ProTag is building a Digital Product Passport platform that helps manufacturers and product owners manage and share product data across their supply chains. We solve the growing challenge of fragmented, unstructured information by combining a network-driven SaaS platform with AI that turns messy supplier data into structured, usable product intelligence. Across industries, a new reality is emerging: products are no longer just physical objects, they are data assets. To sell, operate, and scale, companies need reliable information about what goes into their products, where it comes from, and how it evolves over time. The problem is that this data does not exist in one place. It is scattered across suppliers, stored in PDFs, buried in emails, or locked inside disconnected systems. Most companies today are trying to manage this with spreadsheets and manual processes. That might work internally, but it breaks down completely across a supply chain. This creates a structural problem: • Companies depend on data they do not own • Suppliers struggle to provide consistent information • Teams spend significant time chasing, cleaning, and validating data At the same time, external pressure is increasing. Customers, partners, and regulators are all asking for more transparency. What used to be “nice to have” is quickly becoming required to do business. The result is a growing gap between what companies need to know about their products and what they can actually access and trust. ProTag gives companies a way to build a live, structured view of their products across the entire supply chain. Instead of trying to centralize everything manually, we connect the different actors and let data flow where it is created. Companies use ProTag to: • Organize product data in a consistent structure • Request and receive information directly from suppliers • Keep everything updated as products evolve • Share product data with customers and partners when needed AI plays a critical role in making this scalable. We use AI to: • Turn unstructured documents into structured product data • Identify gaps, inconsistencies, and risks in real time • Reduce the effort required to onboard suppliers and maintain data quality What makes ProTag different is how it scales. We are not just building a tool for a single company. We are building a network. When one manufacturer joins ProTag, their suppliers are invited in. When those suppliers join, they can reuse their data across multiple customers. Over time, this creates a shared data layer where: • Information becomes easier to access • Data quality improves naturally • Switching costs increase for everyone involved We do not replace existing systems. We sit on top of them and connect them. This makes adoption fast and reduces friction from day one. We started ProTag because we experienced this problem firsthand. Working in industries with complex products, we saw how much time was spent chasing information that should have been readily available. Engineers, quality teams, and commercial teams were all dealing with the same issue from different angles, but there was no real solution. At the same time, the direction of the market became clear. Transparency around products is increasing, not decreasing. The amount of data required is growing fast. Most companies are not prepared for this shift. We realized this is not just a workflow problem, it is an infrastructure problem. The way product data is managed today does not match how supply chains actually work. That is why we are building ProTag. Our ambition is simple: to become the default way companies manage and share product data across supply chains. Once that layer exists, it unlocks everything else.

In recent years we have witnessed intense tropical storms, costing thousands of lives, as well as massive destructions. The total estimated cost for damage caused by hurricanes in 2017, is calculated at $250 billion. Also in 2018, we have seen hurricanes causing catastrophic damage and human tragedies. Tropical hurricanes are generated when masses of cold and warm air collide. And the sea surface temperature is above 26.5°C. We are doing research and development to cool the sea surface temperature by exploiting colder water deeper down in the sea. This will help us cope with climate change. The companyOceanTherm AS was founded in 2017 and is engaged in the research and development of methods and technologies preventing tropical storms from becoming devastating. OceanTerm AS also delivers maritime counseling. The challenge Many people have tried to find ways of preventing hurricanes before they make landfall, resulting in the loss of human lives. In recent years we have witnessed intense tropical storms, costing thousands of lives, as well as massive destructions. For example: in 2005, hurricane Katrina killed more than 1,800 people and caused damage of $ 90 billion. In 2016, hurricane Matthew swept across Haiti, taking 852 lives and destroying many towns on the island. The total estimated cost for damage caused by hurricanes in 2017, is calculated at $250 billion. Tropical hurricanes are generated when masses of cold and warm air collide. Another essential factor is that the sea surface temperature is above 26.5°C. Climate change is causing sea surface temperatures to increase. In the case of hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria that occurred between August and September 2017, sea surface temperatures were measured as high as 32°C. The big questionIs it possible to cool the sea surface to below 26.5°C by exploiting colder water from deeper in the water column? The answer is yes, we have the methods and the technology.CooperationOceanTherm AS is located in Horten (Norway) and collaborates with SINTEF Ocean AS in Trondheim and SILICIA in Horten.FundingInnovation Norway and the Research Council of Norway are supporting the research program.

Proptly was founded in 2021 by Kristoffer Gjerde, Gunnar Windsand Sem, and Thomas Kristiansen, with a bold vision to transform the often-overlooked, yet critical, part of the climate tech ecosystem: installations. What started as a casual conversation over Christmas drinks about the headaches of managing contractors, quickly turned into a mission to streamline the installation process for climate tech solutions across Europe. We recognized that while there’s no shortage of companies innovating in the climate tech space—producing world-class EV chargers, heat pumps, and solar panels—the bottleneck often lies in getting these technologies deployed quickly and efficiently. That’s where Proptly comes in. We’ve built a B2B marketplace that connects climate tech companies with a network of skilled, vetted installers, making sure that cutting-edge green technologies reach consumers without the typical delays and frustrations. Think of it like Uber for installations: companies get real-time data on installer performance, response times, and customer satisfaction, allowing them to scale their operations with ease. Revolutionizing the Installation Process Our platform tackles a glaring inefficiency in the market—the installation bottleneck—by ensuring that the best installers, backed by proven performance metrics, are always available to deploy climate tech solutions. For climate tech companies, we’re solving a massive headache: ensuring their innovations get installed, not just built. For contractors, we’re providing consistent job opportunities, helping them grow their businesses in a fast-expanding green economy. With $4 million in seed funding, high-profile partnerships including Easee, Sungrow, and Coop, and a stellar team of industry veterans from companies like Kahoot, Oda, McKinsey, EY, Tesla, and Easee, we’re setting the standard for how climate tech installations should be done. Our Vision Proptly aims to become the leading B2B marketplace for order-to-installation processes across Europe and beyond. With climate tech adoption on the rise, we aim to play a crucial role in accelerating the deployment of these technologies, helping the world transition to a greener future more efficiently. We’re not just about getting the job done; we’re about getting it done right—with transparency, speed, and customer satisfaction at the heart of everything we do.
