How can we connect travelers who can no longer travel freely due to COVID with experienced local guides who have lost their jobs and local artisans who have lost their revenue? Local Purse is the solution that addresses all three problems. Local Purse is a web-based platform which supports artisans and guides through live video cultural shopping experiences to host travelers around the world virtually. By providing an easy-to-use innovative solution to facilitate live video shopping experiences between local guides, small locally owned businesses and travelers, our competitive advantage is that we focus on personalized experiences and foster connection. Our solution provides a very low barrier for entry which reduces inequality.

Our winged shirts combined with accompanying activities help parents who want to nurture children by unlocking their imagination and unveiling their potential. My Wings has created a unique product for the children’s clothing/ dress up market. Each of the wings has a story card and access to accompanying activities that are intended to be playfully utilized by parents (or other primary caretaker) and children to strengthen their bond while at the same time support in the children’s development of qualities such as self-esteem, confidence, communication and courage to name a few, plus introducing concepts around sustainable development. These are qualities that we consider essential for children’s healthy personal development and essential to “soar in life” (aka nurturing their “inner wings”). Our team value opportunities to creat deeper connected experiences between parents and children by engaging in developmental and quality activities. In a sense we are developing an experience to help parents of children between 3-8 years who want to nurture the healthy development of children by reducing damaging negative beliefs and promoting playful positive development.

Where The Atlantic Ocean meets the Northern Sea, and along the coast of Norway, lies an under-used and fairly unknown natural resource. Our forefathers sustained themselves from the ocean for thousands of years, and for them seaweed was a vital source of vitamins and minerals. All of us that started Tekslo were raised by the ocean, and together we share a dream of creating a more sustainable Earth and reverse the trends on food and health – as we introduce seaweed to the world. Our harvesting areas are located in the sea close to Tekslo lighthouse, west of the island Tofterøy on Sotra. With its perfect currents, clean, clear and high-nutrient water, no fish farming or other pollutants, it is an optimal site for finding high quality seaweed! We harvest wild seaweed by hand from reefs, rocks and islets close to the coast. This allows us to only and carefully collect the best quality. We then dry the seaweed in our custom-designed room, which is built inside a traditional boathouse.

Hollbium - Better air, better food, better workplaces Hollbium makes indoor farming a natural part of any living and working environment for sustainable urban development and workplace well-being. We are passionate about the intersection of design, technology, and urban farming. In a strong movement for sustainable development and well-being, it is essential to contribute to sustainable urban development. Most of our population is living in urban areas with limited access to nature and fresh food. We bring micro-farms to where food is consumed and use unused wall space, for example, in your office. The Hollbium Loop combines sustainable food production with hydroponics and healthy biophilic design. Besides growing organic greens without soil, transportation or packaging, it is a multi-sensory experience (taste, light, cleaner air & scent) for increased wellbeing, comfort & creativity while stress is reduced in your team. The Loop offers early access to a new food experience that reduces emissions and waste while ensuring that harvest is unaffected by a shifting climate. We are always looking for the right people rather than the skills - get in touch!

Picterus is an app under development designed to monitor jaundice in newborns. Untreated jaundice in newborns is responsible for more than 100,000 deaths and a substantial number of permanent brain damages each year. More than three quarters of these deaths occur in the poorest regions of the world, in sub-Saharan Africa and south Asia. Cheap treatment is available through e.g. sunlight, but the diagnostic devices in use today cost around 10,000 dollars, making them practically unavailable in low-resource settings.

CurledDesign helps Start-ups and small businesses design and develop physical products that combine sustainability with great design. I'm on a mission to enable companies to innovate more and develop better products with a shorter timeline. Starting with the basics of design thinking and modern design methods, I help companies add more value through their products. My 3 step design process ensures that companies achieve maximum value from the process and add value to their customers. The first phase is an insight phase focusing on getting to know the users, ensuring that the development is based on real-life problems and reducing the number of assumptions the project is based on. The second phase is designing the product and exploring multiple design and concept ideas to ensure the chosen design makes the most significant impact. The third phase is detailing the product for manufacturing, ensuring that IP rights are assured, that it's possible to manufacture the product and that the product is made with sustainability in mind. In the third phase, I help communicate with suppliers to ensure the quality of the final product.
