Silicon Valhalla is a Nordic tech intelligence hub that maps startups, founders, investors, and market signals across the Nordic region, with a particular emphasis on AI, SaaS, and frontier innovation. It exists to make the “Silicon Valhalla” ecosystem - Nordic tech’s answer to Silicon Valley - more visible, navigable, and investable for founders, operators, and capital. The platform combines a curated startup directory, an events calendar, and ecosystem insights into a single, neutral entry point for Nordic tech. Startups and scaleups get structured profiles highlighting what they do, where they are based, which sector they play in, and how to reach them, while investors and partners can quickly scan emerging companies across AI, climate, fintech, deep tech, and more. A continuously updated view of companies and activity aims to surface momentum early, so users can spot new categories, breakout teams, and upcoming fundraising stories before they hit the mainstream. Silicon Valhalla is designed to be independent and ecosystem-first rather than a job board or paywalled database. The service is currently free to use, making discovery accessible while opening the door for future premium offerings such as featured profiles, highlighted events, and deeper signal products for investors and corporates. In short, Silicon Valhalla is building the default map and narrative for Nordic tech: a living overview of the startups, talent, and ideas turning the region into one of the most dynamic innovation hubs in Europe.

Lyfta is building the operating system for strength training. Today, millions of people go to the gym without a clear plan, without tracking properly, and without understanding whether they’re actually progressing. Most tools in the space optimize for engagement, not outcomes. We think that’s the wrong approach. Strength training is one of the highest-leverage activities for long-term health, but only if it’s structured, consistent, and measurable. That’s what we’re building, a system that helps people train with clarity, track real progress, and improve over time. Lyfta is already used by over a million people globally, with strong growth month over month. We’re still early, but the ambition is clear: build the product people rely on to get stronger, not just another app they use occasionally.

Bio-Me Is Setting The Standard For Routine Microbiome Analysis Gut microbiome research has become essential to almost every medical research field. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have been crucial in enabling a breakthrough in our understanding of the significant role gut microbes play in health and disease. However, the field is now moving past the exploratory research phase and there is a need to translate microbiome research findings into actionable clinical solutions. Application of NGS for this purpose faces several challenges related to precision, turnaround time, cost per sample, and the need for complex bioinformatic pipelines.

Valma.ai is a versatile AI-powered SaaS platform to help businesses actually become highly productive with Artificial Intelligens. 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. By providing both no-code options and developer tools, Valma.ai ensures that companies can start small and scale their AI usage as their needs and capabilities grow.

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.
