Norway in a Box

Transparently NorwegianWe carefully select guaranteed Norwegian products, ship them via our own "digital highway of trust" to ourselves (in China) and sell them directly to end-users in the world (starting with China) through our own e-Commerce platform (and soon in our own retail stores).

Capipal

Capipal is an AI-native company building an intelligent agent for credit analysis. We’re rethinking how credit decisions are made — moving away from fragmented spreadsheets, static reports, and manual workflows toward an AI system that can read, understand, and act on financial information end-to-end. Capipal’s agent analyzes companies using financial models, credit scoring frameworks, and real-world data to produce structured outputs such as credit assessments, risk analyses, and decision recommendations. Beyond analysis, the agent can execute manual workflows — from document handling and data extraction to ongoing case management — enabling a fully integrated, agentic approach to credit work. Instead of supporting analysts, we’re building a system that can operate like one — augmenting or automating large parts of the credit decision process while keeping humans in the loop. We’re at an early stage, moving fast, and exploring fundamental questions around trust, accountability, and human-AI collaboration in financial decision-making. We’re looking for builders who thrive in ambiguity, take ownership, and want to shape the future of how capital is allocated.

Lumina

Lastly, intelligent alerts reveal hidden issues and enables proactive remote handling. This has reduced the operational resources required to manage the network, enabling operations teams to more than double their output, while also improving key performance metrics such as uptime and charging success rate.

ABEL Technologies

The Problem Most workplaces struggle with high sick leave — and the root causes are rarely acute injuries or illness. They are lifestyle-driven issues: • fatigue and low energy • stress and mental strain • poor sleep • musculoskeletal pain • unhealthy habits • lack of support These problems build up over time, and employees try to handle them alone. But people don’t change their health on their own — and employers don’t have the tools or competency to help them. The result? High sick leave costs, reduced productivity, and employees who are stuck in patterns they can’t break. Why it matters Sick leave is one of the biggest hidden costs in business. A single employee on sick leave costs on average 65 200 kr per year — and 20% of employees account for 80% of the total. Most of these cases are preventable with the right support. At the same time, people want help: 85% prefer guidance from a qualified professional rather than trying to solve health challenges alone. ABEL’s Role ABEL solves this gap. We connect employees with qualified health coaches who follow them closely over time — mentally, physically, and socially. Through structured guidance and our digital platform, we help people make sustainable lifestyle changes that reduce sick leave and increase wellbeing. The impact: Employees get better health. Companies save money. Society reduces the burden of preventable illness.

Aavuus

Aavuus is a space-tech startup building a global network of ground-based laser stations to detect and track space debris with unmatched precision. Our mission is to ensure the safety and sustainability of Earth’s orbit by providing satellite operators, Space Situational Awareness (SSA) companies, and defense organizations with accurate, timely, and affordable debris tracking data. Space has become crowded. Over 10,000 active satellites and more than hundred million debris objects currently orbit Earth, and the number of satellites is expected to grow tenfold by 2030. Even a fragment as small as one centimeter can destroy a satellite upon impact. Yet, current tracking systems are struggling to keep pace. This gap threatens not only the safety of critical assets in orbit but also the future of the global space economy, which depends on the long-term sustainability of orbital operations.

SIS: Sisters In Startup

Sisters In Startup (SIS) is a platform built to close the gender gap in entrepreneurship. Our mission is to empower women by bridging the gap between their entrepreneurial ambitions and the opportunities needed to succeed. Too often, female founders face structural barriers: lack of access to funding, networks, and mentorship. At SIS, we’re creating a digital ecosystem that changes that. Through curated resources, funding guides, community support, and actionable tools, we make it easier for women to turn ideas into sustainable businesses. SIS combines education, community, and funding readiness in one place, offering practical templates, founder stories, and growth programs tailored to each stage of the entrepreneurial journey. We believe entrepreneurship should be accessible to everyone, not just those who already have connections or capital. That’s why we’re building SIS: a space where women founders can learn, connect, and grow together. Our platform will officially launch in 2026 and is currently in development. We’re looking for a passionate co-founder who shares our vision and wants to help shape the future of female entrepreneurship in Europe (and beyond).
