New drugs for treating diseases of Down syndrome. More than 1% of the global GDP is spent on nursing demented people, and the number requiring nursing will triple within 2050. The disease is progressive, leading to death. There is no current cure available, only symptomatic treatments. Individuals born with Down syndrome have a more than 10x risk of developing dementia as well as a host of other diseases including diabetes. Our drug target, DYRK1A is an enzyme found on chromosome 21, and is considered a key factor determining developmental and medical challenges faced by individuals with Down. The enzyme interacts with multiple biological mechanisms involved in Alzheimer’s and autoimmune diseases. Advanced drug designUsing advanced drug design technologies, we have designed a potent DYRK1A inhibitor drug, PST-900. A use and substance of matter patent have been applied for. The company is currently working on chemical Lead Optimisation with 8 full-time medicinal chemists contracted.Financing and milestonesThe Company raised NOK 5 million in 2015 and 8.8 MNOK in 2016/2017, matching non-dilutive research (BIA) and business grants (Innovation Norway). We demonstrated Proof of Principle in a model system for Alzheimer’s disease in 2Q2016. We have also demonstrated that our drug is capable of reversing diabetes in an animal model. Together with clinical and regulatory advisors, we have identified an important unmet need for a drug to treat newly diagnosed diabetes. We will use this indication to quickly progress to market and from there develop analogous drug molecules in Alzheimer’s disease, focused especially in Down syndrome. Funding soughtThe current funding round will raise 15+ MNOK to fund the progression to the final Development Candidate during 2018. Following this, further funding will be sought to perform toxicology/safety and Phase 1 clinical studies.

I am Currently Looking to expand my upcoming Scandinavian fashion brand. I started sewing as a hobby, but last year I quit my job to make my hobby my full-time job. I sew unique pieces by hand, only Using one-of-a-kind Fabrics - which makes my pieces Even more special. The Concept is about simple silhouettes and designs but makes Them multifunctional in special materials. One top from my brand, gives 10 more in your closet, just by wrapping and knotting it in Many Different ways.  Currently, I do it all by myself from sales, design, production, creative process, economy and retail. My Handmade, one-of-a-kind pieces and theme, have Found a working segment and client group, and the brand is growing fast at the moment. It has come to a point where the sales keep increasing, and I have too much to organize all by myself. I have a bachelor's degree in fashion design and modelling. I Need help and advisors to max out all the possibilities Coming my way. For upcoming future plans, I have a sew- and design book Coming up; in collaboration With the Norwegian book-publishing firm Aschehoug, we Are making a book about my concept, sewing patterns, inspiration and fashion. This book will be ready in September. I also have a collaboration involving a catwalk show With my Handmade pieces in Oslo this summer, and a design job, sewing pieces for a Norwegian artist for a summer tour and tv show. I Want to expand and try out a pop-up shop, combined With the sales I Currently do online/through my Webpage BergLarsenOfficial.com. Every month Im sewing a new Collection With new, fun, inspiring pieces for my segment: girls aged 15-35 years. My summer pieces Are selling so well right now, I even have customers from all around the world. So there is a lot happening around my growing brand. I Want to maximise the possibilities, while can. I Use Instagram as a platform to reach out to my customers: @berglarsenofficial

This is an app that you have on your phone . It functions as a shield to protect you when you need it. This app uses your family and friends to protect you .when. You are in trouble . you open the app . And take a photo of the person you deem as a threat . This photo is instantly distributed to your family and friends . Who also receive directions on how to get to you by the shortest possible route via google maps . By car or bus bicycle or walking . The police are called up so that you have the option to talk to them should you deem it necessary. We also have a paid version of The app . This version includes a crime map that shows crimes that have recently been committed . this is extremely helpful for places you are visiting and has full coverage in the UK and most of the USA . The reason I am doing it Sitting at home one night, I received a call that changed everything. While working alone in London, my brother had been brutally attacked with a hammer. I was devastated and felt completely powerless. He was miles away in another country, what could I do to help? Nothing! Walking along the river, thinking about what had happened, I looked down at the water and suddenly it came to me. I knew what I had to do. I had to find something that would make everyone safer and help prevent these kinds of attacks from happening again. I realised I could use the one thing everybody carries with them, their phone, as a shield to protect them! This idea became the Guardians app.

Coright tilbyr en løsning skreddersydd for en global medieindustri og er støttet av flere renommerte investorer og Innovasjon Norge. Tjenesten er et kontraktshåndteringssystem som hjelper kjøpere og selgere av medieinnhold (som foto, film, illustrasjoner) å holde oversikt over komplekse lisenserings- og rettighetsavtaler. Dagens manuelle praksiser og systemer gjør at de kreatives rettigheter misbrukes og at merkevarer utsettes for stor finansiell- og branding compliance risiko. Dette er et globalt problem hvor det ikke eksisterer gode løsninger.

We offer a unique opportunity to rent an electric bike via an app. The bike is designed to be safe, simple and efficient for all users. With our system we can control where the bikes must be parked, so that it does not hinder pedestrians or riders. This is called HUB/geo fence, which is both flexible and tidy. We are the first in the market with this idea for electric bike rentals run by local founders from Oslo. Our goal is to create a web of transport connected to all districts in Oslo. This is something we can achieve, because we already have good relations with the urban environment agency, as well as a couple of districts that are interested in this transport opportunity .

1,5 mrd. smarttelefoner produseres årlig, noe som etterlater seg et betydelig karbonutslipp og e-avfallsutfordringer. Med en økende fokus på bærekraft og sirkulær økonomi, er Moorup super motiverte til gi et positivt bidrag til miljøet ved å gjøre det like enkelt og trygt å kjøpe brukt elektronikk, som det er å kjøpe ny. Vi gjør dette ved å utvikle plattformer, prosesser og tjenester, i tillegg til å tilby produkter som brukte smarttelefoner, nettbrett osv. Vi gjøre det mulig for våre partnerkanaler å tilby salg av brukt, bytte brukt mot brukt, samt forsikrings og finansieringstjenester for brukt, nettopp for å gjøre det enklere for forbrukere og bedrifter og ta et smartere valg for både miljøet og lommeboka. Sammen med vår partnere prøver vi å gjøre vårt bidrag til å gjøre planeten til et bedre sted, en smart telefon av gangen.

Ferdia har som mål å digitalisere og fornye turbussbransjen gjennom en Uber-lignende tilnærming. Vi skal revolusjonere turbussmarkedet gjennom å digitalisere små og mellomstore turbusselskap og ved å gjøre det mye enklere å leie og bruke turbusser. Det være seg til firmaturer, festivaler eller fotballkamper. Turbussbransjen i Europa er preget av et stort antall busselskap og lite digitalisering. 85% av tiden står bussene parkert eller kjører på veien uten passasjerer i setene. Våre nye digitale tjenester kombinert med maskinlæring og rute-optimalisering vil gjøre det mulig å utnytte bussenes kapasitet mye mer effektivt enn i dag. Vi har fått støtte fra Innovasjon Norge, inngått samarbeid med Tide, et av Norges største busselskap, og har begynt arbeidet med internasjonalisering. Dette blir et spennende år!
