FiltraCare is developing an innovative cigarette filter collection and recycling system to help cities and local communities tackle the international growing problem of cigarette waste. The mision is to provide an efficient, eco-friendly way to collect, store, and recycle cigarette filters, transforming a harmful pollutant into a valuable resource while reducing environmental damage caused by microplastics. Cigarette filters are the most common form of litter globally, contributing heavily to environmental pollution. They break down into microplastics that harm marine life and biodiversity. FiltraCare aims to address this problem by creating a scalable system that allows cities and businesses to collect and recycle cigarette filters before they are littered in landfills or oceans. The problem is widespread, affecting urban areas, natural environments, and public spaces worldwide, with billions of filters discarded every year. At FiltraCare, I have developed custom cigarette filter collection devices designed for urban environments and public spaces. These ashtrays will in the future collect used filters, which will be stored in airtight containers to prevent contamination. Filters will be sent to our recycling partner, who recycles them. It is the goal for FiltraCare to be able to recycle cigarette filters internally. Currently I am in the process of realising the pilot project in collaboration with local businesses and city authorities that are helping me fine-tune the logistics and scaling potential. By integrating this solution into existing urban infrastructures, we offer a seamless process for reducing cigarette filter waste. The idea for FiltraCare came when I realized how ubiquitous and damaging cigarette filters are to our environment. Walking through city streets, parks, and beaches, I saw the big amount of cigarette waste and understood its long-term impact on ecosystems. This prompted me to dive into research, learning that cigarette filters are composed of non-biodegradable materials that release microplastics into nature. Fueled by a passion for environmental sustainability and innovation, I decided to focus all my energy on creating a solution to this pressing problem, believing that even small changes in waste management can lead to big environmental improvements.

Advancing UXO Detection through Drone Innovation At Dropla Tech ApS, we believe that sensor fusion and AI hold immense potential to transform the detection and removal of unexploded ordnance (UXO). Developing autonomous drone systems that integrate the latest: • Multispectral sensors to rapidly scan the land and precisely locate UXO underground • Machine learning algorithms that fuse data from multiple layers to identify anomalies indicating potential explosive hazards • High-resolution 3D mapping capabilities to generate high-precision georeferenced maps marking UXO hotspots and safe zones to guide safe and efficient removal Latest data cleaning and processing techniques enable our drones to cover territory much faster - making surveys up to 10x more efficient. We realize true impact requires more than technology alone. That's why Dropla researchers: • Collaborate closely with demining groups to ensure our drone solutions meet real-world needs • Contribute data and insights back to the community through open dataset initiatives that advance the broader UXO detection field Our true north will always be the same: to harness technological progress for good by helping rid conflict zones of unexploded threats and giving communities an opportunity to rebuild.

Sustainly is the scalable single-source of truth for non-financial data. We use AI and automations to perform cumbersome data-related tasks across environmental insights (EPDs, LCAs, Carbon footprints), supply chain, documentation and much more. Our goal is to simplify and democratize access to environmental insights, to empower decision makers to make more holistic decisions. Today, performing life-cycle assessments is a highly academic discipline, which acts as a major gatekeeper for properly utilizing data, and getting a proper return of investment. In addition to make it more easy to arrive at the results, we also empower companies to actually utilize the data as a trustworthy, single-source of truth across all business units. This means that the data can create value, directly in R & D, sales, marketing, management and more.

Cavai AS was founded in December 2017 with the goal of revolutionizing online advertising. User experiences have largely been neglected on the web, and Cavai saw early on that chatbot technology, which has initially been used in customer service, could be a wonderfully good advertising product. Usually, chatbot technology is used as customer service on its own website, while Cavai's platform is built to be able to use chatbot technology on millions of websites for contextual advertising. The team today consists of 15 people, and the product has been launched in Norway, Finland, Sweden and the UK with 50 paying customers. Customers are very pleased and report that Cavai's technology is having a very good effect on completed advertising campaigns. Cavai will have its first month of positive operating results in October and looks to have sales of around 3 million in 2019. Next year will be a big growth year, where we have budgeted with a turnover of NOK 41 million. This growth has also been discussed by Finansavisen, where as part of Finansavisen's web-TV series "Vext", Cavai filmed his meeting with advertising legend Sir Marting Sorell in London. For more information, see https://finansavisen.no/vext/tech/2019/10/23/7465643/chatbot-company-cavai-2020-blir-the-store-growst>  To finance further growth, we are now running a seed funding round of NOK 9.5 - 15 million. The company is priced at NOK 60 million pre-money. For more information see the investor summary, investor presentation and subscription form attached.

NAUST Robotics upgrades agriculture with autonomous drones. The main problem we are solving is bird damage on farms, which can easily be 50-70% if the land is close to the water. As current bird scaring techniques are ineffective in the long run, farmers are exposed to damage, losing over 50.000 EUR per 100 Ha (wheat fields). We solve this with an autonomous drone flying over the fields, equipped with speakers. Emitting special sounds that birds recognize as danger, we will push them out of the crops, back to natural areas where they can feed without conflict. A landing platform laying on the field will recharge and shelter the drone, allowing the whole system to operate autonomously. Furthermore, the user will be able to check the real time status and modify the settings from our mobile app! Additionally, in the future we aim to equip special cameras on the bottom of the drone to collect high quality periodical images for crop monitoring practices. This will lead to save time and resources for the farmer, such as tons of chemical pesticides thrown to the field without knowledge. Our vision is to implement affordable autonomous drone solution to automate simple tasks and save time for society.
