We believe the key to solving the world's two billion waste problem is to motivate people and companies to reduce waste and benefit from the circular economy. We do this by integrating data from all types of digital hardware to understand where waste comes from, and we use this data to reward sustainable behaviour. Our company was born in the waste industry and designed to change it. During the past year, we've launched a new brand, started building an insane team, won the Proptech Award 2021, and gone from 1 to 10 customers. All regulatory winds blow our way and we're ready to conquer the world.

Solstorm Rocket Propulsion makes the next generation of rocket engines using hybrid propulsion technology and 3d-printed fuel cellsAs the market for commercial space industries matures we are seeing smaller and smaller satellites being built and with it, increasing demand for small satellite launchers providing dedicated launchesAs existing engines are mainly developed by government agencies, military providers with non-export policies, and competing launch vehicle providers, most market entrants are forced to develop all their own engine designs from scratch. This is a major bottleneck in the development of smaller launch vehicles, forcing every actor to go through the same R&D process before they can perform their actual business services. By providing a commercially available off-the-shelf rocket engine design for the launch vehicle's upper stage, we want to save these launch companies the initial years of testing and research needed, letting our customers skip the r&d-heavy initial process of engine development and go straight to value-generating satellite launches. Reducing the time from inception to launch by several years, we relieve rocket launcher companies of the insecurity and stress related to the development of rocket engines and let them go straight to launch, bringing more cargo to orbit.

Med-Storm's Skin Conductance Algesimeter (SCA) uses the principle of skin conductance to measure pain, allowing us to titrate the right amount of pain medication for each, individual patient. This award-winning technology is not affected by changes in blood circulation, heart rate, hypotensia, environmental temperatures, and hypoxia, and shows low variation between individuals at the same level of pain. The pain monitor can be used on patients as young as 23 weeks of gestational age, as well as geriatric patients. MS is currently working on a miniaturized and wireless version of the SCA.

Disruptive Engineering enables more effective planning, management, and monitoring of road networks. Proprietary sensor hardware 'made in Norway'Use AI and neural networks for detailed classification of vehicles. Privacy-by-design solution ensuring that no personal data is stored or shared. With traffic expected to grow by 60% by 2050, and with congestion and safety already being an issue, there is a pressing need to utilize road networks more efficiently. Both Statens Vegvesen and Nye Veier see our first sensor VS1, and the valuable data it provides, as a potential solution to achieve this as well as an opportunity to digitalize roads and infrastructure for the forthcoming Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) that are being implemented across Europe.Statens Vegvesen linkNye Veier link

Bransjeekspert Yngvar Andreassen hadde tilbake i 2017 en teori om at man ved å digitalisere gjestereisen på restaurant kunne øke omsetningen med 20 %, og redusere kostnadene tilsvarende. Dette var som musikk i ørene på Jørn Bertelsen som oppnådde denne type resultater i et pilotprosjekt på Lekter´n på Aker Brygge våren 2018 – og som har analysert tall i bransjen i over 20 år. Det er en etablert sannhet at det er irriterende for gjester å vente på å bestille, betale og påkalle oppmerksomheten til servitørene. Payrest er en løsning for dette. Det som ikke like kjent at mange restauranter sliter med et høyt kostnadsnivå, og noe av grunnen til dette er at personalet bruker opptil 30% av arbeidstiden sin på å betjene systemer. Vi løser dette gjennom Payrest ved at gjestene selv registrerer bestillingen og betalingen på sin egen mobiltelefon. Dette gir deg som restaurantdriver muligheten til å bruke mer tid på servering og service! Payrest skal levere fremtidens løsning for servicebransjen – og har fokus på å levere en bedre gjesteopplevelse. Sammen med innovasjonsselskapet Norsentio driver Yngvar og Jørn, Payrest Norge. Løsningen er klar til å gi solhungrige og corona-leie nordmenn en trygg og effektiv restaurantopplevelse sommeren 2021! Gjennom 2018 og 2019 ble det investert 10 millioner i løsningen, og brukerne er så langt godt fornøyde med det som er levert – men vi gir oss ikke med det. Selskapet backes også av Innovasjon Norge og Skattefunnordningen.
