Vibro

VIBRO er en plattform for samfunnsengasjert ungdom og unge voksne som ønsker å ha en personlig utvikling og gjøre en meningsfull forskjell. Vi legger særlig vekt på mangfold, sosial entreprenørskap og kreativt lederskap, og jobber for at alle unge mennesker skal utnytte sitt eget potensiale gjennom ulike former for kompetanseheving og prosjektarbeid. Hos oss har den unge generasjonen en reell mulighet til å påvirke sine omgivelser og samfunnet de lever i på en progressiv måte. Alle våre prosjekter planlegges og gjennomføres av ungdom, for ungdom.Vi er et rekrutteringsfirma for internshipordninger i anerkjente bedrifter i Norge. Vi legger her stor vekt på global kompetanse som en kreativ ressurs blant studenter og bedrifter, der vi kvalitetssikrer studenter gjennom ulike screeningprosesser. Formålet er å dra frem konkurransedyktige kandidater med flerkulturell bakgrunn eller som har god kulturforståelse, og øke bevissthet rundt nytten og verdien dette gir til arbeidsplassen. På den måten jobber vi parallelt med behovene til studentene, og markedsverdien til bedriftene.I tillegg har vi et nettbasert magasin som legger vekt på å fremme meningene og erfaringene til unge personer på tvers av kulturelle og geografiske grenser, og setter dermed søkelys på de stemmene som sjeldent blir hørt i medie-Norge. VIBRO er støttet av blant annet Kronprinsparets Fond, IMDI og Reach for Change.TIDLIGERE PROSJEKTERVIBROs første prosjekt var tv-konseptet "Nye forbilder". Serien ble lansert våren 2014, og portretterer mennesker gjennom flere episoder som fungerer som forbilder og rollemodeller for ungdom i Norge.

ABchar

ABchar is developing a new type of pyrolysis reactor, affordable heating and the possibility of small-scale biochar production, adapted to agriculture.. This will help achieve the goal of a 40% reduction in emissions from the agricultural sector. What is pyrolysis? Simply put, this is the heating of an organic material without access to oxygen. This leads to a series of reactions that ultimately result in 3 main products; biochar, oil and gas. We want to utilize the biochar in this process. The oil and gas will be burned and the heat from this will be used to dry grain, heat barns, greenhouses, residential buildings and other things that need heat on a farm. Why pyrolysis and biochar? Plants absorb CO2 from the air around us through photosynthesis. They are actually extremely good at this too. The residual product is mainly oxygen and the plant material. The great thing about pyrolysis is that we are able to separate water, oxygen and hydrogen from the plant material and we are left with more or less pure carbon 80% +. This is carbon from the air! If we take this coal and spread it on our agricultural land, it will be stored there for up to 1000 years and perhaps longer. In some cases, the soil will become more fertile and less vulnerable to periods of too much or too little water.

StudyBuddies

StudyBuddies is developing an AI-powered platform to help students form effective, diverse study groups. We solve the challenge of connecting students who struggle with collaboration or feel isolated, using AI to create personalized group matches and foster success throughout their studies. Research shows that a lack of social and academic connections leads to lower engagement and retention rates. We address student isolation and ineffective teamwork—problems that impact academic performance and overall well-being. These issues are prevalent, with studies showing that up to 40% of students feel disconnected during their education. Our focus is on empowering students with tailored study groups that drive learning outcomes and create lasting networks. StudyBuddies leverages AI algorithms to match students based on study preferences, goals, and academic strengths. Our platform includes tools to track progress, promote accountability, and provide real-time feedback. We ensure that all students, regardless of background, can find a supportive community and thrive academically. The idea for StudyBuddies came from my own experiences as a student. I’ve faced group assignments where I ended up without a group at all and failed, and I’ve seen others struggle and lose motivation because they felt lonely and unsupported. These experiences made it clear to me that there has to be a better way to create effective groups and academic communities. This became the driving force behind starting StudyBuddies.

REspire

The energy transition and sustainability sectors are seeing unprecedented investment, with global climate tech funding set to surpass $5 trillion per year by 2030.

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.

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.
