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

A global movement to make it fun & easy to break the ice between people to find true love, friendships, and social activities with an optimal mix of high-tech & high-touch organized as a Master Franchise. The top management team at Wilh. Wilhelmsen ASA bought the idea in 2006 as a social benefit. Love & Friendship locally & globally - health & peace! Personal matchmaking, online dating, friendships, mingling! Improving relationship health! Looking for: mentor(s), companies to co-create (pilot project), team members, business partners, investors, etc. Storytelling frame (the truth): Svalbard: Here you can still risk meeting polar bears in the streets. Every semester the university (UNIS) has an icebreaker party! Since 2004 I have tested out different ideas and found them possible to succeed. For more information read this paper: ALYTUS COLLEGE, ISSN 2029-9311, October 30, 2013: 50 % of the world population lives in big cities worldwide - how will this affect our social relationships -- and how to improve these? 50 % of the world population lives in big cities worldwide --and this will increase (globalis.no) - how will this affect our social relationships, and how to improve these? Several statistics underline the challenges of the modern world: 50 % or more are single. 50 % are cheating. 50 % or more break up or divorce. 25 % on sick leave as a result of a relationship breakup. Low libido is now a public health problem. 48 % have only one friend, but not a reliable one in a crisis. 50 % of the population wants more friends. We become more sick from our private lives than our work lives (Modesta Olsen, 2007), and the modern family is the most common family structure (Almendingen, 2010). Which social structures can survive the strain of losing the qualities of faithfulness, honesty, and decency? Cynicism becomes our defense. Depression and feelings of emptiness are the prices we pay. Giving hugs, care, and trust to others not only bring greater happiness - it can also lead to better business. Icebreakercard.com is a new world movement to solve these social challenges. It fights for its vision: Love and friendship locally and globally! Our big goal is to improve your life quality. As social entrepreneurs, we are called the fourth sector which cooperates with the other three: private, public, and civic (Ellis, 2006) with an optimal mix of high tech & high touch! In this paper, I will present my research findings in the Western world (mainly Norway and USA) and my part of the solution as a social entrepreneur of Icebreakercard.com. A social entrepreneur has been described as our time's hero and heroines. We create solutions where none of the sectors have succeeded well enough. Bad relationships lead to health problems in the population across age and gender. Mental health conditions are now the key concern in all of the OECD countries. The employer and the community take the economic bill when the employee is on sick leave. The disease is a private matter, but absence is not.

Research shows that 80% of Small business owners and startups don't have the tools, time or budget to make videos at the volume and quality needed to compete. So I decided to create an alternative route for SMBs and startups to reach the market - this one is via low cost, high-quality video production marketplace. Optix.io is a two-sided creative marketplace that connects creative video freelancers with SMBs and startups and brings them together to work quickly, reliably, and flexibly at a fixed cost. We have done lots of research in this field (as our team has an extensive background in video creation for the biggest brands and companies, and we know what mistakes are most common for the clients and freelancers. That's why we have drafted the right set of options to provide the perfect outcome. How It All Works. The client uploads a brief of what they would like to film, pick a date and time, confirm terms and conditions hit pay; we will then match them with a creative freelancer that will show up on the date, film edit and deliver on the same day. Freelancers will be able to capture more of their earning potential without having to compromise on quality. At the same time, clients can get more value for their money by tapping into the creative minds of independent creators. I'm Farzad, founder of Optix.io. I have over 17 years of experience in video creation. I have worked for the biggest brands and companies in Norway like TV2 and internationally like Google, Siemens and MTV. I have always had multiple requests from SMBs and startups to create content for them, but unfortunately, they couldn't always afford the rates, so with Optix, I'm making it affordable and effective. Optix is a small startup from Oslo/Norway, and We believe in small businesses. So we're here to help them grow and create the best video content possible from start to finish. And hope you can join us on our journey. ​ optixmedia.io | matchmade to create

Orixe solves the problem of counterfeit parts (pirate products) and supply chain uncertainty across multiple industries. This problem with counterfeit parts and false certificates is especially prevalent in the aerospace, automotive and electronics industry, but can be said to be a cross-industry problem. Counterfeit parts create problems for producers such as faulty products (as seen in the cases Fake medical masks, Samsung Galaxy Note 7, or the Takata airbags), but also that goods do not adhere to regulations such as REACH and RoHS or comply with quality requirements. Companies risk severe financial damage such as: - loss in sales, - not meeting quality standards, - lawsuits and - lost reputation. The Orixe Platform has been developed in close cooperation with out pilot customer within the defense- and aerospace industry to solve the cross-industry problem of counterfeit parts. Orixe ensures integrity and transparency by tracing components country of origin and their adherance to regulations, i.e REACH and RoHS. The solution is a new way of combining database and blockchain that effectively and securely tracks transactions between companies. This creates a secure image of the supply chain which raises effectivity in quality- and supplier assurance. To make it easier for our customers to be sure of their suppliers quality standards and reduce time and effort spent on quality assurance, Orixe is also providing a solution that automates the process of auditing suppliers. Orixe is a company that is devoted to creating a more sustainable future. Many of the global challenges that we face today such as pollution, corruption and modern slavery are hidden i dark supply chains. By providing a solution that makes supply chains transparent we reduce the risk of unethical behavior within the supply chain, and help companies to fulfill the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

We use a new technology for sealing ventilation duct from the inside. The technology was developed in the US in 1994, but didn't reach the European market until 2015. In 2016 ImL Aeroseal started up in Finland, and as of September 1st 2020 we are breaking into the Norwegian market. Our product solves the issues with the traditional sealing of ventilation ducts; using tape and acryllic sealant to try and plug the leaks. Instead we build up a pressure inside the system and inject a small particle gas that finds all the small leakages and seals them. Not only is it faster, but also alot more effective than the previous method, which in turn makes it much more financially beneficent. With a ventilation system that has little to no leakage you extend the life of the engines and maximize the output of the fans. In addition you get cleaner air in the serviced areas. I became a part of this startup because with my 15 years of experience in the ventilation industry I can truly see the advantages of this method to improve the effectiveness of the ventilation systems and enhance the indoor air quality.

The world is getting urbanized and we need more and more resources to build and develop our cities. With this growth comes an increased pressure on natural resources. At the same time we have already have an impressive ''bank of materials'' available in the cities, namely in our buildings. By mapping and understanding the amount, quality and accessibility of these materials we can better plan for the future. We can decrease the pressure on new materials and create a circular building industry. AGAIN X provides a top down approach to mapping existing buildings, their content and status, by using aggregated data and machine learning. Our SaaS platform will give better KPIs(Key Performance Indicators) to real estate investors and managers. The KPIs will help them make more sustainable long-term decisions; better for their wallet and better for the planet.
