Boligmarkedet – både i Norge og de fleste internasjonale storbyer – er moden for disrupsjon. I flere tiår har boligprisene utviklet seg i et langt raskere tempo enn lønnsveksten, og som et resultat av dette ender stadig flere opp utenfor markedet. Dette er en uønsket utvikling ettersom en høy andel boligeierskap har flere samfunnsmessige gevinster. En av årsakene til denne utviklingen er at det de siste 100 årene ikke har vært vesentlige endringer i måten vi bygger og bor på. I Co-Own har vi en ambisjon om å gjøre boligmarkedet tilgjengelig for alle, og samtidig hjelpe unge mennesker å bygge meningsfulle fellesskap. Dette gjør vi ved å hjelpe mennesker med å finne andre som de kan kjøpe seg inn i kollektiver sammen med. Vi bistår i hele prosessen med å etablere nødvendige avtaler, skaffe finansiering, tilrettelegge for et godt bo-forhold, og til slutt gjøre det enkelt å finne kjøper til egen andel når man er klar for å reise videre. På denne måten kan mennesker nyte de sosiale fordelene av å bo i et kollektiv - og samtidig ta del av de økonomiske fordelene av å være del av boligmarkedet.

Parallelo er et teknologiselskap som hjelper arkitekter og utbyggere å designe bedre boliger – raskere. Boligbransjen er blant de minst digitaliserte næringene i verden. Hvert bygg tegnes fra grunnen av, og avgjørende beslutninger om leilighetsmiks, markedspotensial og bærekraft tas ofte uten reelle data. Parallelo endrer dette. Gjennom avanserte algoritmer genererer og optimaliserer Parallelo komplette leilighetsplaner på sekunder. Plattformen lar arkitekter og utviklere jobbe tettere sammen, utforske flere alternativer - og har dokumentert å gi prosjekter bedre arealutnyttelse, lavere CO₂-avtrykk og typisk 10 - 15 % høyere prosjektverdi. Vi jobber tett sammen med Coera, Nordens raskest voksende arkitektkontor, for å utvikle og teste løsninger i reelle prosjekter. Som utvikler i Parallelo får du jobbe side om side med arkitekter, designere og planleggere – med kort vei fra kode til faktisk verdi. I Parallelo tror vi på More Room to Play – en kultur med frihet, tillit og høyt tempo. Du får frihet til å utforske nye ideer, jobbe fra hvor du vil, og være med på å forme hvordan fremtidens boliger og byer blir til.

Greenphones provides an end to end solution for to extend the lifetime of mobile phones and tablets. Through the provision of a simple user friendly interface allowing private individuals to trade-in their used phones where the value can either be used for the purchase of an upgraded phone or paid out in cash.

As such for each and every new mobile 'not sold' sold in the market, we reduce the CO2 footprint by approximately 55kg. We estimate that we can extend the lifetime of any mobile between 250% and 300% Inspiration for your startup description There are other firms selling used mobile/tablets, but very few that offer the level of service trade-in value. The founders who previously worked with used IT equipment saw that the used mobile market was also in need of a solution. Greenphones has a number of strategies to expand beyond the core business to enhance the circular economy and is constantly in search of ways to support climate initiatives.

Grentech Innovators AS is dedicated to: Give Waste a value. We are developing new waste management solution by using biotechnology for convertion of organic waste like food waste, into protein and organic fertilizer. The traditional waste management solutions like landfill, composting, biogas production or incineration are all leading to green house gas emission and the economic value of the end product is low or negative. The greenhouse gas Methane is a 72 times more potent greenhouse gas than carbondioxide, and organic waste on landfills are responsible for 11 % of Methane emission. The global aquaculture industry is a great source for healthy food and has been in strong annual growth for decades, but in order to continue growing it is crucial to find new sources for feed,in particular protein and omega-3 oils. The supply of traditional feed sources like fish meal and soy are limited, and there are environmental conserns to increase soy production. In Greentech Innovators we are now investing in a pilot plant for fermentation of food waste into Single cell protein and organic fertilizer in Bergen. We have a dedicated team, and the second largest waste management company in Norway,BIR ,as partner. We are now searching for investors to finalize the pilot palnt and scale up the production. If you are looking for investment in a company that strive to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase production of food for the growing population Greentech Innovators is a good choice.

The short story: We're a Norwegian contech startup and we're prefabricating rebar cages with robotics. The long story: Rebartek was founded in 03/2018. In our first year, we have grown our team to 10 members with a wide range of backgrounds from different industries. We are developing a ground-breaking solution for the construction industry. Our robots manufacture steel reinforcement cages that are used in concrete structures. We are developing a highly automated service that starts at the design of the cages and ends with the delivery of the cages to the construction site. Today almost all rebar welding and tying is done manually by humans. This is dangerous, time-consuming and physically brutal work. We want to provide an optimized solution for manufacturing rebar, with an added bonus of tailored models and a streamlined administrative workflow.  Our philosophy is to take a lot of small steps quickly. We embrace failures and learn from them. We like being daring, trying new things and look for opportunities rather than focusing on limitations.  We're hiring! Rebartek needs daring, smart people. We're especially looking for a new CTO, so do not hesitate to contact us.
