Copenhagen Institute For Futures Studies
The Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies (Instituttet for Fremtidsforskning) is an independent, non-profit futures think tank – founded in 1969. We help people and organisations imagine, work with, and shape their future. The Institute was founded in 1969 by former Danish Finance Minister and OECD-Secretary General, Professor Thorkil Kristensen, with the support of visionary public and private organisations, to better qualify decision-making through futures studies and to contribute to the betterment of our society. That is our purpose. The Institute is today a truly global entity working with public, private, philanthropic, and academic organisations around the world. We act as an advisory, a publisher, an event organiser, and as an initiator of various future orientated joint-venture initiatives. The Institute is also configured as a community of sorts, offering memberships for organisations and individuals. We believe that, as the Institute itself, the future belongs to no-one and yet to everyone. We are by decree here to contribute to the betterment of our society, meaning better for the largest possible number of stakeholders. Our own definition of better is based on our perception of our Nordic values firmly rooted in trust, equality, openness, integrity, and inclusiveness, and a society where critical decisions about the future are based on insights, not intuition. Our research within futures studies is essentially about spotting initial signals, identifying patterns, and convert analysis into insights about potential futures. The Institute does not predict the future, this is of course impossible, but instead we generate the best possibly qualified assumptions for potential futures. All of the Institute’s profits are allocated to further futures studies and to realising our purpose.

Bugging Denmark
Edible insects are the food of the future. They are sustainable, healthy, and they taste great. At Bugging Denmark, our mission is to gently introduce edible insects as an integral part of our culinary and cultural everyday life. To this end, we have established what is currently the country's only urban cricket farm, producing edible insects in the Northwestern part of Copenhagen. By introducing a simple but efficient setup for rearing insects we hope to establish a model that can be copied at communities and in homes all over the country as well as abroad. We believe that large-scale insect farming is part of our future food production. Rather than repeating the mistakes of the past, we aim to make insect farming as sustainable as possible as fast as possible. This entails using sustainable feed sources instead of more traditional, commercial feed. In the collaborative effort we have named the Urban Ecosystem, we are optimizing Insect farming to an urban environment by using the many hidden resources of the city to drive insect rearing. Thus, together with like-minded collaborators, we wish to convert what was previously considered waste products into valuable resources. As such, left-overs from beer and juice production are now being used as feed at our farm. The end-goal is to produce carbon neutral protein for human consumption. In Bugging Denmark, we wish to empower communities to take the challenges of sustainable development into their own hands. Instead of the constant dire warnings of the fast approaching foodapocalypse, we provide a set of simple tools to nudge our food consumption patterns in a more sustainable direction. As part of this outreach, we offer courses and give presentations on edible insects and insect farming. Edible insects pique our curiosity and stimulate our creativity, both in the kitchen and in our everyday lives. As a novel contribution to our society, they force us to reconsider what constitutes food and thus challenge some of the central dogmas of our society. Once one learns to question this particular dogma, one also becomes more prone to question other dogmas that were once considered set in stone. They open our eyes, force us to view the world with more flexibility and therefore hold the power to be a transformative power in society. Since insects are a new phenomenon in Western culture, no social class, ethnicity, religion or age group has a natural ownership over them. With edible insects, everyone starts out on an even footing. They are a generator of equality. We therefore use edible insects to welcome people from all branches of society into a green movement. Edible insects are a source of social as well as environmental sustainability and, until proven otherwise, we believe their potential is endless.

Intinia
Intinia was founded in the summer of 2021 by a group of experienced professionals united by a common mission: to address one of the most urgent challenges facing society and businesses today — the growing shortage of skilled and innovative talent. INTINIA Brand Story (Short Version): In a world obsessed with perfection, INTINIA celebrates the cracks. Drawing inspiration from ancient sculpture and the Japanese art of Kintsugi, INTINIA represents a timeless truth: that resilience, identity, and beauty emerge not despite our fractures—but through them. The name itself evokes an imagined space—part sanctuary, part forge—where transformation happens from the inside out. Whether you are building technology, reimagining systems, or reshaping yourself, INTINIA stands for intentional reinvention—artfully crafted, deeply human. At Intinia, we ask the critical questions: – How can we ensure that “young seniors” remain motivated and equipped with the right incentives and learning environments to continue developing their skills and cognitive abilities? – How can organizations retain and harness valuable experience and competencies, particularly in the face of widespread AI adoption? These are the challenges we help organizations navigate — turning potential loss into strategic advantage.

Kraka
Virksomheden Krakas mission er, at tilvejebringe og formidle viden, der kan medvirke til at balancere hensyn og politiske beslutninger på tre områder: Individet, erhvervene og den offentlige sektor. Kraka producerer og formidler fagøkonomisk viden, som er af høj kvalitet og relevant for den samfundsøkonomiske udvikling i Danmark. Vores arbejde er alene baseret på faglighed - ikke en politisk ideologi. Og det er meningsløst at forsøge at placere os i en bestemt økonomisk ”skole”. Krakas analyser er relevante og tager derfor udgangspunkt i de faktiske forhold i Danmark. Dvs. et grundlæggende markedsøkonomisk system med en - i forhold til andre lande - stor offentlig sektor. Vi analyserer samfundsøkonomien i Danmark, og med vores fagøkonomiske udgangspunkt foreslår vi justeringer og strukturelle tilpasninger, der langsigtet udvikler og tilpasser velfærdsmodellen. Kraka analyserer ligeså den internationale verden med udgangspunkt i Danmarks placering og rolle i denne. Således er EU et centralt fokus og den afledede effekt på den danske politiske beslutningsproces som følger af beslutninger truffet i Bruxelles.
