CHEXS is a spin-off company from the Space department on the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). DTU space has developed a world leading expertise in X-ray optics for high energy astrophysics missions. CHEXS is based at DTU and utilizes, on a rental basis and as required, the coating and characterization facilities at DTU.

Capra Robotics are firm believers in helping people through robots. They work to enable human flourishing by eliminating boring, unworthy, dangerous and repetitive tasks. To achieve this, they develop and manufacture mobile robot platforms, primarily for outdoor use, based on an innovative, self-developed vehicle chassis. The robot platform provides agile mobility to otherwise stationary solutions, and is designed to easily integrate with additional hard- or software, making it customizable for specific applications.

Danish Graphene ApS is a company producing and supplying graphene materials for industrial applications to enhance the performance and lifetime of products. The company builds on fundamental research from Aarhus University. Graphene has great potential to improve various components in space. Better thermal control in electronics in space can increase the lifetime of devices and lower risks of component failure to the benefit of both space missions and research. During their incubation period, the team will focus on thermal management by exploiting the excellent thermal conductivity of graphene.

StepUp Horse develops a solution for professional horse riders and trainers. Made of a wearable device for the horse to wear around its thorax, it provides real-time data to a smartwatch and a phone app. The trainers or riders can monitor vital signs during & after exercises such as breathing, heart rate and recovery parameters. In addition, they can visualize speed, stride frequency & length, distance covered, gait analysis and intensity data. The team is adding a precision GNSS system that would perform in any conditions while located directly under the horse. The new system will enable the most accurate fatigue detection and training intensity detection on the market.

ATLANT 3D is a Danish deep-tech startup developing a unique atomic layer advanced manufacturing technology for on-demand electronic materials development and microdevice manufacturing. ATLANT 3D will develop a space-certified Nanofabricator 0G with the goal of going to the International Space Station (ISS) in future missions. The machine will have the full capabilities of the Nanofabricator Lite system, allowing further testing and development of on-demand electronic materials and micro and nanodevice prototyping. This will further enable researchers and innovators with rapid materials and device development in Space.

ClearSky Vision develops cloud-free satellite images by using a novel neural network architecture to predict urban and landscape changes underneath the cloud cover. They use data from various missions (Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, Landsat 8, and more). This allows for more consistent and frequent monitoring with multi-spectral cloudless imagery. Its mission is to provide the most up-to-date optical satellite imagery possible.

SAGA Space Architects is an architecture and design studio based in Copenhagen working on making space liveable for future space travellers by designing habitats from a human perspective, where mental well-being and social sustainability are part of the life support equation. SAGA develops simulated habitats, where various methods of psychological counter-measures are tested and then further developed based on their potential. SAGA was founded in the summer of 2018 by two architects and a software engineer, Sebastian Aristotelis, Karl-Johan Sørensen, and Simon Daniel Haan Kristensen, respectively, with the hopes of bringing a fresh perspective on the space industry.  

KARL is an agricultural tech startup developing a "smart calendar" for the farming sector. With the help of satellite data, local soil and weather information is used to efficiently schedule a range of farm related tasks. KARL's goal is to ease the burden of farm management, helping producers meet the needs of a growing population both sustainably and profitably.
