- ReLift: ReLift is a startup that develops and designs an aid that will ensure better conditions and increased quality of life for the elderly and debilitated citizens in the society. More specifically, ReLift is an automatic and adjustable aid that ensures the correct sitting position when visiting the toilet. The modern toilets, that place the body at 90° angle, do not accommodate the anatomy of the body.
The angle creates a too narrow passage in the bowel, as the puborectal muscle sling squeezes around the rectum and narrows the passage to the stool. It is further exacerbated by the use of, for example, a raised toilet seat.
- Siana: Siana is a hardware-enabled SaaS startup dedicated to assisting manufacturing and utility companies in preventing costly unplanned downtime resulting from sudden machine failure. This is done using Siana's intuitive AI-based predictive maintenance technology, which is used for monitoring a wide range of critical equipment, particularly rotating machines like motors, pumps, gears, bearings etc. Using AI, we can accurately predict failures and breakdowns up to two months in advance, empowering maintenance teams to more proactively plan and perform maintenance, before an emerging failures lead to costly break downs.

These crustaceans present a significant challenge to our coastal marine ecosystems, causing both economic and environmental harm. Fishermen inadvertently capture substantial quantities of shore crabs as by-catch, leading to equipment damage and reduced potential catches. Our innovative approach transforms this abundant resource into three highly sought-after protein products, meeting the demands of the feed- and petfood sector.
- Kitemill: Kitemill is a technology company that will revolutionize the wind power industry.
