Oskara presents: PORPLE. PORPLE helps companies to start incorporating security into their software development. PORPLE does this by evaluating multiple different aspects of software development to suggest what action provides the best return. "We need to change. We can't fix everything at once. PORPLE helps us get going". The cybersecurity market is NOT adapted to help companies balance security with the current pace of demand. Instead, there are 2 extremes. Either the patch-work, buy-more-security tools method, where you try to fix issues after they've been discovered, OR the overhaul method, where it's expected that companies seize all other operations, to fix their security flaws. Both of these options are too expensive, too slow, and don't provide either sufficient security, happy workers, or good returns on investments. PORPLE covers the spectrum between these 2 extremes. We understand that companies need to change, but also that reality makes this hard, so you have to be smart with your decisions. Sometimes it's the purchase of security tools, sometimes education sometimes just a little line of code, but there's a time and a place for all of these. I (Oskar) started working on making PORPLE a product as during my career, both as a developer and cybersecurity advisor, I've seen that there exist no flexible options for companies, which usually results in companies either choosing to gamble with their security or waste huge amounts of money because they don't understand the huge field that is cybersecurity.

Girls' education is an incredibly powerful climate solution due to its stong relationship with child marriage prevention and subsequent delayed motherhood; impacting population growth and lowering consumption-based emissions. 130 million girls in the world's poorest and most climate-vulnerable communities are effectively excluded from education due to poverty. Humanitarian organizations in low-income countries constantly struggle to fundraise and are never able to fully meet the needs of the most marginalized. SoGreen is a startup with a big heart and an even bigger ambition: A world where all girls realise their right to education and climate justice is placed at the heart of all climate action. In collaboration with leading scientists at renowned European research institutions in the field of demography and climate science,* SoGreen has developed a methodology to quantify the climate impact of girls' education in tonnes CO2-equivalent avoided. This allows for the generation of carbon credits (1 ton = 1 carbon credit) which can be sold on the international carbon market to channel climate finance to girls' education. In partnership with FAWEZA, a leading pan-African NGO focusing on girls' education, SoGreen's pilot project is being implemented in Zambia. Over the coming 5 years, the project will ensure a full secondary education for 180 marginalized girls. All carbon credits generated by the project have been sold ex ante to over 30 companies that have ambitious sustainability strategies, which allow for the use of carbon credits in addition to reducing their own emissions. SoGreen aims to be the provider of the worlds most popular carbon credits within the next 5 years; resulting in a powerful reduction in emissions and a massive increase in educational attainment - a basic human right. *International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) in Austria, Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) in Germany, and The Wittgenstein Centre for Demography and Global Human Capital (WIC) in Austria.

Let’s Roll connects the global roller skating community in a social network built for roller skating. Our goal is to gather all the roller skaters, all the skate spots, and all the knowledge of the community in one place. The Let's Roll app tries to take on some of the key problems facing skaters all over the world: Where do I skate, who do I skate with, and how do I progress in my skills? We try to combine these elements, into an exercise tracker, focused on roller sports and specifically roller skating. We want to collect and share the collective knowledge of the global skate community using modern GPS tracking, to locate all the best skate locations for different styles around the world, and we want to make it easy for skaters to connect with others in their area. Finally, we want to create a resource for learning new moves and tricks and make it easy to track progress and unlock new abilities as a skater. We are friends, roller skaters, and tech nerds from Ukraine and Denmark who have banded together to create the Let’s Roll App. We love the skating community and how roller skating brings joy to people, and we believe the best ideas are created when you listen to the people you want to service. For that reason, the Let’s Roll app has been built with direct involvement from a growing community of skaters from day one.

We want to fight climate change and social inequality. Certification today is broken. A lack of transparency and trust in supply chains, and connection to what's happening on the ground, have resulted in the massive climate, biodiversity and human crises we see today. At Earthtrust, we are building the product and infrastructure to support a new agenda focused on radical transparency so that social and environmental claims made by companies and other organisations can be properly verified. We will democratize verification and we will provide a mechanism to stamp out greenwashing.

Disruptive distribution of farm equipment and supplies. Unified commerce; digitized, local, personal. Creates conditions for fair and sustainable farming. Farmers First, a Swedish start-up, decided to solve the problem with the domination from the tractor manufacturers in the value chain for agricultural machines. This domination leads to difficulties for big and small implement manufacturers to reach the farmers. It is also leading to lack of competition and higher than necessary prices for the farmers. “Somebody had to do something about the broken value chain – We decided to be Somebody!” The current value chain is not able to re-invent and solve the problem. A disruptive solution is needed. The Farmers First solution is combining digitalisation of machine sales with online expert help and a local network of workshops. It is including a maintenance solution to extend machine lifetime and improve farmers financials. The platform is creating networking and use integrated marketing methods. It is a Tech-solution in the AgTech area with a platform providing a Marketplace and E-commerce. To create an open and competitive value chain for agricultural machines is important for the climate, securing access to new innovative machines for efficient farming and regenerative methods, and to improve self sufficiency in food production. We are driven by this purpose, are convinced that putting farmers first is the right way to go, and are determined to solve the problem. We are warmly welcomed by manufacturers, retailers and farmers. We have launched, we see sales starting to pick up, and we are now gearing up to be able to grow sales and scale in Europe.

Nordic Electrofuel offers a solution for the rapid transition from fossil to renewable electrical energy for all transport sectors. It is based on the conversion of renewable electric energy into liquid electro-fuels that can be as easily transported, stored, and used as conventional fossil hydrocarbons. It also provides a good solution to distribute and store stranded electrical energy. PTL (Power To Liquid) has been considered too expensive, but with the low electricity price in Norway and new efficient processing and upgrading solutions, it has become commercially feasible. Electrification of transportation is required to avoid catastrophic climate change. Battery- or cable-electric solutions are not feasible for transport like aviation and long-distance marine transport. Liquid energy carriers such as biofuels are desperately needed but limited. The fuel is free of sulfur and can therefore be used maritime industry as a fuel after 2022. The fuel emits much fewer particles and aromatics than conventional fossil fuel, so it also solves the local pollution problem. Competitive advantages: • Norway’s low electricity price from hydro and lately also wind power. • 20 - 30 % lower electricity consumption than with existing technology • Lower production price than advanced biofuels • Agreements in place for a site at Herøya, which has all utilities (cooling water, cheap renewable electricity, etc.) and processing expertise available. • About the same source to shaft efficiency as hydrogen, but with much lower total CAPEX due to no investment in distribution systems and engines.
