The Problem Most workplaces struggle with high sick leave — and the root causes are rarely acute injuries or illness. They are lifestyle-driven issues: • fatigue and low energy • stress and mental strain • poor sleep • musculoskeletal pain • unhealthy habits • lack of support These problems build up over time, and employees try to handle them alone. But people don’t change their health on their own — and employers don’t have the tools or competency to help them. The result? High sick leave costs, reduced productivity, and employees who are stuck in patterns they can’t break. Why it matters Sick leave is one of the biggest hidden costs in business. A single employee on sick leave costs on average 65 200 kr per year — and 20% of employees account for 80% of the total. Most of these cases are preventable with the right support. At the same time, people want help: 85% prefer guidance from a qualified professional rather than trying to solve health challenges alone. ABEL’s Role ABEL solves this gap. We connect employees with qualified health coaches who follow them closely over time — mentally, physically, and socially. Through structured guidance and our digital platform, we help people make sustainable lifestyle changes that reduce sick leave and increase wellbeing. The impact: Employees get better health. Companies save money. Society reduces the burden of preventable illness.

FF Rollerskis AS – Bringing the Real Skiing Feeling to Asphalt FF Rollerskis AS is a Norwegian sports tech company redefining how athletes train off-season by designing and manufacturing world-leading roller skis. Founded by Henrik Lindhagen — skier, inventor, and innovator — our goal is simple: recreate the authentic feeling of skiing on snow, even on asphalt. Traditional roller skis are often stiff, unforgiving, and prone to cause strain or injury due to excessive vibration and poor flexibility. At FF Rollerskis, we’ve reengineered the roller ski from the ground up. Our unique floating fork suspension system and custom-developed rubber compounds drastically reduce vibration while preserving the natural flex and responsiveness of winter skis. The result? Roller skis that feel like the real thing. Our products include the FF V Pro Classic and FF Pro Skate, both equipped with V-groove wheels that enhance directional stability and simulate the resistance of groomed ski tracks. These wheels — along with advanced frame engineering — offer unparalleled ski feel, helping athletes maintain and refine technique throughout the off-season. Our Active series and Junior models make the FF experience accessible for younger athletes and recreational users alike. What sets FF Rollerskis apart: True ski feel on asphalt, with flex and vibration damping unmatched in the market. V-groove wheels that guide the ski naturally, improve control, and make skiing safer — especially for classic technique. Used by top athletes, including members of the Norwegian National Cross-Country Team and elite junior skiers. Only FIS-approved rollerski brand globally. Developed and tested in Norway — under real-world Nordic conditions. We’re committed to environmental responsibility and local production. All development and testing is done in Norway, and our goal is to bring the full manufacturing process home, enabling shorter supply chains, lower emissions, and job creation. Beyond just equipment, FF Rollerskis is building a movement. We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee, provide free lifetime checkups (only pay for parts), and work closely with ambassadors and users to continuously improve our designs. Our customer base spans from beginners seeking safe, stable skis — to elite athletes demanding the highest performance. Whether you’re training for the World Cup, prepping for your first ski marathon, or looking for a smooth ride on summer roads, FF Rollerskis delivers the experience you’ve been missing. It’s not just about equipment — it’s about keeping the skiing spirit alive all year long.

Bueno is a single-source solution platform for property owners initially targeting people who owns property abroad. Bueno makes it easy for people to manage their property by combining financial services with innovative solutions and cost savings. Our initial market is Spain where 2 million foreigners own property. These are underserved by traditional banks and they pay too much for banking. The problems is not unique for Spain, banking in the South of Europe is years behind Scandinavia which means Bueno are addressing a massive market. Q1 2022 we launched in Spain as the first B2C real bank challenger with accounts hosted on the local banking network, Iberpay. This means we have full support for local direct debit payments, required to own and manage a property in Spain. We have a financial partner ready for France and will solve the same problems in France when we launch there in Q3. In Q2 Bueno will launch property insurance in Spain working with one of the big traditional insurance companies but we will also partner with a 100% digital challenger to offer 100% online insurance. We launched Bueno because of our own experience, and our friends experience with Spanish banks. Banking should not be this bad in 2022.

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.

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.
