We were founded in February 2018 with the idea that giving plastic a value, we could get it removed from nature. A bit like the bottle deposit system, but for all kinds of plastic! We have gained amazing traction since we started, from being featured in Forbes and The Independent and invited to a panel at the first OECD forum on Blockchain to winning awards and being the only Nordic initiative among the 25 development projects/ SDG solutions selected to be showcased at Expo 2021 Dubai’s Global Best Practice Programme. We have done cleanups and pilots in more than 15 countries, proving that this really does work! Now we are building a global plastic waste ecosystem to incentivize cleanup and track where the plastic ends - most of it ideally back to reuse! The next step is to bring our vision to more places and create a truly innovative system than can help solve some of the big problems with plastic waste (of which there are more than you might imagine).

We in Legelisten.no want to make Norwegian Healthcare more user friendly.  We think good user experience and as much easily accessible and relevant information as possible is important so that everyone can choose the best doctors, dentists and other healthcare professionals for themselves.   You don’t want to just be a name on a list to your healthcare professional, so don’t pick them just based on their name either. A core element of Legelisten.no are actual patients' ratings of the healthcare specialists they have used. You don’t hear how good they are from us, but you get an idea of ​​what actual patients experienced and felt and can judge for yourself.     And since good user experience is based on good communication – your constructive feedback makes it easier for the healthcare professionals to either keep doing what they are doing well, or to try and improve whatever isn’t working out so well. They’ll help you get better and your reviews will help them be better as well.   As we grow Legelisten.no will be working with partners and others to add even more features to make it easier to understand and use the healthcare system in Norway for us as patients, and make it easier for healthcare professionals to understand and meet our needs.   The person caring for your health shouldn’t just be a random name on a list, and nor should you be.

Empire AI is a company founded by workspace consultants with over a decade of experience in developing office buildings. Through our work, we noticed that the office planning process is characterized by gut-feelings, guesswork and outdated benchmarks. This results in suboptimal office space that has massive amounts of unused space - an average of 80-90% of chairs and 50-60% of rooms remain empty during work hours in a typical office building today. Simultaneously, employees are complaining they do not have the necessary rooms and support their work. To address this issue, we created Empire AI. Empire's software is designed to transform the way you plan and manage your office space, making office buildings more space efficient, sustainable, and people-centric. Our machine learning models can predict how your office space will be used, allowing you to make informed decisions before you even begin building. With our software, you'll be able to identify which rooms and areas will be most useful and which will be less so, ensuring optimal utilization of your space. It can be used for building specifications, scenario planning, monitoring and improving existing office space and to predict utilization before building the space. Our recommendations are based on years of research and data, so our customers can be confident that they're making the right choices.

A cloud-based industrial IoT solution for manufacturers of all sizes that boosts productivity with powerful analytics in a pay-as-you-go package - Improving productivity of the factory in terms of man, machine, and time efforts. Optimizing the factory capacity for production by keeping in mind orders, stock of raw materials, and multiple other factors. - Scrap management - you are too late in the process if you realize that a specific order is producing scrap. UpKip's goal is to identify scrap before the order is launched for manufacturing. - Higher asset utilization. CNC machines have monitoring and control software installed on their monitors and controllers, but one person monitoring one machine is too expensive. UpKip allows for one factory worker (machine operator) to monitor multiple machines. The goal is to increase this load to 10 machines per worker. - Compliance, quality assurance, and reporting of all types of manufacturing KPIs to interest groups (customers, partners, sister/mother/group companies, and owners) to the factory. Certain interest groups nowadays are interested in being more vested in the entire process and understanding their supplier processes for example. Making sure there is traceability in the process is important to make sure quality standards are matched. Nearshore and offshore manufacturing facilities are often faced with daily and real-time reporting.

To the average person, it’s an expensive and overwhelming process that involves listmaking, phone calls with real estate agents, taking time off from work, packing, heavy lifting, buying takeaway dinners, cleaning, and so on. Have you ever wondered why there’s no app that could help alleviate the pain points of moving? We have. That’s why we founded Between – Norway’s first moving platform. Between is a digital service that revolutionizes the moving process with technology, innovation and the ability to understand needs. To the average person, it means less stress and more control.

One of which is an online change of address service, a pilot company which has helped us research the moving market for the last two years – with over 50.000 registered customers in Norway and Sweden.
