HyCooker: Clean cooking with green hydrogen
Worldwide, billions of people still cook using wood, charcoal, or fossil fuels – with major consequences for health, the climate, and equality. The HyCooker offers an alternative: a cooking device powered by green hydrogen. Clean, safe, and fair.
What they’re testing: the safety, cooking performance, and user experience of hydrogen as a new, clean fuel.

ExpoTherm: Energy-efficient cooking for every kitchen
In professional kitchens, energy use is a hot topic – especially with rising prices. ExpoTherm developed a smart lid that retains heat, saves energy, and keeps food safely at temperature for longer. Ideal for food trucks and mobile kitchens.
What they’re testing: energy savings, temperature retention, ease of use, and durability under intensive festival use.

Vriezon: Sustainable cooling container without diesel
Cooling containers at festivals are often energy guzzlers running on diesel. Vriezon offers a quieter, cleaner alternative: a self-sufficient, solar-powered cooling container with a battery. Sustainable, silent, and independent of power cables or fossil fuels.
What they’re testing: cooling capacity, battery life, and technical performance under festival conditions.

Duponcho: Sustainable changing solution for athletes
(Made possible by: SIA & Sportinnovator – NHL Stenden University of Applied Sciences & Flaaks)
For athletes on the go, there’s often no comfortable place to change clothes. The Duponcho – made from 100% linen – offers comfort, privacy, and sustainability in one design. A circular solution for sporting events, beach days, and adventurers.
What they’re testing: user experience, posture before and after use, and storytelling for a successful market launch.

SimCPR: Learn CPR on your own
Many people want to learn CPR, but the barrier feels too high. SimCPR makes it accessible: with an app, an AI avatar, a practice dummy, and a smart sensor, you can learn CPR independently – with real-time feedback and a certificate to prove it.
What they’re testing: whether people with no prior experience can train independently and pass their CPR and AED certification.

During Into The Great Wide Open, Innofest presents five innovations that each, in their own way, contribute to a fairer and more sustainable world – from cleaner cooking to increasing citizen response in emergencies.

We hope these innovations get the attention they deserve – both for what they do and what they make possible. Journalists and media partners are warmly invited to come and experience it up close.

Innofest helps innovators test their prototypes at festivals and other real-life test locations. By validating their key assumptions early on, innovators increase their chances of success and gain valuable insights for investors and first customers.

Since its founding in 2016, Innofest has supported more than 350 test cases at festivals and living labs. We do this using our validated testing method, which we’ve made accessible in a practical whitepaper.
