

Vinduespudserskolen

På Vinduespudserskolen bygger vi et SAAS, der optimerer hverdagen for selvstændige vinduespudsere, som vil frem i trafikken, hvilket vores elever heldigvis vil. Kort om vores historie: Vinduespudserskolen startede i 2021 som et AMU-kursus og blev i midten af 2022 til en privat uddannelse, da flere elever efterspurgte undervisning i abonnementsdrift og virksomhedsdrift. Siden da har vi hjulpet mange elever med at skabe deres egne succesfulde abonnementsforretninger, og vi støtter dem dagligt med alt fra drift til forretningsudvikling – og nu også software. Selve undervisningen foregår på Frederikssundsvej 345, mens vores backoffice er placeret på Vestergade 16 i København. Vinduespudserskolen (uden SaaS-overbygning) rummer arbejdsplads til 4 medarbejdere. Selve SAAS-produktet er en overbygning på skolen og finansieres af skolen. Vi er et mindre, agilt team, startet på 1 fuldtidsudvikler, og nu byder vi velkommen til 4 remote-udviklere og dig, som sidder med teamet på Vestergade i KBH. I dag har vi givet adgang til 50 af de forretninger, vi selv har hjulpet med at bygge, som er i opstartsfasen, altså accounts med under 200 kunder. På vores venteliste har vi mange større firmaer, som vi selv har bygget fra bunden med eleverne. Vores elever er selvfølgelig det vigtigste for skolen, og vi skylder dem at implementere nye features hurtigere, end vi gør nu.

PayTjek

PayTjek is developing an AI-powered payroll verification platform that helps employees detect and resolve salary discrepancies through automated collective agreement analysis and intelligent error detection. Payroll errors are a widespread and costly problem, with billions lost each year because employees never uncover them. Payslips are often complex and difficult to understand without specialist knowledge of collective agreements and labor laws — expertise usually reserved for lawyers, union representatives, and HR professionals. This leaves everyday workers, from healthcare staff to teachers, at risk of losing money they are rightfully owed. PayTjek democratizes payroll expertise. Employees simply upload their payslip, and our AI analyzes salary data, cross-references it with relevant collective agreements, checks against work schedules and contracts, and flags discrepancies or missing payments. The results are delivered in clear, plain language, giving workers both understanding and actionable next steps. Our technology is built to interpret even the most complex Danish labor agreements, with a roadmap to expand across European markets. We are driven by a strong sense of fairness. Payroll verification has long been out of reach for the people who need it most. Without the right tools, employees have been left powerless in the face of errors. PayTjek exists to change that — to return knowledge, transparency, and financial control to workers, starting with healthcare employees in Denmark and expanding to empower workers across Europe.
