The main piece of equipment in the gym is the barbell. It is as simple in its form as it is timeless in its design. But when it comes to using the proper safety equipment that comes with the barbell, that’s when the flaws become visible. Today’s methods of securing weight plates to a barbell is done by using collars or clips, which often lead to a poor user experience, and they are often hard to put on and pull off, can easily break or slip during lifts, they are often hard to find and even disappears. The Olympic barbell has remained virtually the same for the last 93 years, and despite today’s standards, improvements can be made. In a seemingly ever-growing market, people’s expectations of safety, design, quality, and user-friendliness in products are on the rise. Gungnir of Norway is a Norwegian startup company that designs and manufactures high-quality gym equipment. The company’s first product is the Allrounder, a standard Olympic barbell with built-in collars for securing weight plates. The built-in collar system or “SlideLock” makes the lifting experience safer, faster, easier, and more reliable than the standard safety equipment in use today. Also, the SlideLock system can be applied to several other bar types like compact group training bars or loadable dumbbells. This solution has shown enormous potential in the fitness market, which we intend to continue to take advantage of. The SlideLock is the first of many solutions that we seek to create within the fitness equipment industry. We started as a company in 2018 in Oslo, Norway, with an idea for a better solution to a problem well known to many who use weightlifting equipment regularly. Gungnir’s vision is to become the new standard solution for securing weight plates worldwide. A game-changing solution to a century old problem.

Cobrief is developing an AI-powered public procurement platform to help businesses across all industries find, evaluate, and win government tenders — replacing manual, time-consuming bid processes with intelligent automation that acts like having an extra colleague on the team. Public procurement represents over 800 billion NOK annually in Norway alone, yet the average government tender receives only around 3–5 bids. In nearly 20% of tenders, only one or zero suppliers submit a bid. The reason: tender data is scattered across closed platforms, the process is complex, and small businesses lack the resources to keep up. Suppliers can't find the opportunities, or give up because the process is too complicated. The result is less competition, worse deals for taxpayers, and lost revenue for businesses that could have won. Cobrief aggregates public tenders from procurement databases across Scandinavia, Finland, and Germany — including Doffin, TED, Udbud, and Hilma — into a single searchable platform. AI-powered matching scores every opportunity against each company's profile, sending relevant alerts via email, Slack, or Teams. When a team decides to bid, an AI writing module drafts proposal responses from a knowledge base of past submissions. Automated price sheet filling pulls from product catalogs, and CV matching identifies the right personnel. A Bid Manager Agent provides autonomous support throughout the entire process — functioning as an AI colleague from evaluation to submission. Teams collaborate in shared workspaces with task boards, deadline calendars, and role-based access. Used by 1,500+ companies, with a free plan to get started. The founders experienced firsthand how broken the public procurement process is for suppliers. Tender data that should be freely and directly accessible by law is in practice locked behind commercial platforms, creating unnecessary barriers to competition. They saw that businesses — especially SMBs — were missing out on opportunities worth billions simply because the system was too opaque and complex. Cobrief was built to fix that: make public tenders accessible, understandable, and winnable for every business. Beyond the product, the team is actively advocating for open procurement data in Norway through anbudsdata.no, pushing for systemic change so that public tender data is truly open — not just in theory, but in practice.

Kleen Hub is a Copenhagen-based circular tech company building Tap & Reuse™ — a frictionless reuse system that makes reusable packaging work at scale. Our platform combines simple hardware with a lightweight software layer to enable fast, reliable reuse without the usual barriers: no app, no user registration, and no deposit handling required. We help venues and operators (cafés, campuses, stadiums, airports, corporate sites and more) replace single-use packaging with reusable cups and containers through an operationally simple setup. Tap & Reuse™ supports multiple return flows (smart return stations, return bins, handheld scanning and washing-site verification), delivers high return rates in closed and semi-closed environments, and provides clear reporting for operations and ESG. Kleen Hub works with leading partners and distributors across Europe and has deployed systems in high-volume environments, proving that reuse can be convenient for users and manageable for staff. Our mission is to remove friction from reuse and accelerate the transition away from single-use packaging — by making reuse as easy as tapping a card.

Leern udvikler fremtidens interne streaming-platform for at hjælpe ambitiøse virksomheder med at dræbe kedelig træning. Vi løser problemet med uengagerede medarbejdere ved hjælp af et lækkert, streaming-inspireret univers, der gør det lige så vanedannende at lære om virksomhedens strategi, som det er at se sin yndlingsserie. Lad os være ærlige: De fleste traditionelle læringssystemer (LMS) og intranet er digitale kirkegårde, hvor god viden dør. Det er et enormt problem. Når systemerne er tunge og ulogiske, holder medarbejderne op med at bruge dem. Det betyder dårlig onboarding af nye talenter, langsom vidensdeling og en kultur, der går i stå. Det rammer alle – fra den nyansatte, der føler sig overladt til sig selv, til ledelsen, der forgæves forsøger at rulle nye strategier ud. Vi har smidt de kedelige mappelister ud og erstattet dem med en visuel streaming-oplevelse. Leern er bygget til det moderne menneske. Vi gør det muligt for virksomheder at: - Skabe "binge-worthy" læringsrejser (f.eks. pre- og onboarding) på minutter, ikke dage. - Servere viden i korte, skarpe formater – video, lyd og tekst – som medarbejderne faktisk gider klikke på. - Samle alt i en lækker platform, så sælgeren kan lytte til seneste nyt i bilen, og den nyansatte kan se velkomstvideoen på sofaen. Det er corporate learning, der føles som fredag aften på sofaen, ikke mandag morgen på skolebænken. Vi fik nok af, at "work-tech" altid skal være grimmere og dårligere end den teknologi, vi bruger privat. Hvorfor skal det være en kamp at finde information på arbejdet, når det tager to sekunder på TV2 play eller Apple tv derhjemme? Vi startede Leern med en klar mission: At gøre op med kedelig software. Vi lukker kløften mellem arbejde og fritid ved at skabe et værktøj, der sætter brugeroplevelsen først. Vi gør det, fordi vi ved, at når læring bliver tilgængeligt og sjovt, så vokser både mennesker og bundlinjer.
