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.

Emberly is a Stavanger-based startup founded in 2020. The company was born out of a desire to help people learn better and to help them manage information overload. Our product is a knowledge library, but in contrast to other solutions, we help you organize your knowledge into what we call "knowledge maps". Traditional solutions based on tags and search are not adequate due to the simple fact that it requires using the language center of the brain, this requires you to break your chain of thought before you can even start looking for your resources. Emberly in contrast, lets you use spatial navigation to find what you are looking for. Which is far more efficient.Not to mention the fact that by creating and using this breakdown of topics, you automatically gain a far better understanding of the concepts you are working on. We have been working tightly knit with our community for two years to help us make Emberly the best experience it can be, and we officially released the system in 2022.

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). RAIDO is certified for use in mobile satellite systems, where the challenges are particularly challenging, but everyone has also experienced bad mobile cell phone coverage. AnsuR makes critical information available to remote users. In drones and autonomous aerial vehicles and surface vessels, the ability to communicate camera content independently of the terrestrial infrastructure is key. RAIDO can also solve problems with large emails and documents due to images and graphics and provide Super-light Interactive Documents, showing the ability to transform how we communicate visual data. AnsuR has based its first years since the start of operations in 2006 on research and innovation, has currently sold the key products to representative customers for list price, and is ready to ramp up activities, marketing, and sales efforts. Both technology and market are proven. AnsuR has about 15 employees in hi-tech software engineering, located in Oslo and Barcelona. The company is currently self-funded and has not yet taken any investments. The shareholders are basically the founders and the employees.

VENTURE FACTORYVenture Factory was founded in the fall of 2012 in Oslo, Norway with a straightforward goal: turning ideas into business. Our core competence is e-commerce, technology, and performance marketing. We use our skills to start new companies together with strategic partners, other entrepreneurs, or within our own organization. Since then we’ve involved ourselves in a range of ideas.

Can engineering simulations be fun? And blazing fast? We think so: take ASHES for a spin, and you'll be up to speed in < 5 min*. We love to hear your feedback. We are developing ASHES - AeroServoHydroElasticSimulation. ASHES is a design and analysis software for onshore and offshore wind turbines or aeroelastic analysis for short. We hold the following to be true: 1. User experience (UX) is as important as getting the numbers right. Even for engineers. 2. Cloud computing will make aeroelastic simulation 100X (or so) faster and cheaper at the same time. It also offers virtually unlimited flexibility as any engineer has thousands of machines at her disposal. We are interested in presenting and discussing our software with prospective industrial and academic partners. *Not included the time it takes to read the license agreement.

DoMore Diagnostics is on a mission to transform cancer diagnostics with artificial intelligence to improve patient care and make drug development more effective. We use state-of-the-art methods to improve patients’ quality of life and help clinicians make more informed decisions. Our technology is based on pioneering research on utilizing artificial intelligence to increase the prognostic value from routine clinical pathology cancer tissue samples. The extensive research conducted at top universities (University in Oslo, Oxford University and University College of London) has been published in leading and high impact scientific journals such as The Lancet and Nature Reviews Cancer. These new methods have resulted in fully automated histotyping that provide objective and precise prognostic information that correlate and out-perform existing markers. This novel histotyping can guide selection of therapy to avoid over- and undertreatment. It can also make cancer drug development more effective by ensuring more precise diagnosis and prognosis, which is the fundament for precision medicine. Artificial intelligence is set for a breakthrough in medicine and several megatrends are pushing for new solutions in cancer diagnostics. Digital pathology and new AI algorithms will play a significant role in the future of medicine and hold multiple commercial opportunities. DoMore Diagnostics is at the forefront of the field and will bring these next generation products to the clinic.

We produce new unique generation of bread without any use of grains. We have developed a unique technology to process flaxseeds (new superfood) in a way that we can produce a healthy bread out of them without the use of any allergens. This bread is naturally GLUTEN FREE, HIGH IN FIBER, LOWCARB, HIGH IN OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS AND A GOOD SOURCE OF HIGH-QUALITY PROTEIN. Our bread is suitable for everyone with FOOD ALLERGIES: specifically also gluten, milk, soy, nuts and eggs. Furthermore our bread is suitable for people with such medical conditions or predispositions as: Diabetes, Cancer, Cardiovascular and Digestive diseases. Our bread is also very energy-dense and does not affect blood sugar levels - this means that by eating our bread, one will stay satited and energized much longer as opposed to standard bread. This is mainly due to low starch, and high fiber and omega-3 fat, content. This advantage alone can help to increase work-productivity. Food allergy is an increasing disease. It is generally accepted that food allergy affects approximately 2.5% of the global population - this represents roughly 160 Million people! (World Allergy Organization)

Norway’s unique landscape necessitates one of the most extensive tunnel networks in the world. 1800 road and rail tunnels contribute to 9000km of tunnel in Norway. These are inspected manually by eye and on foot, a time-consuming and hazardous process producing only qualitative data on tunnel safety. To combat these issues, Techrail aims to provide an integrated solution that is safer for inspectors, that does not interfere with traffic, and more comprehensively evaluates the safety of tunnels. Our solution enables the measuring the change of a tunnel’s surface over time, which allows tunnel directors to predict maintenance needs and more accurately evaluate the state of their tunnels. A digital paper trail will also aid regulators in overseeing tunnel maintenance. Furthermore, our technology has a large number of secondary uses that provide value such as Building Information Modeling (BIM), tunnel construction, and crack detection.
