KAHU aims to close a persistent gap in maritime visibility - the inability to continuously track vessels not transmitting AIS (Automatic Identification System) data. AIS can be switched off, spoofed, or absent, creating blind spots exploited by illegal fishing, shadow fleets, and other high-risk actors. The AIS market is also dominated by a few providers, limiting access and transparency. This affects not only maritime safety and security but also the monitoring of ocean environments. We address this by building the first real-time, crowdsourced radar detection network for the ocean. Our onboard software connects to existing vessel radar, collects radar echoes, and streams them securely to the cloud using low-bandwidth protocols. There, echoes are linked into vessel tracks and fused with AIS, satellite imagery, and other data layers to produce a continuous, sea-level view of vessel movements, enabling comprehensive visibility over human activity at sea and supporting timely, informed action.

Founded in Oslo, Norway in 2013, Huddly combines hardware, software and AI to create intelligent vision products for everyone who uses video to collaborate. Huddly currently has two products in the market: the award-winning Huddly IQ and the Huddly GO. Huddly brings artificial intelligence into the meeting room with small, wide-angle USB cameras that deliver a high-quality video conferencing experience, straight out of the box and on any platform. Thanks to an onboard neural engine, Huddly cameras can see, understand and respond to their environment. The Huddly Genius features intelligently automate manual processes and remove the need to control the camera, making it easier to collaborate and get things done. With the Huddly InSights analytics API, Huddly cameras provide organizations with high-quality meeting room analytics data that, when enabled by platform providers, can help them make better-informed decisions about how they use their meeting spaces. Huddly products are flexible, inclusive, easy-to-use and software-upgradable. Whereas most tech gets old fast, Huddly products stay new with software updates, enhancements and new Genius feature releases. Huddly is headquartered in Oslo.

Evyon maximizes the value of second-life EV batteries by repurposing them into high-quality energy storage systems in a streamlined, safe, and cost-effective way. We develop novel technologies for reassembly and operations to convert usable second-life EV batteries into modular plug-and-play battery storage systems. Our ambition is to make battery storage truly accessible for a wide range of applications, including reducing peak energy demand (peak shaving), increasing self-consumption of energy from solar panels, providing critical services to grid operators, and increasing available power in an environmentally friendly way to underserved locations and applications.

Seidr builds software that turns months of manual site selection and early-phase engineering work into hours of automated analysis, for developers of energy-intensive industrial projects: Power-to-X, data centers, and other power-hungry industries across Europe. Today, finding and qualifying a site for one of these projects takes 6-18 months and can cost millions, because the work is done manually, spreadsheet by spreadsheet, consultant by consultant, one candidate site at a time. Critical blockers, such as insufficient grid capacity or zoning conflicts, often surface only after months of work, when changing course is expensive. Seidr automates this. Our platform screens candidate sites in parallel against dozens of criteria, including grid capacity, current and future zoning, and environmental risk, and returns a ranked, decision-ready shortlist in hours instead of months. The underlying logic is built on real industrial project experience, not generic AI. We already have a signed, paying pilot customer and a growing pipeline of Power-to-X and data center developers across the Nordics and Germany. Backed by a venture studio, we are now looking for a CEO to take Seidr from pilot to scale, and to grow the platform from site selection into the full early-phase planning stack for energy-intensive projects.

EMerald Geomodelling is a spin-off from the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI). Though we are a young company founded in 2019, our business is built on a decade of research and development at NGI. We are creating a tool that revolutionizes the way we build roads, railways, tunnels, and other types of infrastructure towards a more sustainable use of resources. By using AI to detect patterns and manage uncertainties, we provide critical insights early on in large building projects that help our clients make better decisions. Why do we do this? Worldwide, building infrastructure costs billions of dollars. Too often, actual costs go way over budget. These extra billions spent are a huge burden on society. Our mission is to lessen that burden. By helping our clients build roads, railways, and tunnels with fewer costly interventions, we help free up funds for other worthy social and environmental goals.

Fyresign (formerly SocialScreen) builds cloud-based digital signage software that helps businesses manage content across screens - in stores, offices, receptions or public spaces - in real time, without needing technical expertise. We've operated under the Fyresign name since 2025, continuing the product and team behind SocialScreen, now serving customers in Norway and internationally. We believe digital signage is about more than screens - it's about reaching the right person with the right message at the right time. That's why we build a product that's fast to set up for a single store, yet flexible enough to scale across chains running hundreds of screens. We're a small, fast-moving team with a short distance from idea to shipped feature, working closely with both product and customers. Now we're growing further - in Norway and into new markets - and looking for people who want to be part of that journey.
