Learnlink ble startet i 2016 og tok i løpet av kort tid posisjonen som landets ledende leverandør av online én-til-én-undervisning. I 2020 ble tilbudet utvidet med sommerkurs i koding etter sammenslåingen med CodeAndGo . I dag jobber vi med å ruste barn for fremtiden ved å lære de STEM-fag på en morsom og givende måte. Dette gjør vi både 1-til-1 og i grupper, både fysisk og online. Med på laget har vi det vi “Pros” - toppstudenter barna ser opp til som bidrar til å tenne lærelysten. Alle i Learnlinks kjerneteam har høye ambisjoner for veien videre og brenner for å hjelpe barn med å lære det de trenger for fremtiden. I tillegg til de faste ansatte bistår et knippe dyktige rådgivere og et erfarent styre med retning og strategi. Nå som vi ser at Learnlink-modellen virkelig har potensiale, er planen å øke veksttakten ytterligere i Norge og ta den videre i utlandet. ENGLISH Learnlink was founded in 2016 and quickly took the position as the country's leading provider of online one-on-one teaching. In 2020, the offer was expanded with a summer course in coding after the merge with CodeAndGo. Today we work to prepare children for the future by teaching them "STEM" subjects in a fun and motivating way. We do this both 1-to-1 and in groups, both physically and online. Everyone in Learnlink's core team has high ambitions and is passionate about helping children learn what they need for the future. Additionally, a number of skilled advisers and highly experienced board members assist with developing guidelines and strategy. Now that we see that the Learnlink models really has potential, the plan is to increase the growth rate even further in Norway and take it abroad. In other words, there are very exiting times ahead!

Smart retailers have strong webshops and lots of tools and data to drive traffic and conversion. But most of their business is still conducted through their physical locations. Using our tools, the physical shops are able to communicate and adjust their customer experience to the individual. Using the existing payment cards and terminals, we recognize the customer and capture all relevant data as is the norm online. This unique information is used to design a better shopping experience in the physical space. Our customers are the well-known retail brands you know from shopping malls across Northern Europe and the malls themselves. Norway and the Nordics already lead the world in electronic payments and the use of mobile and SMS to enhance sales. Now, we are pushing this further by combining access to the existing infrastructure surrounding shopping and a digital mindset to build closer relationships between retailers, shopping venues and their customers. One example of a customer using our on-site technologies to build loyalty and traffic can be seen here: https://youtu.be/c0qcv7CtIZE

SOMESimplify is an AI social media tool for restaurants, cafés and bars. The owner takes a photo or a video on their phone, the app writes the caption in the venue's own voice, and the owner says yes before anything goes out. Posts are published to Instagram, Facebook and Google Business Profile, and video goes out as an Instagram Reel. Reviews from Google and Facebook, comments and messages land in one inbox with a reply already written. On the Pro plan, a guest who writes in German or Spanish gets a reply in their own language, and the owner reads a translation. "Plan the week" suggests drafts for the open days in the calendar. The problem: owners of small venues spend their evenings writing captions and replies instead of being with their guests. Agencies are too expensive, and generic tools are not made for hospitality. SOMESimplify keeps the venue's own photos and voice, and does the writing. Built for single venues, chains and marketing agencies with hospitality clients. Made in Kristiansand, Norway. Try it free for 14 days, no card.

Archi Systems builds Archi Automate, the AI automation layer for architecture, engineering and construction. It connects Claude, GPT/Codex, Gemini or any MCP-capable AI assistant directly to the tools architects and engineers already use: Revit, Archicad, Rhino and Grasshopper, AutoCAD, SketchUp, Blender, QGIS, Tekla, Vectorworks, IFC/openBIM, Autodesk Forma and Autodesk Construction Cloud. The assistant reads live models, queries elements and parameters, and makes governed changes under a configurable execution mode (read-only, preview, or allow-changes) with every write audited. It validates IFC models against IDS specifications, runs clash detection, quantity take-off and embodied-carbon estimates, and can move entire projects between Autodesk hubs and regions, something Autodesk itself offers no service for. Since version 27.26, Archi Automate also renders AI imagery directly from a model view: a photographic or conceptual visualisation using the practice's own OpenAI, Black Forest Labs, fal.ai or Google account, with masks, multi-turn editing, print upscaling and a full provenance record (model, prompt, seed, cost) for every image. API keys are stored encrypted on the user's machine and are never shown to the AI assistant. One signed Windows installer connects every host application through a single desktop Hub. Architects get an AI assistant grounded in their real project data, not descriptions of it. Founded and built in Oslo, Norway.

ProTag is building a Digital Product Passport platform that helps manufacturers and product owners manage and share product data across their supply chains. We solve the growing challenge of fragmented, unstructured information by combining a network-driven SaaS platform with AI that turns messy supplier data into structured, usable product intelligence. Across industries, a new reality is emerging: products are no longer just physical objects, they are data assets. To sell, operate, and scale, companies need reliable information about what goes into their products, where it comes from, and how it evolves over time. The problem is that this data does not exist in one place. It is scattered across suppliers, stored in PDFs, buried in emails, or locked inside disconnected systems. Most companies today are trying to manage this with spreadsheets and manual processes. That might work internally, but it breaks down completely across a supply chain. This creates a structural problem: • Companies depend on data they do not own • Suppliers struggle to provide consistent information • Teams spend significant time chasing, cleaning, and validating data At the same time, external pressure is increasing. Customers, partners, and regulators are all asking for more transparency. What used to be “nice to have” is quickly becoming required to do business. The result is a growing gap between what companies need to know about their products and what they can actually access and trust. ProTag gives companies a way to build a live, structured view of their products across the entire supply chain. Instead of trying to centralize everything manually, we connect the different actors and let data flow where it is created. Companies use ProTag to: • Organize product data in a consistent structure • Request and receive information directly from suppliers • Keep everything updated as products evolve • Share product data with customers and partners when needed AI plays a critical role in making this scalable. We use AI to: • Turn unstructured documents into structured product data • Identify gaps, inconsistencies, and risks in real time • Reduce the effort required to onboard suppliers and maintain data quality What makes ProTag different is how it scales. We are not just building a tool for a single company. We are building a network. When one manufacturer joins ProTag, their suppliers are invited in. When those suppliers join, they can reuse their data across multiple customers. Over time, this creates a shared data layer where: • Information becomes easier to access • Data quality improves naturally • Switching costs increase for everyone involved We do not replace existing systems. We sit on top of them and connect them. This makes adoption fast and reduces friction from day one. We started ProTag because we experienced this problem firsthand. Working in industries with complex products, we saw how much time was spent chasing information that should have been readily available. Engineers, quality teams, and commercial teams were all dealing with the same issue from different angles, but there was no real solution. At the same time, the direction of the market became clear. Transparency around products is increasing, not decreasing. The amount of data required is growing fast. Most companies are not prepared for this shift. We realized this is not just a workflow problem, it is an infrastructure problem. The way product data is managed today does not match how supply chains actually work. That is why we are building ProTag. Our ambition is simple: to become the default way companies manage and share product data across supply chains. Once that layer exists, it unlocks everything else.

1. CryptoSuvereign Norge AS is developing a regulated digital investment platform that makes it easier for people and small businesses to access the crypto market safely. We simplify exposure to digital assets through one transparent, Norwegian-based solution that combines technology, trust, and compliance. Our approach is based on proprietary mechanisms for value stability and portfolio management, details are confidential and shared only under NDA. 2. The crypto market is growing fast, but most people find it too complex, risky, and unregulated to invest in. Today, over 90 % of private investors who enter the crypto market either lose money or never diversify beyond one or two coins. Small businesses and startups also struggle to gain secure, compliant exposure to the sector. We are addressing this gap by building a bridge between traditional finance and the blockchain economy, giving users a safe, regulated entry point into digital assets. 3. The technical framework and operating model behind our solution are proprietary and can only be shared under a signed confidentiality agreement (NDA). The idea started with frustration seeing how ordinary people wanted to invest in crypto, but were pushed away by technical barriers, high volatility, and lack of trust. Our motivation is to create something that gives everyone a fair, transparent, and professional way to invest in this new economy without needing to be an expert or take unnecessary risk. We believe Norway and Europe need their own secure framework for digital asset management, and we want to be the ones who build it first. Because the concept combines regulated finance with blockchain innovation, we require all external collaborators to sign an NDA before receiving detailed project information.

Kvikk is a B2C Insurtech company disrupting the travel insurance sector through our mobile platform. Designed with millennials, Gen Z and their expectations in mind, our vision is clear: 
Revolutionizing the way we protect ourselves while exploring the world. We are leveraging GEO-fencing technology to distribute, personalize and offer quotes tailored to your location in real-time. No more hassle with paperwork or waiting in line. We are 100% digital and are providing a full insurance experience in the pockets of everyone leaving their homes. In Norway 50% of all young adults don't have travel insurance, and they perceive insurance as complicated, expensive and unavailable. At the same time, the insurance industry lacks digitisation with only 40% of all insurance sales taking place on a digital platform. We have developed travel insurance tailored to the specific needs of each traveller, all within a convenient and user-friendly app. By harnessing the power of GEO-fencing we ensure travellers receive seamless coverage when and where they need it, offering a level of flexibility unseen in the industry. We have built the insurance product, and we are going to build the app. Simen started working on Kvikk while studying Innovation & Management, and has previously been travelling around the world several times and do understand the importance of travel insurance. We honestly believe that insurance companies should do better. In this digital world, insurance should be more available for the customer. There should be possible to buy insurance, get an overview and file claims within minutes, and always available in your own pocket. We also believe in fair and transparent products, where the customer actually gets a personalised products tailored to their own travel pattern. We want to rewrite the rules of insurance by making it available, fair, easy and personalised.

Empire AI is a company founded by workspace consultants with over a decade of experience in developing office buildings. Through our work, we noticed that the office planning process is characterized by gut-feelings, guesswork and outdated benchmarks. This results in suboptimal office space that has massive amounts of unused space - an average of 80-90% of chairs and 50-60% of rooms remain empty during work hours in a typical office building today. Simultaneously, employees are complaining they do not have the necessary rooms and support their work. To address this issue, we created Empire AI. Empire's software is designed to transform the way you plan and manage your office space, making office buildings more space efficient, sustainable, and people-centric. Our machine learning models can predict how your office space will be used, allowing you to make informed decisions before you even begin building. With our software, you'll be able to identify which rooms and areas will be most useful and which will be less so, ensuring optimal utilization of your space. It can be used for building specifications, scenario planning, monitoring and improving existing office space and to predict utilization before building the space. Our recommendations are based on years of research and data, so our customers can be confident that they're making the right choices.
