GoSuomiPro

GoSuomiPro is an online Finnish language learning platform helping international students prepare for study, work, and life in Finland before they arrive. We solve the problem of students coming to Finland without enough Finnish skills, then struggling with tuition costs, employment, integration, and long-term opportunities. Our courses help learners build practical Finnish, prepare for the YKI language test, and understand Finnish society earlier. We started GoSuomiPro because language is the bridge to belonging, jobs, education, and independence. Our mission is to help motivated students arrive prepared, save costs, and build a real future in Finland.

Nordic Waves Group

Nordic Waves Group is a Danish climate-tech and education startup building digital tools and learning experiences that help people better understand climate change, sustainability, and their own impact on the world around them. We believe one of the biggest barriers to climate action is not a lack of information, but a lack of understanding. Climate science is often complex, fragmented, and difficult to translate into everyday decisions. At the same time, traditional learning formats struggle to engage younger generations in meaningful ways. Our mission is to make climate literacy accessible, engaging, and actionable. We are currently focused on two core product areas: Greenhouse Calculator (GHC) – an AI-powered carbon footprint platform that helps users understand their emissions through intuitive calculations, personalized insights, and practical recommendations. The platform is designed to make climate impact understandable in minutes rather than hours. Educational Gaming Universe – a science-based learning platform that combines educational games, interactive experiences, and immersive technologies to teach climate and sustainability concepts. Rather than building games for entertainment alone, we are creating learning experiences with clear educational objectives, developed in collaboration with educators, game designers, developers, and climate scientists. What makes Nordic Waves unique is our interdisciplinary approach. Our team brings together professionals and volunteers from technology, climate science, education, game development, design, communications, and business development. We work closely with a Climate Scientist Board and a growing Teacher Community to ensure that our products are both scientifically credible and educationally relevant. Today, Nordic Waves is an international team of passionate contributors working across Europe and beyond. Together, we are building the tools, experiences, and learning ecosystems needed to strengthen climate literacy and empower informed decision-making in a rapidly changing world. Our long-term vision is to become a leading platform for climate learning, combining digital tools, educational content, and game-based experiences into one connected ecosystem that helps individuals, schools, organizations, and communities better understand and navigate sustainability challenges.

Mitt Barnebarn

Mitt Barnebarn er en seniorhjelp-bedrift i Trondheim. Vi hjelper hjemmeboende seniorer med det praktiske i hverdagen: renhold, hagearbeid, småreparasjoner, handling og digital hjelp. Navnet sier det meste: vi stiller opp slik et barnebarn ville gjort. Et menneske på døra, god teknologi i ryggen. Problemet vi jobber med er at mange eldre faller mellom familie som ikke rekker det, og en kommune med vedtak og ventelister. De trenger trygg, fast hjelp uten byråkrati. Det er det vi gir dem, med samme hjelper hver gang. Det som gjør oss spesielle: hjelperne våre er unge mennesker, og for mange er dette den første jobben. Hvert besøk blir et generasjonsmøte der en ungdom og en senior faktisk blir kjent. Vi tror unge kan styrke eldreomsorgen og avlaste en presset kommune, og vi bygger en bedrift som beviser det. Vi er et ungt team som bygger noe fra bunnen, og vi tenker stort: å vokse by for by, og gjøre kontoret til en hub der unge får prøve egne ideer, lære ferdigheter de tar med seg videre, og bygge noe som betyr noe. Å jobbe hos oss skal være meningsfullt, og du skal vokse av det.

MAIAA ApS

maiaa is a curated marketplace for design-led meeting and event spaces, helping companies and teams find venues with character for meaningful, in-person gatherings. We combine carefully selected spaces with a thoughtful booking flow to replace generic, transactional venue sourcing with a more human, design-driven experience. The problem we’re solving: Finding inspiring spaces for meetings and small events is still fragmented and inefficient. Companies often rely on a mix of spreadsheets, emails, and generic listing platforms that prioritize volume over quality. The result is wasted time, inconsistent experiences, and venues that don’t reflect the purpose or culture of the gathering. This affects: • companies that value design, brand, and experience • venue owners with distinctive spaces who lack the right distribution and tools Despite a clear demand for better spaces, the market remains operationally outdated and aesthetically undifferentiated. How we solve it: maiaa brings structure, curation, and clarity to the process. We: • curate a limited selection of character-rich venues rather than listing everything • focus on storytelling, aesthetics, and context — not just capacity and price • provide a request-based booking flow that respects how venues actually operate • integrate experiences and add-ons to make gatherings more intentional and complete The platform is being built to balance design sensibility, operational realism, and scalable technology — with a strong focus on usability for both guests and hosts. Why we started: maiaa grew out of firsthand experience. As a founder, operator, and boutique hospitality owner, I’ve spent years working with spaces, guests, and teams — and repeatedly experienced how broken and uninspiring venue sourcing can be, especially for gatherings that actually matter. The motivation behind maiaa is simple: to create a better alternative for people who care about where they meet, how they gather, and the experience they create together. This is not about building another marketplace — it’s about raising the standard for how physical spaces are discovered and used.

GEIST

1. The Elevator Pitch GEIST is developing next-generation sailing apparel for recreational and lifestyle sailors who want protection and freedom on the water—without the bulk, stiffness, or elitist aesthetics of traditional sailing gear. By combining high-performance materials, real-world testing, and community-driven design, GEIST delivers technical sailing wear that enhances the experience instead of getting in the way. 2. The What: What are you solving? Sailing apparel today is largely designed for professional racers or extreme offshore conditions—resulting in garments that are heavy, rigid, over-engineered, and visually disconnected from how most people actually sail. This creates a gap for: - Recreational sailors - Lifestyle / adventure sailors - Coastal and day sailors who want reliable protection from wind, spray, and weather, but also comfort, mobility, and a modern aesthetic they enjoy wearing. As a result, many sailors compromise—either wearing gear that limits movement and comfort, or using outdoor apparel not built for marine conditions. This problem affects a broad and growing segment of sailors globally, especially as sailing increasingly overlaps with outdoor lifestyle, travel, and community-driven experiences. 3. How GEIST is solving it GEIST designs sailing apparel from the experience outward. We start by deeply understanding how our users move, layer, vent heat, and interact with their gear during real sailing scenarios—not idealized ones. From there, we: - Develop function-led designs focused on mobility, breathability, and smart protection - Use premium 3-layer performance fabrics and components chosen for durability, comfort, and sustainability - Prototype early and test continuously with sailors in real conditions - Co-create features, fit, and details with our community rather than designing in isolation Our first products—a sailing jacket and trousers—are built to be worn actively on the water and comfortably before and after, bridging performance and lifestyle without compromise. 4. Why GEIST exists GEIST started from lived frustration. As a sailor and outdoor enthusiast, I repeatedly experienced how traditional sailing gear interrupted the very thing it was supposed to support—the feeling of being present, capable, and free on the water. Gear was either too stiff, too bulky, too aggressive, or simply not designed for how most people sail today. I realized this wasn’t a niche problem—it was systemic. And it wasn’t being solved because the industry hadn’t truly shifted its perspective. GEIST exists to reimagine sailing apparel from the standpoint of experience, movement, and modern sailing culture. It’s about stripping away unnecessary complexity and designing gear that supports focus, confidence, and enjoyment—so when the wind hits, the world narrows, and the gear disappears.

Danish Development Research Network (DDRN)

Danish Development Research Network (DDRN) is a non-governmental organization comprising individual and institutional members based in any country. Membership is open to researchers, students, aid practitioners, consultants, private and public entities and others who are involved in the generation, communication and application of knowledge to support sustainable development in the Global South countries. There is a wide gap between North and South in research as a resource for development. According to the UNESCO Science Report 2015, low income countries had 121 researchers per 1 mill. inhabitants, as opposed to high income countries with 3,814 researchers per 1 mill. inhabitants in 2013. During the same year, 1,363,074 scientific articles were published by researchers in OECD member states, as compared to only 3,909 articles by researchers in low income countries. Global challenges call for joint research to retrieve and combine data across North-South divides. The mutual interests between South and North researchers in exploring global solutions set agendas for research beyond conventional development studies. The emphasis in Denmark on innovation holds a potential for a broad engagement with South countries towards the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Research by South researchers working in Denmark provides knowledge resources for South-North public and private partnerships.
