Optagonen AB is a Sweden-based creative education company helping schools strengthen students’ confidence, creativity and communication skills through modern workshops in music, storytelling and AI-driven learning. Traditional school environments often struggle to engage students with formats that feel relevant today. Many young people lack confidence in expressing themselves, and teachers have limited time and tools to support creative development. We solve this by delivering a complete, high-impact workshop model where students create real cultural works together with established Swedish producers, writers and artists. Students write lyrics, record vocals, create stories, draw cover art and publish their work on major streaming platforms. The process builds self-esteem, teamwork and digital literacy through hands-on creation. Under the hood, several autonomous AI systems — built in-house — support logistics, content generation, data processing and post-production. This allows us to scale operations efficiently and deliver consistent quality across hundreds of workshops. With more than 390 workshops delivered in 150+ municipalities across Sweden, Optagonen has proven that creativity is a powerful catalyst for learning. Our mission is to expand this impact further and make creative education accessible, modern and inspiring for every school.

✅ 1: Short description (the pitch) SGC Arena is developing a combined TCG retail store, gaming lounge and community-driven event center to help youth, families and adult gamers find a safe, engaging and social space to play, compete and belong. We solve the lack of modern, inclusive gaming- and hobby environments by offering a 655 m² hybrid hub built around TCG, esport, community events and structured activities, powered by strong partnerships, low inventory risk and a highly scalable franchise-ready model. ✅ 2: The What – The problem we are solving Across Denmark, young people and adult hobby enthusiasts lack safe, structured and inspiring spaces to gather around gaming, TCG and shared interests. Most environments are either too small, too informal or lacking supervision, creating a gap between commercial gaming cafés and traditional youth facilities. At the same time, parents struggle to find positive, healthy gaming communities for their children, while hobby players (Pokémon, Magic, Lorcana) lack dedicated spaces for trading, events and tournaments. This problem affects: Children and teens seeking social belonging Adults looking for hobby communities Parents who want structured and safe gaming spaces TCG players who currently lack large-scale physical hubs Municipalities who need modern, engaging offers for youth Retail customers who want combined experiences, not just shops The demand is widespread and growing. TCG, gaming and event-based hobby retail are among the fastest-growing entertainment segments in Europe. Yet Denmark remains underserved with almost no large-scale hybrid centers combining retail, gaming, community and structured activities. SGC Arena fills this gap. ✅ 3: The How – How we solve it SGC Arena provides a 655 m² multi-zone environment combining: A full-service TCG retail store (Pokémon, Magic, Lorcana etc.) A high-end gaming lounge with esport setups A large event area for tournaments, competitions and community gatherings A social “hobby lounge” for trading, crafting and relaxed gaming A forening-driven model with daily structured activities Weekend programs with 500–1.000 visitors Consignationsaftaler reducing inventory risk dramatically A scalable operations manual and franchise blueprint for expansion to 3–8 locations Each weekday features structured activities through our association: Esport teams (20 participants daily) Hobby/TCG clubs (up to 40 per session) Weekends host large-scale TCG events, family activities, adult gaming evenings and trading meetups — creating predictable, high-volume traffic. The concept is built to scale: simple operational procedures, strong supplier partnerships, low-risk inventory, and a community-first structure that can be replicated nationally. ✅ 4: The Why – Our motivation SGC Arena is founded by Heinrich Dam Jensen, former owner of the esports organization Dream Gaming in Rødovre Centrum, where he built a strong and healthy gaming community in 2020. When COVID forced that project to close, it sparked a deep understanding of what young people and hobby-focused adults truly need: a safe, structured, social and modern environment that supports healthy gaming behavior and real-world connections. The vision has grown stronger since. Heinrich has a background in police, defence, leadership and youth work, and has seen firsthand how powerful gaming and structured hobbies can be when given the right environment. This is the foundation of SGC Arena: creating Denmark’s leading chain of gaming- and TCG-based community hubs. The motivation is simple: to give youth, families and adult hobbyists a place to belong — and to build a scalable, commercially strong concept that brings community and business together.

Lun is a satellite design automation platform that helps engineers move from concept to launch with speed and clarity. We’re starting with preliminary design, where workflows are slow, fragmented, and emotionally draining. Engineers across disciplines struggle to iterate, align, and stay motivated.

De seks principper bag vores journalistik: #1Vi er vores medlemmer Zetland findes i kraft af de mennesker, der bidrager til vores mission. Sammen spreder vi vigtig viden, nysgerrige samtaler og rum for fordybelse i en verden, der trænger vildt til dét. #2Vi giver overblik og graver dybt Vi er på jagt efter tidens store historier, ikke det, der skete for fem minutter siden. Vi fortæller ikke bare, at noget sker – men også hvorfor det sker, og hvad det betyder. #3Vi forklarer uden at forenkle De fleste af samfundets store spørgsmål er fulde af nuancer og dilemmaer – så det er vores journalistik også. Til gengæld fortæller vi historierne forfra, så enhver kan være med. #4Vi bekæmper kynisme og leder efter løsninger Når vi undersøger tidens problemer, dykker vi også ned i mulige løsninger – og alle de andre ting, der binder os sammen frem for at splitte. #5Vores teknologi er menneskevenlig Vi har ingen annoncer og stjæler ikke din data. Vi mener, etik og teknologi hører sammen. Vores produkt skal være nemt at bruge – og respektere din opmærksomhed. #6Vi er ærlige, også når vi er i tvivl Engang mente journalisten at have patent på sandheden. Sådan opbygger man ikke tillid i dag. Vi er mennesker, der kan være i tvivl og fejle – og fortæller gerne om begge dele.
