The energy transition and sustainability sectors are seeing unprecedented investment, with global climate tech funding set to surpass $5 trillion per year by 2030. Yet, despite this rapid growth, early-stage funding for deep tech and hardware startups remains scarce—creating a gap that venture studios like REspire are uniquely positioned to fill. As a venture studio, we don’t just invest—we build. By combining deep sector expertise, hands-on venture development, and a strong network of industrial and financial partners, we systematically create and scale early-stage companies tackling the energy transition. Since launching in April 2024, we have: • Partnered with Hurricane Innovation, A groundbreaking wave energy startup that aims to be cheaper than offshore wind. • Joined Biopharmia, a next-gen microalgae producer leveraging CO₂ from biogas for sustainable food and feed ingredients. • Launched Småkraftmegleren, a service unlocking liquidity in the small-scale hydropower market. We’re based at RE Gründerhus in Asker, a hub for sustainable innovation, and are now scaling the studio.

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.

We enable the green shift to happen in new markets! TioTech is a Norwegian producer of titania (TiO2) nanomaterials and a developer of titania-based technology. We know how to optimise the production process and properties of titania nanoparticles. After successfully developing and commercialising a series of photocatalytic surface treatment products (www.joma-int.com), we are directing our R&D efforts towards a new area; the use of titania as anode-material in Lithium-ion batteries (LIB). A battery with our material on the anode will charge faster, last longer, be safer and tolerate temperature variation better than conventional batteries which have graphite on the anode, and outcompete LTO-batteries on capacity. The development work takes place in our in-house laboratory in Bergen, where our dedicated team (Hjørdis, Marthe, Rob, Anders) play around with titania, giving life to innovative solutions.

hi, you who read my profile! My name is Marius. I am 23 years old, working with IT and think the IT world is incredibly exciting. I have always liked it and I constantly challenge myself to gain more knowledge. I love the technology behind the Crypto world. I have been doing Crypto Mining since 2017 and now I want to start big since I know the profits are big! I have worked a lot and made many friends with similar interests. I have also received a good contact from whom I buy Asic Miner with good offers! Also has access to a Warehouse of 450 Sqm. I am looking for someone who dares to invest in my business! Someone who believes in my plan even after a great success. Per machine called Asic Miner has a profit of NOK 1843.88 Per day (the price varies from day to day.) This means that you always follow the price that is on CoinMarketcap.com. You are probably wondering, how long it will take to pay down for a machine. Between 5-7 months. Today is 5.3 months. It also varies on the course. Crypto mining is a simple process, but you have to know what you are doing. To start big, and that's exactly why I'm looking for someone who has capital and is ready to invest in me and my workforce! I never give up until I have managed to master it! Hope and find someone out there who will invest in me and who never gives up! I am ready for challenges!

We have now published the first version of the website Devent for Agility. The idea is to have a website where you can find agility-related information in the form of a meeting overview (list or calendar), results, annual overviews, and statistics for dog/organizer/judge (graphs are best viewed on a PC or landline phone). You manage which dogs you want to see statistics for easily on "my page". The system also has modules for setting up and running your own events and supports e.g. 5 size classes if desired. If you want to use the system for your event, you can read more and register here. We are still in an early phase and the system is under constant development. We are grateful for all constructive feedback, whether you experience errors or see things that should be solved in a different way. You will find a link for feedback here.
