LECOFOOD
Leco Convenience Food A / S develops, produces and sells sous vide products for
retail, catering / foodservice and industrial customers in the Nordic region .The
term sous vide means directly translated ”under emptiness”. The ingredients are
vacuum packed and placed in a water bath while the temperatures are regulated
carefully. This preserves the flavour of the products in a way that often exceeds
traditional cooking. At the same time, the dishes are preserved without adding
any form of preservatives.

BIOCOVER
BioCover is specialized in sustainable use of organic fertilizers and has developed
the SyreN system for application of slurry to farmland.
The SyreN system is able to capture even more ammonia and transfer it to the
more stable ammonium and reduce the ammonia emission with up to 80%.
Through a unique automatic process control the SyreN+ thereby optimizes liquid
manure logistics, economy and reduce negative environmental effects from liquid
manure spreading.

SECONDSUN
Second Sun use green energy for better pitches. Second Sun have developed
innovative reflector systems for sports stadiums to re-direct sunlight to areas
where the grass needs growth. The grass will receive more natural sunlight and
heat for growth in the spring and fall. Second Sun is bringing sunlight and heat to
the pitches. The foil reflects full spectrum sunlight to give the grass high quality
natural sunlight – green and free energy.

                                                We see an explosive growth in the use of wireless sensors in the IoT, but these
                                                sensors rely on batteries for power. Because batteries are expensive, pollute the
                                                environment and require replacement, we believe there is a better way to do this
                                                by substituting the battery with a power source that never depletes and never

                                                The founder, Sofie Dralle, started StopMyCraving after struggling with cravings
                                                and food allergies. At the same time, she had a back injury and was unable to
                                                move outside the four walls of her house. Being stuck inside, the cravings grew
                                                and taught by society to suppress cravings rather than embrace them, she found
                                                that this lead to an unsustainable diet.

        By developing the PreCure Elbow, patients can be warned when a load becomes
        too large, too long or too high, which can prevent damage and designate par-
        ticularly stressful work functions. It is a fantastic technique to prevent disabilities
        and improving the rehabilitation process for patients with e.g. tennis elbows. And
        if the damage is already present, the product can be used for patients to learn
        which features and movements to avoid.

                                                BioPhero has developed revolutionary technologies that allow for the low-cost
                                                production of insect pheromones via fermentation. Pheromones are produced
                                                from basic raw materials in a single fermentation step using yeasts, in a process
                                                similar to beer brewing. Historically, the cost of pheromone production has been
                                                the biggest barrier to adoption of these safe and environmentally friendly solu-
                                                tions. Now that we have overcome this barrier, pheromone technologies can be
                                                provided to the farmer at the same cost as conventional insecticides.

        LIV LAB by BEATTS
        Biologists, engineers and designers are currently only able to develop their early
        stage projects with in the context of expensive institutional facilities. There is a
        lack of affordable co working facilities that would allow them to work indepen-
        dently to develop their early stage projects and IP. LIV LABS helps provide an af-
        fordable and independent co working lab for biologists, engineers and designers
        to help them develop their early stage projects.
