Nomono is about to change podcasting as we know it with disruptive hardware and software. We’re a Norwegian tech-startup and lucky to be building a global brand where customer satisfaction is a key ingredient. Many challenges exist between recording and publishing. Getting ready and setting up equipment can feel like a time drain. Cables, microphones, and obtrusive stands get in the way of natural conversations. Laborious editing and audio cleanup distract you from being creative with the content. Faced with heaps of hurdles and complexities, even the most experienced creators sacrifice quality when crafting a story. We have created a portable recording studio that offers high quality audio recording and processing, consisting of a compact and easy to use recording kit (microphones, recording unit, charging station) controlled with a mobile app, as well as a web app supplying the ecosystem for processing it (offered as a SaaS solution). Recordings automatically sync to the cloud, and through machine learning you can clean out the sounds, remove background noise etc. A lot of great feedback from users, backing by large investors, and recently receiving the Innovation award in the audio category at SXSW 2023 is a great proof point that we are on the right track! Our main customers are broadcasting houses, agencies, journalists and independent podcasters, and our products are currently mainly shipped to customers in the US. We are a team of 37 (and growing) with expertise across signal processing, acoustics, consumer electronics and media production. Our headquarters is based in Trondheim, and we have a satellite office in Oslo and New York. We build hardware and software that is intuitive, collaborative and easy to use while delivering exceptional audio quality. Our vision is to make voices heard. We imagine a new way of audio production that is intuitive, creative, and collaborative from start to finish. We remove barriers between people and technology, producers and engineers, as well as hosts and guests — connecting the dots between stories and listeners. At Nomono, we are committed to transparency, to all voices being heard and to having fun at work. We try to live our values, and have created different squads to promote this: - Sustainability squad - Privacy squad & compliance board - Diversity & Inclusion squad We believe that boring stuff should be automated, that things can always improve and that a human touch is fundamental to a great customer experience. We’d love for you to join us and help them out, wherever they are and on whatever channel they want to connect. We plan to be the best in class and hope that you share our ambition..

A growing number of natural disasters led to a 2000% increase in climate insurance claims since the 1970s, reaching $630b worldwide in the 2010s. Continued acceleration will lead climate insurance systems to collapse unless prevention is implemented.  Mitigrate is a InsurTech SaaS startup generating fully automated analyses leading to prioritised preventive measures for reducing climate damages on real estate, starting with flooding. Thanks to high-resolution satellite images, our map-based AI models, and optimization algorithms predict how 50+ climate-positive prevention measures can be implemented to reduce risk. Business value stems from reducing risks on individual assets and prioritizing preventive measures within large portfolios of commercial & residential real estate. Since 01/01/23, the EU Taxonomy has made prevention mandatory for insurers throughout Europe. 

Allva is a digital platform that lets people plan events in a stress-free way. Because why is it that in a digital era when we have endless information at our fingertips, it has gotten more time consuming to figure things out? Take people planning a wedding for example. On average they are using 250 hours. 250 hours, doing research, planning and logistics. It leads to stress, frustrations, and strain on their relationships. Sometimes we just want someone who tells us exactly what to do, and Allva does just that for the big events in life. On our event planning platform, we are providing the users with prefilled and personalized content by the use of Artificial Intelligence. We make the actual project for them. The platform guides them through the entire planning process, and shows them relevant articles, tips, and ads along the way. For advertisers, Allva creates completely new opportunities by offering contextual marketing to a pre-segmented target group that is in a buying state of mind. Allva saves time, money, and frustrations. For people planning events, and the advertisers who wants to reach them. And with our existing concept for weddings, over 3000 users have already shown us that people need help planning their events.

00SMART is a Norwegian smart-building technology startup developing a vendor-independent Digital Twin and Automated Fault Detection and Diagnostics (AFDD) platform. Buildings generate large amounts of operational data from HVAC systems, BMS, sensors, controllers and IoT devices, but this data is often fragmented across different suppliers and systems. As a result, technical faults can remain hidden, energy is wasted, and building operators spend significant time troubleshooting manually. 00SMART connects these different data sources, validates and structures the data, and makes it usable for automatic fault detection, dashboards, Digital Twin/3D visualisation and operational decision support. Our goal is to help building owners and facility managers detect problems earlier, reduce energy waste, improve indoor comfort and make building operations more efficient. We are currently strengthening and expanding an existing working platform and preparing for further verification in real buildings.

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.

Getia is a Norwegian venture studio that builds and invests in technology companies. Founded in 2024 and headquartered in Oslo, Getia identifies market opportunities, assembles teams, and actively develops products to capture significant market share across multiple verticals.

I’m building Nuviou — an AI-powered career assistant that helps people figure out what they truly want to do and gives them a clear, personalized plan to get hired. It's like having a personal strategist at a fraction of the cost for a career coach , from self-discovery to job offer. I’ve built this solo so far — MVP’s in alpha, backed by Innovasjon Norge, won a pitch competition, and there’s solid early traction. But it’s time to stop building alone. Most people care deeply about their careers. The real problem? Career reflection is slow, exhausting, and restarts every time. I’m building Nuviou so that you only have to do it once — and then you own it, forever.

Short Description: Mindbuddy is developing an AI-powered mental training app to help young athletes build confidence, focus, and resilience by combining sports psychology with accessible, easy-to-use tools designed for their daily routines. The What: Mental training is often inaccessible to young athletes due to stigma, cost, or limited resources at clubs. This leaves players struggling with performance anxiety, self-doubt, and inconsistent focus - issues that directly impact their performance and well-being. Despite its importance, mental training remains underutilized, especially in grassroots and academy-level sports. With over 50% of players reporting struggles with confidence and performance pressure, this is a problem that affects millions of young athletes worldwide. The How: Mindbuddy bridges the gap between mental training and accessibility by delivering tailored sports psychology tools directly to players’ phones. Using AI, the app helps players set SMART goals, generate visualization tracks, and build mental routines for training and matches. For clubs, Mindbuddy offers a simple platform to track team well-being, measure progress, and provide coaches with actionable insights - allowing mental training to seamlessly integrate into the day-to-day routines of both players and teams. The Why: As a professional footballer for 18 years, including many as captain of Vålerenga, I’ve experienced firsthand the enormous pressure players face. It wasn’t until the latter part of my career, when I discovered the power of mental training, that I realized how much better prepared and focused I could be. That sparked the idea for Mindbuddy. I wanted to create a tool that made mental training accessible to every young athlete, breaking down the barriers of stigma and cost, and ensuring they can unlock their full potential - both on and off the pitch.
