Introduction to SurplusMap SurplusMap is on a mission to revolutionize the way we develop and optimize EV charging infrastructure. By leveraging advanced geospatial tools and machine learning models, we empower energy companies, local utilities, and charge point operators to make informed decisions about site selection and utilization prediction. This ensures the efficient and effective deployment of charging stations, addressing a critical need in the rapidly growing electric vehicle market. Our secret advantage is our ability to draw on Norway's leadership in EV infrastructure, combined with our collaborations with top-tier partners like Google and Bentley Systems, to deliver cutting-edge solutions. The challenge we face is significant: the current pace of infrastructure development is insufficient to meet the future demands of the booming EV market. The market is highly fragmented, causing inconvenience for EV users and difficulties for energy companies and local utilities trying to optimize their investments. For instance, the EU mandates the installation of 6,000 new charging points per week by 2030, a target that is far from being met with the current rate of deployment. This gap presents a substantial opportunity for innovative solutions like SurplusMap to make a real difference. At SurplusMap, we focus on ensuring our customers invest wisely. Our sophisticated, map-based software integrates geospatial data and machine learning algorithms to pinpoint optimal sites for new charging stations. This means our clients can invest in the right locations, install the ideal number of chargers, and maintain high utilization rates over time. By doing so, we help them maximize their investments and build a robust EV infrastructure network that meets the demands of the future. We are driven by a vision of cleaner, more sustainable cities. Electric vehicles are crucial in reducing air pollution and creating healthier urban environments. However, the key to this transition lies in the efficient deployment of charging infrastructure that provides greater flexibility to the energy grid, allowing for more renewable energy sources to be integrated. At SurplusMap, we are passionate about facilitating this energy transition. By optimizing EV charging infrastructure, we help accelerate the shift to cleaner energy, positively impacting both the environment and the communities we live in. Join us in our mission to create a greener, more sustainable future through innovative technology and strategic planning. Together, we can drive the change needed to make our cities cleaner and our energy systems more resilient.

Fronted helps companies recruit, employ, and pay global talent — fast, compliant, and without the usual hassle. Hiring internationally should open doors, not slow companies down. Yet most organisations face the same challenges when they expand across borders: roles stay open for months, local salary structures become unsustainable, compliance feels risky and unclear, and teams are assembled through a maze of vendors, tools, and handoffs. Recruiters focus on candidates. Employer-of-Record providers focus on compliance. Payroll vendors handle payments. Consultants offer advice. Each piece exists in isolation — and no one owns the full system. That’s because global hiring isn’t just a legal problem or a payroll problem. It’s a systems problem. Fronted was built to solve that. Fronted is the Global Talent OS — a single system companies use to build, employ, and run global teams. We bring together everything required to scale internationally into one clear, connected platform, backed by one partner. Our approach combines: Precision recruitment: We help companies hire the right people in the right markets, with a focus on long-term performance rather than short-term placement. Nordic-grade compliant workforce management: Employment structures designed to meet local regulations, reduce risk, and stay reliable as companies grow across borders. Payroll and benefits: Accurate, compliant payroll and locally appropriate benefits, handled in one system and aligned with each country’s requirements. Ongoing team stability: Support that goes beyond hiring to help teams stay engaged, productive, and sustainable over time. All of this is built with a Nordic mindset: clarity over complexity, trust over control, and responsible scaling over quick fixes. Fronted enables companies to move beyond borders without losing speed, control, or confidence — turning global hiring from a fragmented process into a system that simply works.

We are developing a platform to help owners of renewable power plants and their service providers gaining access to the right information at the right time, enabling the right decisions. In order to achieve this we deconstruct the hundreds of documents describing each plant into snippets of information in accordance with our domain-driven data model. In the next 7 years, the world needs to invest almost twice what has been invested into renewable energy generation in the last 20 years. At the same time subsidies are being rolled back, increasing the need to for ensuring that projected ROI is not compromised by underperformance of the investments (i.e. plants). We have lived the pain, and know that NOW is the time to transform the way commercial management of renewable energy plants is being done.
