ProTag is building a Digital Product Passport platform that helps manufacturers and product owners manage and share product data across their supply chains. We solve the growing challenge of fragmented, unstructured information by combining a network-driven SaaS platform with AI that turns messy supplier data into structured, usable product intelligence. Across industries, a new reality is emerging: products are no longer just physical objects, they are data assets. To sell, operate, and scale, companies need reliable information about what goes into their products, where it comes from, and how it evolves over time. The problem is that this data does not exist in one place. It is scattered across suppliers, stored in PDFs, buried in emails, or locked inside disconnected systems. Most companies today are trying to manage this with spreadsheets and manual processes. That might work internally, but it breaks down completely across a supply chain. This creates a structural problem: • Companies depend on data they do not own • Suppliers struggle to provide consistent information • Teams spend significant time chasing, cleaning, and validating data At the same time, external pressure is increasing. Customers, partners, and regulators are all asking for more transparency. What used to be “nice to have” is quickly becoming required to do business. The result is a growing gap between what companies need to know about their products and what they can actually access and trust. ProTag gives companies a way to build a live, structured view of their products across the entire supply chain. Instead of trying to centralize everything manually, we connect the different actors and let data flow where it is created. Companies use ProTag to: • Organize product data in a consistent structure • Request and receive information directly from suppliers • Keep everything updated as products evolve • Share product data with customers and partners when needed AI plays a critical role in making this scalable. We use AI to: • Turn unstructured documents into structured product data • Identify gaps, inconsistencies, and risks in real time • Reduce the effort required to onboard suppliers and maintain data quality What makes ProTag different is how it scales. We are not just building a tool for a single company. We are building a network. When one manufacturer joins ProTag, their suppliers are invited in. When those suppliers join, they can reuse their data across multiple customers. Over time, this creates a shared data layer where: • Information becomes easier to access • Data quality improves naturally • Switching costs increase for everyone involved We do not replace existing systems. We sit on top of them and connect them. This makes adoption fast and reduces friction from day one. We started ProTag because we experienced this problem firsthand. Working in industries with complex products, we saw how much time was spent chasing information that should have been readily available. Engineers, quality teams, and commercial teams were all dealing with the same issue from different angles, but there was no real solution. At the same time, the direction of the market became clear. Transparency around products is increasing, not decreasing. The amount of data required is growing fast. Most companies are not prepared for this shift. We realized this is not just a workflow problem, it is an infrastructure problem. The way product data is managed today does not match how supply chains actually work. That is why we are building ProTag. Our ambition is simple: to become the default way companies manage and share product data across supply chains. Once that layer exists, it unlocks everything else.

Ode is building the world’s simplest solution for therapeutic music. We combine a smart speaker with a single-knob interface and AI-driven curation to reduce anxiety, agitation, and depression in people living with dementia. Founded after CEO Guttorm saw music’s impact through his grandmother’s dementia, Ode exists to remove the time, technology, and cost barriers that keep personalised music out of everyday care. Today, getting it right typically means specialist mapping, hours of playlist work, and daily device hassle, which caregivers and families can’t sustain. Ode makes it practical: curate in minutes, then play instantly with one knob—so the right music is there when it’s needed, without adding workload.

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.

We are a Norwegian startup with global reach, offering both a no-code/low-code solution for non-technical SMBs and a robust API and SDK for developers, enabling businesses of all sizes and technical capabilities to harness the power of AI. Valma.ai is addressing the challenge of AI underutilization in businesses, spanning from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMBs) to large corporations with in-house development teams. This issue affects companies across various industries, particularly in the Scandinavian market, but is rapidly gaining global recognition. For non-technical SMBs, the problem lies in the complexity and inaccessibility of many AI solutions, which often require specialized knowledge to implement and use effectively. These businesses struggle to leverage AI to enhance their productivity and competitiveness due to limited resources and technical expertise. On the other hand, companies with strong technical capabilities face a different challenge. While they have the skills to implement AI solutions, they often lack a flexible, scalable platform that allows them to quickly develop and deploy custom AI-powered applications tailored to their specific needs. Valma.ai recognizes that the need for AI-driven productivity spans across the spectrum of technical capabilities, from marketing agencies needing simple automation to tech companies requiring advanced AI integration. Our platform is designed to bridge this gap, offering solutions for both ends of the technical spectrum. Valma.ai solves these problems by offering a dual-approach platform: For non-technical users and SMBs: A user-friendly, no-code/low-code interface that allows easy creation and management of AI-powered workflows Pre-built AI variants (Chatbot, Agent, and Workflow) that can be easily customized and deployed Simple integration options, including a chat window that can be easily added to websites White-labeling capabilities for brand customization For developers and technically advanced users: A robust API that allows deep integration of Valma.ai's AI capabilities into existing systems and applications An SDK for building custom solutions and extending the platform's functionality Advanced features like custom annotations to override language models for precise outputs Flexible data management, including the ability to edit uploaded/stored data directly in a vector database Common features for all users: - Multiple AI variants that can be combined for complex problem-solving - Integration capabilities with both internal and external tools - Long-term memory for storing and retrieving important information - Collaboration features for team-based workflow creation - Voice-to-text and text-to-voice capabilities - Built-in security features and GDPR compliance This comprehensive solution allows businesses of all sizes and technical capabilities to leverage AI effectively, whether they're looking for out-of-the-box solutions or want to build custom, AI-powered applications.

THE URGENT ISSUE IN TODAY'S JOB MARKET IN THE NORDIC COUNTRIES: ✪ Traditional recruitment prioritizes CV algorithms and keywords over human potential, by an astonishing 90%. When ATS/AI control who gets seen, we lose the most important factor: the human behind the CV. This creates not just unemployment, but social exclusion - when people can't find work, they lose connection to society and experience profound isolation. ✪ Todays recruitment methods are narrowly fixated purely on qualifications and historical experience, relying heavily on algorithms to sift through CVs. This approach overlooks the unique talents and motivations of individuals, drivingforces, personality and thus missing out on valuable opportunities for growth and success. ✪ THE RESULT: People are often using ChatGPT or Copilot to write their applications + HR are using AI to read them = nobody is getting hired. ✪ Sweden struggles with high youth unemployment and urban-rural divides. Refugee integration remains uneven, and platform work is eroding traditional protections. Union influence is waning, especially in tech and service sectors. ✪ Denmark’s famed flexicurity model is under pressure. Women are overrepresented in part-time roles, and older workers exit early. Gig work is expanding faster than regulation, challenging collective bargaining norms. ✪ Finland faces persistent long-term unemployment and mental health-related exclusion. Industrial restructuring is shifting jobs to tech hubs, leaving peripheral regions behind. Labor mobility remains low despite retraining efforts. In conclusion; the Nordic countries face mounting labor market exclusion despite strong welfare models. Norway leads with 700,000 adults outside the labor force, driven by regional stagnation, immigrant underemployment, and early retirement. The green and digital transitions are creating jobs—but not where displaced workers live. THE PERFECT STORM FOR US! TURNING THE RECRUITMENT MARKET UPSIDE-DOWN «From employer initiated to 100% talent focused.» Our Solution: Talentity.ai = AI meets empathy! Nordic's first community for job seekers, where talent takes center stage. Meeting the talents, rather than relying on historical data on a piece of paper. Creating an empathic AI, that combines human expertise with technology, supporting decision making and not taking over the entire process.

Empire AI is a company founded by workspace consultants with over a decade of experience in developing office buildings. Through our work, we noticed that the office planning process is characterized by gut-feelings, guesswork and outdated benchmarks. This results in suboptimal office space that has massive amounts of unused space - an average of 80-90% of chairs and 50-60% of rooms remain empty during work hours in a typical office building today. Simultaneously, employees are complaining they do not have the necessary rooms and support their work. To address this issue, we created Empire AI. Empire's software is designed to transform the way you plan and manage your office space, making office buildings more space efficient, sustainable, and people-centric. Our machine learning models can predict how your office space will be used, allowing you to make informed decisions before you even begin building. With our software, you'll be able to identify which rooms and areas will be most useful and which will be less so, ensuring optimal utilization of your space. It can be used for building specifications, scenario planning, monitoring and improving existing office space and to predict utilization before building the space. Our recommendations are based on years of research and data, so our customers can be confident that they're making the right choices.

The building industry alone accounts for 40% of the global CO2 emissions. We believe that reducing this number starts with looking at materials we already have. Reuse of building materials is however not easy to coordinate and execute. Our mission is therefore to make this information available, and facilitate the process from design to construction. Through a series of web-applications and integrations with Building Information Modelling (BIM) software, we’ve started to form synchronized and comprehensive solutions to help the building industry reduce its climate change. Tvinn Solutions Enables Circular Economy through Reuse-oriented Solutions for rchitects, Real-estate developers and owners.
