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.

Versiro develops software that accelerates the energy transition. Renewable electricity is great for the environment but difficult to plan because its production depends on uncertain weather conditions. Versiro develops an AI copilot that helps renewable producers make smart decisions in real time while considering these uncertainties. This assists the integration of renewable energy and increases its profitability, two key factors to enable the green energy transition. Versiro was founded by researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) and follows the observation that, in electric power systems, the traditional pipelines from research to industry are too outdated to keep up with the fast-paced world of machine learning.

ONNA is on a mission to build a more resilient and transparent food system. Our vertical farms and controlled environment technology will reduce the environmental burden and negative externalities of food production. In parallel, we seek to increase Nordic food independence in the face of climate change - and disrupt global food production. Put shortly, vertical farming is an extremely efficient cultivation technology for lettuces and herbs. By growing plants inside, in a fully controlled environment, you can optimize for the ideal combination of climate, lights, nutrition and water. Without using pesticides or other pesky chemicals. Our farms are stacked vertically, ensuring a much greater yield per area and the opportunity to produce food closer to urban centers. As a result, ONNA facilitates the consumption of locally produced, nutritious vegetables while simultaneously reducing food waste through the supply chain. How do we measure success? When we’ve made healthy produce accessible to all. The only way is up! ONNA’s commandments 1. ONNA is a company for the future 2. We are ambassadors for change 3. Rebellious acts inspire us 4. We work TOGETHER 5. Our products are extremely local – and that is our strength 6. We help people make educated choices 7. We believe, to the very core of our being, in a more sustainable tomorrow
