B’ZEOS develops novel, flexible, and home-compostable films based on seaweed extracts which can replace conventional and bio-based single-use plastic films in food-contact applications. B’ZEOS’ solution will contribute to reduce the use of non- or hardly recyclable plastic materials for single-use food packaging, thus reducing CO2 emissions. We are a team of 8 people with complementary backgrounds. One engineer in environment, two material scientists, one graphic designer, one supply chain analyst, one quality engineer advisor, one PR and marketing advisor and one CFO advisor.   Each of us are concerned by environmental issues and wanted to contribute to make a change.   We have joined this project because we are all fed up with:    - Contamination of world's drinking water with plastic fibres   - Seeing marine animals dying because of our plastic trash   - Increase of plastic packaging around fresh aliments   - Increase in plastic debris along the coast   - Both burning plastic and sending plastic to landfills   - Finding plastic while making with our kids sand castles   - Contamination with the chemicals in plastic. These chemicals are said to cause obesity, on-set puberty, and even cancer.   - Direct contamination of our kids by chewing various objects in plastic.   - Being exposed to plastic every single day and not having the chance to choose an alternative   We, at B’ZEOS and as consumers, believe in a sustainable alternative to current plastic and we have been working on the elaboration of a sustainable alternative without forcing the consumer to change dramatically his habits.

Valma.ai is a versatile AI-powered SaaS platform to help businesses actually become highly productive with Artificial Intelligens. We are a Norwegian startup with global reach, offering both a no-code/low-code solution for non-technical SMBs and a robust API and SDK for developers, enabling businesses of all sizes and technical capabilities to harness the power of AI. Valma.ai is addressing the challenge of AI underutilization in businesses, spanning from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMBs) to large corporations with in-house development teams. This issue affects companies across various industries, particularly in the Scandinavian market, but is rapidly gaining global recognition. For non-technical SMBs, the problem lies in the complexity and inaccessibility of many AI solutions, which often require specialized knowledge to implement and use effectively. These businesses struggle to leverage AI to enhance their productivity and competitiveness due to limited resources and technical expertise. On the other hand, companies with strong technical capabilities face a different challenge. While they have the skills to implement AI solutions, they often lack a flexible, scalable platform that allows them to quickly develop and deploy custom AI-powered applications tailored to their specific needs. Valma.ai recognizes that the need for AI-driven productivity spans across the spectrum of technical capabilities, from marketing agencies needing simple automation to tech companies requiring advanced AI integration. Our platform is designed to bridge this gap, offering solutions for both ends of the technical spectrum. Valma.ai solves these problems by offering a dual-approach platform: For non-technical users and SMBs: A user-friendly, no-code/low-code interface that allows easy creation and management of AI-powered workflows Pre-built AI variants (Chatbot, Agent, and Workflow) that can be easily customized and deployed Simple integration options, including a chat window that can be easily added to websites White-labeling capabilities for brand customization For developers and technically advanced users: A robust API that allows deep integration of Valma.ai's AI capabilities into existing systems and applications An SDK for building custom solutions and extending the platform's functionality Advanced features like custom annotations to override language models for precise outputs Flexible data management, including the ability to edit uploaded/stored data directly in a vector database Common features for all users: - Multiple AI variants that can be combined for complex problem-solving - Integration capabilities with both internal and external tools - Long-term memory for storing and retrieving important information - Collaboration features for team-based workflow creation - Voice-to-text and text-to-voice capabilities - Built-in security features and GDPR compliance This comprehensive solution allows businesses of all sizes and technical capabilities to leverage AI effectively, whether they're looking for out-of-the-box solutions or want to build custom, AI-powered applications. By providing both no-code options and developer tools, Valma.ai ensures that companies can start small and scale their AI usage as their needs and capabilities grow.

Short ------ Wepost makes marketing your superpower. We are developing the greatest platform for marketing. We combine artificial intelligence with design to provide high-quality creatives for scale-up companies. Each creative is tailored every individual social media platform based on the company's strategy and publishing plan. Long ----- Problem: The problem is that the vast majority of companies do not know how to use social media marketing strategically or effectively. This leads to them either; 1) spending too much money on paid advertising to reach their target audience, or 2) not having a clear strategy behind their marketing, resulting in low quality content. In the worst cases, they do both. This leads to low visibility and ultimately loss of customers and revenue. In fact, 14% of startups fail as a result of poor marketing. In addition, those who work in marketing experience that daily content production for social media is a repetitive and boring job. They themselves feel that they are overworked, and social media often fall far down the priority list. Solution: Our solution is to use artificial intelligence (AI) to turn marketing into a company's superpower. We create a platform that helps companies create a strategic marketing plan, and then automatically generates the content using AI. The content is adapted to their brand and segment, which makes the software unique on the market. In addition, the service is priced as a software, where there is a public fixed monthly subscription to the content production, something similar services from agencies do not offer today. The focus on software development also makes the service highly scalable, and with our team it is only a matter of time before it is developed.

We provide the banking network, messaging, settlement, and cash management solutions to meet any bank’s requirements. We are based in Fredrikstad, Norway, where UNITE evolved as a correspondent hub for banks, but our origin is global, developed over years in international banking centers. We have studied other initiatives over the years and learned that the third-party philosophy of trying to bolt-on smart software to multiple bank accounts is less than ideal. A holistic revolution was required to deliver a cross-border payments solution fit for banks in the 21st century.

Aviant performs medical deliveries between hospitals by leveraging drone technology. Today, district hospitals can only analyze simple blood tests themself. The rest have to be transported to test centers, often located at the larger hospitals. Current ground-based transportation logistics between hospitals is unorganized, inefficient, and costly. This new way of transportation will increase the frequency and flexibility of test delivery, as drones can be deployed on an as-needed basis, which will drastically improve the diagnosis process in districts. An analysis posten IEEE showed how drone transportation of biological samples could save the Danish authorities 300 MNOK/year. This commercial potential has been confirmed by our contact with health regions. We currently have three paying contracts: one with St. Olavs Hospital in Trondheim and two in Sweden. Besides our three commercial contracts, we have gotten requests from seven potential customers. To keep up with the demand from the market and take care of our current customers, we need to expand the team.
