Sevendof is building the drone infrastructure of the future. We seek to make drones available as a service to help solve problems such as inspection, mapping, and search and rescue. To accomplish this, we're building a network of stations housing long-range drones capable of carrying out missions automatically, without humans in the field. With Sevendof's drone infrastructure, different users will be able to use the same drones to solve different use-cases, which will allow us to improve the availability and reduce operational costs for each user. Our mission is to make drones a safe and positive tool to help solve important problems in a scalable manner.

The world is full of IoT devices. Many of those run on an operating system called embedded Linux. These devices often run very advanced application software to control machines, collect data or even do edge based machine learning. The companies developing those IIoT applications usually have very high competence in terms of software development and building these machines. Operating all the embedded Linux devices that are part of these machines throughout their lifecycle is often not a typical skill set that is present in typical industry 4.0 companies. Here https://qbee.io/ comes to the rescue. We can help to manage, update and maintain large fleets of devices. Or you just want to run a short POC (proof of concept) but the device is behind a firewall. Again qbee helps you with a secure and built-in VPN that allows you to access files remotely, map any application port from the edge device to a local computer or it simply offers you a quick ssh access to debug on the remote device. In many ways qbee replaces a typical system administrator role for our customers. Because even a standard Raspberry Pi is by definition of its software a full fledged server and it needs to be handled and updated with OTA updates in order to stay secure and stable. All this is handled by qbee and we already have many Norwegian and international customers simplifying their projects and increasing IoT security. We are happy to get in touch with you and let you know more about our solution. We also offer a 30 day free trial: https://qbee.io/

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.

Tind Studio is an AI consultancy that helps Nordic businesses turn AI from hype into working solutions, through hands-on advisory, custom implementations, and team enablement. Most companies know AI will reshape their business but don't know where to start. Tools are everywhere, vendors overpromise, and internal teams lack the time and expertise to separate signal from noise. The result: stalled pilots, wasted spend, and missed competitive advantage. We work side-by-side with leadership and operational teams to identify high-value AI use cases, build custom solutions (agents, automations, internal tools, AI-powered workflows), and train teams to actually use them. Pragmatic, fast, and focused on real business outcomes, not demos. The Why Founder Joakim saw too many companies burning budget on AI projects that never shipped or never got adopted. Tind exists to close that gap, turning AI from a boardroom topic into measurable results in the day-to-day work.

EquaFish is a company developing the only complete decision-making tool for fish farm operation. The AquaCulture industry is facing mass mortality and decreased yields as a result of knowledge and data being fragmented througout the farm. One facility usually have 10-15 different systems, Excell sheets and notes where only 10-15% of the functionality is actually used. EquaFish streamlines, process and visualize the data so that every employee, no matter role, understand the plan, status and future of the production. This $140B problem is faced by salmon farmers, telapia, halibut, shellfish and char farmers all alike. The tech is the same, even though the species is not. EquaFish has a SaaS solution bringing all growth, water quality, mortality and feed data into one, exploiting mathematical and statistical data processing to find causes and effects, which the fish farmer can act upon. The result is higher yield with reduced risks in the production, increased effiency, knowledge sharing and learning with the employees. Finally fish produced in more stable environments with less risk of death and non-friendly conditions. EquaFish was startet on the belief that one of the biggest industries deserve the newest and best tools. The time of post-it notes, Excell and systems from the 90s died 15years ago and the AquaCulture industry didnt get the memo. So if you want to create real change for a sustainable, profitable and animal friendly industry, EquaFish is the place that gets that done.

GitHub made it easy for the world to build software together. SomebodyMakeIt does the same for physical products. SomebodyMakeIt is infrastructure for distributed production and licensing. We are rebuilding how physical products get made, and sold. Right now, getting something made means email threads, spreadsheets, a sourcing agent who knows a guy, and a ten thousand unit bet placed a year before anybody knows whether it sells. Software got world class infrastructure for building together two decades ago. Nothing you can hold ever did. So we're building it. A brand, a studio or an inventor publishes what they want made: what, where, and at what royalty. Our AI structures it into a real project in minutes and returns a ranked shortlist of producers matched on capability, capacity and delivery record rather than on who they happen to know. The licence, the brand rules, the approved files, the partners, the work and the money all live in one system, and everybody on the product line is paid from the same sale. What works travels: the same design and the same rules open the next product line, the next market and the next producer, close to the people who buy it. What it is like here. Two founders out of Norway. Tonje came from film and entertainment and has spent ten years building tech companies. Weronika trained as an architect, works as a full stack engineer and was at Spacemaker before Autodesk bought it. We are AI native by default, we ship in days rather than quarters, and everything we build is set up once and made to repeat.
