Want to explore ways we save our oceans from overfishing, climate change, acidification, and pollution? Or perhaps look at how our oceans can save us? The oceans of the world are vast and hold the last unexplored expands of our planet. The long Norwegian coast has shaped our culture and the prosperity of our society and it is the single largest natural resource we have to build our future on.– Such riches demand a strategy which emphasizes high, yet sustainable activity to continue value creation and employment growth. This while simultaneously taking advantage of the knowledge and know-how we as a nation have gained through different industries working in the ocean space. Industries like; oil & gas, shipping, fish-farming, traditional fishing, wind-power, other energy creation and in a longer perspective, even mineral mining on the bottom of the sea and more.  The common challenge all industries working in and with the ocean space share is that they need to develop world leading technology!  - This to continue growth while getting rid of pollution and keep the development sustainable for future generations.Norwegian industry has proven that they can deliver tomorrows solutions and utilize experience transfer from other industries working, both within and outside the ocean space.This is the framework for this X2 Lab´s 4th Program: “Ocean Space”. Are you ready to make a difference?

Documentation of the things that make your organization function – processes, systems, capabilities, strategies – can quickly get spread out across many tools.  Ardoq keeps that information in a single place and makes sure it stays up-to-date through automation and collaboration. We offer a complete SaaS solution using some of the most exciting technology.  Working at numerous companies, big and small, we always had trouble finding historical documentation. It took days to navigate the local system architecture. And even when we found documentation, the lack of standardization made things even harder. To make matters worse, we never really understood the big picture, “how were we affecting other teams, processes, and systems?” we could never know. All this wasted time was costing these companies money and causing employees huge amounts of frustration, especially when new staff arrived. So we decided to stop pulling our hair out and created a lightweight, easy-to-use alternative to the solutions you find in enterprise architecture and documentation software.

AirDodge is a Norwegian company with an HQ in Oslo, Norway. We are building an automated air traffic management system(termed as U-Space software) to enable scalable drone operations. Our target end customers will be drone operators. U-Space solves the problem for all drone operators by making it much easier to obtain permissions. It enables large scale Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations whereof today this is too costly for most companies. It also makes it safer for manned aviation such as emergency helicopters that will have full visibility of ongoing drone flights in the area they are approaching. Other drone operators such as police, search and rescue will be able to quickly deploy drones opposed to wait for helicopters to arrive. They may also mandate quick clearing of drones from any given area in case such operations must take place. Our solution is to build our own software platform and provide flight services according to the EASA framework recently published. These services will be legally required and the 4 primary services are defined by: 1) Drone Identification: This service will be focused on providing information on all the live drone traffic in U-Space to all participants (operators in the air). 2) Live Air Traffic Identification: This service will be focused on providing information on all the live manned air traffic in U-Space. All manned air traffic has to make themselves electronically visible if flying in U-Space. If a manned aircraft flies too close to a drone, then the drone pilot/operator will receive a warning message. 3) Geo-Zones: These are the core geographical definitions of airspaces on map where drone operators can see where they can or cannot fly. Examples of restricted airspaces include airports, military bases, prisons, bird sanctuaries, obstacles etc. Having an extensive dataset which displays all the possible flight restriction/warning zones is significantly important to drone operators as it ensures compliance and more efficient flight planning. 4) Flight Authorization: This gives drone operators the ability to ensure their flight path does not intersect/conflict with any other operators conducting drone flights in the same airspace. The flight authorization will require drone pilots to submit their flight path in 4 dimensions which include 3D trajectory and time. Flight authorization will also allow drone pilots to communicate with Air Traffic control to request a drone flight in restricted airspace. The response times for both types of requests will be instant. AirDodge was originally founded by Umar in 2022 in Sweden. A year later he moved the company to Norway where he met Serhii in 2024 and then they built the company together. Umar, as the founder of Skyqraft—a company specializing in drone-based powerline inspection—gained firsthand experience with the challenges of commercial drone flying while leading its operations. His deep industry knowledge, combined with Serhii’s technological expertise, laid the foundation for AirDodge. Together, they are building innovative solutions to streamline drone operations, making them safer, more efficient, and seamlessly integrated into regulatory frameworks. We are backed by Antler, Nordic Makers and also received grant funding from Innovation Norway.

Anteroz is the story of friends who found a flavour and a secret known by few but worth sharing with the whole world: Mamajuana, a botanical rum-based drink aged on a 500-year-old Dominican tradition hailed as a source of vitality, the cure to whatever tortures and an aphrodisiac. The stories behind Mamajuana and the joy and passion with which the Dominicans serve and enjoy this exotic drink personify the way they take life itself: as if it is not lived to its fullest unless you do what turns you on. To share this message with the world, we set out to create a global brand and spread this message in a bottle. As a company, we believe in bringing something unique to the world in a sustainable way, never forgetting our roots: just the way we learned in the land of the Midnight Sun and the Northern Lights. It is also fundamental to Anteroz to never forget our products’ roots. Crafted in the Dominican Republic, Anteroz is named after Anteros, the Greek God of love and son of Aphrodite, following the legendary Mamajuana property of manifesting amorous desires. We are determined to honour the Mamajuana tradition with an evolutionary drinking experience and are on a mission to live up to the reputation and be a real turn-on for both those who sip and those who pour our unique blend of fiery herbs and luscious honey-infused spirits.

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.
