Omnio is a Copenhagen-based software company with extensive experience in industrial IoT. We consider ourselves industry leaders in connecting operational technology (OT) to IT systems and unifying the data for use in a wide range of IoT and Industry 4.0 initiatives - such as advanced analytics and monitoring. In order to make this task easy for our customers, we have developed a vast library of software connectors for various industrial devices such as frequency converters, circuit breakers, meters, etc. Our software solutions use this library to collect raw device data and deliver it unified and ready to use. This means our customers don’t need to read device manuals, do bespoke programming or data normalization for each device. By using Omnio, our customers can divert their focus from manual and time-consuming device integration to delivering business value through their IoT application. Omnio is primarily being used by IoT applications within key industry verticals such as Manufacturing, Power & Water Utilities, Maritime, Oil & Gas and Commercial Buildings.

CanopyLAB is an educational technology company located in Hvidovre, Greater Copenhagen, Denmark. We have built an AI-powered social learning platform for corporate training. Through personalization our platform enables all learners to realize their potential in a way that is fast, fun and future-proof. We call it "The Future of Learning- Delivered Today"​. The Canopy is where we design white label solutions for corporate learning and communication. The LAB offers free and global learning with leading NGOs on focusing on the UN 17 Sustainable Development Goals and humanities. CanopyLAB er en dansk EdTech virksomhed grundlagt i 2015. Vores vision om at ændre den måde, vi lærer på, blev konceptualiseret baseret på vores administrerende direktør Sahra-Josephine Hjorts igangværende Ph.D.-forskning ved Aalborg Universitet, der fokuserede på virtuelle læringsmiljøer, sociale medier og frisættelse gennem læring. Hun dannede hurtigt par med Christian Skræm Juul Jensen, som omsatte forskningen og visionen til en ny og fundamentalt anderledes digital læringsplatform. I april 2020 opkøbte CanopyLAB det peruvianske start-up forlag, Yopublico og tilbyder nu start-til-slut løsninger inden for læring og udgivelser gennem kontorer i Columbia, Danmark, Peru, USA og Vietnam, CanopyLAB servicerer på nuværende tidspunkt over 200 virksomheder og uddannelsesinstitutioner i mere end 20 forskellige lande med virtuel- og blended læringsoplevelser. I 2020 blev vi anerkendt af Elearning Industry på deres prestigefyldte liste over top LMSer og LXPer i kategorierne Kundeservice og Bedste Læringsoplevelse.

Our vision is bold. We believe in a world where global communities of connected learners can acquire exceptional knowledge in their chosen subjects more freely, more efficiently and more rewardingly than ever before. Our team is dedicated to improving the nature of learning by harnessing technology and data to transform how world-class content is delivered, consumed and shared. Our challenge We’ve set ourselves a fairly audacious challenge: to change the way the world learns. Our first step has been to combine world-class content with innovative learning technology to make it much more accessible to the student community. We’re now working away feverishly to make this content as dynamic, adaptable and personalized as the studying styles of tomorrow’s learners. Increasing academic freedom. Today’s students are more collaborative than ever in their approach to learning. They also consume information in a much more fluid, on-demand way. This learning revolution underpins our mission to radically transform the way world-class textbook content is packaged and delivered, making it more accessible, collaborative and powerful. Transformative technology. Infinite learning possibilities. We’re passionate about using our software expertise to help students perform better and realize their full potential. We’re constantly exploring new ways to build on our unique learning technology so that we can deliver a continually improved learning experience. Data-driven learning We believe that data is pivotal to transforming education and we know that the publishing industry does too. Publishers are becoming more reliant on purchasing, referencing and collaboration data to inform them which content is performing well, which needs to be edited or reorganized, and which is outdated or simply no longer read. Our platform has been designed to harness the full power of learning data and make it highly accessible to publishers. We always welcome a coffee break and pls contact us

If everyone lived the lifestyle of us in the United States, the Earth's resources for the entire year of 2021 would have been used up by March 14, 2021 (US Overshoot Day). We need 5 Earths to sustain our lifestyle but we have just one planet. Let's work together to change that.

Blue Lines’ mission is to help people understand the significant climate impact of contrails and the easy, cheap, and available solutions that need to be implemented to manage contrails and instantly eliminate 1-2% of global warming. We envision a near future where everyone in the aviation industry will easily manage contrails to lower the global temperature and slow climate change. 🌎 CO2 from aircraft engine emissions has a very low climate impact, but it lasts for centuries, while the climate impact of condensation trails is very high but only lasts a few hours. If we eliminate most warming contrails, we will, therefore, be cooling down the planet almost instantly, which we desperately need to limit global warming to well below 2.0 C, according to the 2015 Paris Agreement.
