The problem:The easiest pollution to clean up, is what's on the surface. Lost fishing gear is hidden on the bottom. It doesn't only cause pollution, but also torture and death of enormous amounts of animals. About 10% of the total amount of seafood harvested are wasted to ghost fishing. Hundreds of thousands of crab- and lobster traps are lost every years. In the Florida Keys alone an estimated 100 000 traps are lost every yearCaptured animals starve to death, and become bait for others to follow. Lost traps thus become endless killing machines at a severe societal and environmental cost. Over time traps also start dissolving, releasing microplastics into the ocean, working its way into the food chain and polluting our seafood. The solution:ResqUnit is a device that's mounted on top of a trap or a pot. If the trap is left under water for a longer period of time, ResqUnit activates and floats to the surface. Thus enabling you to retrieve it.We are hoping to raise awareness so that anyone who sees the unique floating device, will either pull up the equipment or report it's location. That way everybody can do their part keeping the oceans cleaner and stop the unnecessary killing of sea life.

AnsuR solves globally applicable challenges related to photo and video communication in mobile radio and satellite networks. Visual data constitutes over 70% of all Internet traffic, and as sensor resolution increases, the need for communication bandwidth increases correspondingly. The AnsuR software system RAIDO can reduce the bandwidth requirements by 99% via unique solutions to the fundamental challenges. Advanced Computer vision solutions with deep learning at being developed. RAIDO is also a Big Data communication solution, suitable for large sensor populations and the Internet of Things (IoT).

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.
