The nominees will be assessed by a panel of high-profile business leaders, politicians and academics. The panel consists of:

  • Heidi Boye, Country Manager for Too Good To Go in Denmark.
  • Tommy Ahlers, Political spokesman (V), investor and former Minister of of Higher Education and Science.
  • Signe Wenneberg, Journalist and author.
  • Steen Hildebrandt, Professor Emeritus of Organization- and Management Theory from Aarhus University.
  • Peter Kofler, Head of Dansk Iværksætter Forening, an association for Danish Entrepreneurs.

Prior the event, CEO Jan Pedersen said:

Today, natural casings are still transported and shipped to locations far away from the production facilities for the caliber measurement and sorting. To this end, robotic solutions, like the ones we develop here at Proxima Centauri, will enable local caliber measurement and sorting, making the casing industry far more sustainable. In this instance, robotic casing sorting solutions are a win-win technology for cost savings and the environment.
