Husheye er en innovativ startup, der har udviklet et støjreducerende cover til varmepumper. Med stigende fokus på bæredygtige energiløsninger er varmepumper blevet en populær valgmulighed for mange husejere. Dette har dog medført en udfordring i form af støjgener, der kan påvirke både brugere og deres naboer negativt. Husheye's løsning adresserer dette problem direkte ved at tilbyde en effektiv støjdæmpning. Markedspotentialet er enormt, ikke kun fordi antallet af varmepumper forventes at stige betydeligt i de kommende år. Vores idé har potentialet til at gøre en mærkbar forskel for samfundet ved at facilitere overgangen til grønnere energikilder. Ved at reducere støj fra varmepumper gør vi det mere attraktivt for husejere at vælge denne bæredygtige løsning, hvilket kan bidrage til en reduktion i CO2-udledningen. Investering fra Innovationsfonden vil være afgørende for at bringe vores projekt til det næste niveau. Midlerne vil blive anvendt til videreudvikling af vores teknologi, herunder optimering af vores støjreducerende materialer og design, samt til at skabe opmærksomhed omkring vores produkt. Dette vil accelerere vores vej til markedet. På langt sigt har Husheye potentiale for vækst ved at innovere og udvide vores sortiment med løsninger for diverse varmepumper. Vi øjner også international vækst, idet efterspørgslen er global. Med en solid forretningsstrategi og Innovationsfondens støtte, sigter vi mod at blive førende inden for støjreduktion af varmepumper.

Several chronic diseases such as cancer are complicated by cachexia, a debilitating condition characterised by loss of body weight and muscle mass with negative impact on patients' physical, mental, and social well-being. Cancer cachexia affects 80% of cancer patients and is linked with up to 30% of cancer associated deaths. Current treatment approaches fail to address the multifactorial aspect of the condition, are ineffective, and have adverse side effects. The absence of effective therapies and EMA/FDA approved drugs shows how cancer cachexia is still a major unmet medical need. In DAPHEXIA we will address this large unmet medical need by developing the first solution with potential to address the multifaceted cachexia pathology. Our innovative solution builds on the combination of the natural occurring Ghrelin hormone and Neuropeptide Y (NPY: targeting Y5 receptor) in a single dual acting peptide. We will enable the stimulation of different pathways, in a multimodal approach, with the potential to i) increase appetite, ii) decrease energy expenditure, iii) reduce inflammation, while also iv) reducing muscle wasting. Moreover, by describing the metabolic aspects and the mechanism-of-action of our dual concept we will bring new knowledge to the field cancer cachexia for the benifit of the academic society. Finally, we will by DAPHEXIA develop our selected clinical candidate from the current preclinical stage up to the stage of clinical Phase 1.

In order to reach the political climate target of reducing carbon emissions by 70 % in 2030, the Innomission partnership MissionGreenFuels (MGF) aims to accelerate the renewable energy transition. As stressed in the partnership roadmap from 2021, it is critical to ensure support not only from private companies, public authorities and political stakeholders, but also the Danish civil society. Public and private stakeholders experience substantial skepticism and widespread concern from local citizens and interest groups when investors and developers initiate the establishment of vital technologies in the upstream production of green fuels like wind turbines, solar parks and Power-to-X (PtX) plants. To support the mission, this project will develop a national model for citizen engagement in the transition towards green fuels. In collaboration with key partners and with an interdisciplinary social scientific approach, including law, political science and anthropology, the project will design a model that enhances collaboration across scales. The model will thereby guide stakeholders across the green fuels value chain in creating engagement among local citizens. This will lead to three results: 1) Mitigate time consuming and costly conflicts with local citizens and interest groups, 2) provide an innovative environment for collaboration across the value chain, and 3) open a public dialogue for developing an engaged and democratic citizenship within the renewable energy transition.
