TALK: ‘Building the Future’
IMPACT STAGE
The Blue Stairs
15:50-16:30
40 min.
From Copenhagen to Cape Town, the housing crisis is global. So is the environmental toll of construction. The buildings we live and work in are among the biggest climate culprits, yet at the same time, the cost of housing is spiraling, squeezing families and fueling inequality. So how do we build smarter, greener, and still affordably?
In this panel, we’ll dig into one of the defining dilemmas of our time: how to build for the future without bankrupting the planet or ourselves. From education and hands-on craftsmanship to green materials and real-world innovation, we’ll explore how sustainable construction isn’t just about new technology. It’s about people, skills, and passing on knowledge.

TALK: ‘Action Agency Gap’
The Blue Stairs
16:40-17:25
45 min.
IMPACT STAGE
The green transition has a UX problem. We know we are running out of planet, and we know we have to act. We know our daily choices matter, but we also know that climate change and green transition won’t be solved by switching to plant-based milk or biking to work; it requires action at a systemic level.
How do we bridge this gap between individual and systemic action? The bad news is: it’s complicated. The good news is: it’s far from impossible!
In this interactive session, we outline the systems driving the green transition, our role as agents in them, and the actions we can take to have a meaningful impact.

MUSIC: Melodi Ghazal - presented by Høst Møn
MELODI GHAZAL is an Iranian-Danish singer, songwriter, and producer based in Copenhagen. She creates melancholic yet hopeful left-field pop with melodic sensitivity and a distinctive tonal language.

TALK: ‘The Money Gap’
The Blue Stairs
17:30-18:15
45 min.
IMPACT STAGE
This discussion will explore the vital space between philanthropic funding and traditional investments, highlighting how financial resources can be strategically aligned to support innovative societal solutions. Central to this conversation is the need to rethink capitalism—shifting away from a focus on short-term profits and immediate gains towards a system that prioritizes social, environmental, and ethical impacts. By integrating these values into business practices and investment strategies, we can foster long-term, scalable solutions that address global challenges like climate change and inequality. Join us as we examine new funding models and opportunities to bridge the gap, reshaping how resources are allocated to build a more responsible, inclusive, and sustainable future for all.

HØST MØN STAGE
The Copenhagen quintet, consisting of two saxophones, guitar, bass, and drums, defies genre boundaries. Their sound shifts between hypnotic repetition and intense, euphoric energy, drawing inspiration from alternative rock, spiritual jazz, and minimalism.
Nausia’s music is spiritual, intense, jazzy, and heavy, and over the course of three albums they have cemented their status as one of Denmark’s most original and captivating acts.
As a live band, Nausia has already achieved several major performances in their short career, including concerts at Roskilde Festival, SPOT Festival and Copenhagen Jazz Festival.

MUSIC: X&YDE - presented by Høst Møn
X&YDE is a collaboration between two distinctive voices on the Copenhagen music scene – Xenia Xamanek and Ydegirl – both experimental artists who challenge the boundaries of electronic pop and R&B.
Together, they have created the slightly avant-garde project X&YDE – a duo that blends elements of reggaeton, Nordic baroque, new-age flutes, and fragmented beats:
“A fever dream (…) with a jazzy, dissonant edge that feels both timeless and fresh, never pretentious,” as Turn & Work wrote about their debut.

21:00-22:00
MUSIC: Spawner - presented by Høst Møn
Spawner is a Copenhagen-based trio consisting of Johan Danø Hoffmann, Jonas Engell, and Ella Moreno Risell. On their debut album Air is Getting Stranger (out October 9), they explore the feeling of drifting away from the world. A sense of wandering through a fog, where reality and dream merge in a flickering fever-light.
Their sound is a living fabric of contrasts. Fragile vocal harmonies rooted in folk and country intertwine with heavy, restless grunge riffs. Yet the love for a good pop melody is never far away.
In the tension between these extremes, an experiment emerges: three voices, three temperaments, which in meeting each other create something fourth – a new, undefinable community where differences become strength.
Spawner replaces 100%WET, who unfortunately had to cancel their show at this year’s festival. Spawner will perform Friday at 9:00 PM.

MUSIC: Wedding - presented by Høst Møn
We're very excited to present the Copenhagen-based trio that combines big beat energy and post-punk coolness in a euphoric darkness.
It's fast drums, loud guitars, and big melodies that are dreamy and introspective one moment, and the next call for a pulsating party..
