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. A highly experienced teamThe team behind Pharmasum Therapeutics have broad, international pharmaceutical and biotechnology experience, and is supported by an excellent group of advisors.

Software is eating education. Technology is used to modernise education. TERP has redefined the concept of a book by making it interactive. In its easiest form interaction can be films and animations integrated in a book. Tests and feedback on learning is one step further. In its most complex form, interaction is customised books generated for each reader, based on mapped preferences used as input in algorithms. The first book using this technology will have 114,000 potential versions. The TERP technology is not only redefining the concept of a book. It is interrupting the value chain in the industry. The technology provides a new and dynamic way of distribution. Competitors trying to copy the technology, not only has to figure out the code, they must change the way of doing business.

Spect8 is a norwegian tech startup with a mission to help sports organizations, pro-athletes and sponsors that don’t have enough time, capacity, or the necessary skills to reach their potential in growing fan engagement and commercial value. Due to the power of association among consumers, brands allocate an increasing amount of their advertising budgets towards sports teams and athletes. To measure the value of a sponsorship, sponsors rely on manual measurements and expensive consulting services. At the same time, athletes, clubs, and federations are left with few resources to decide what their commercial value is, and often forfeit revenue (and funding for their sport) by underselling their commercial value. To solve this problem, we have developed a tool called Foqus. Foqus is an easy-to-use machine learning tool created for sports teams and individual athletes to determine their commercial value for sponsorships, and for brands to manage and measure multiple agreements. We are currently working with Norsk Toppfotball, sports associations, clubs and and several brands, and are off to a good start to reach our goal of creating a new industry standard for how sponsorship value is created, measured, and driven. The existing team consists of three business developers with expertise in strategy, marketing, sponsorship, data and analysis. In addition, we have associated development teams with both front-end, back-end and database expertise. We have recently become a part of StartupLab's Accelerator program, are supported by Innovation Norway and have ambitions to scale our business both nationally and internationally in the coming years. We therefore wish to expand our team with a skilled developer who also wants to make a professional career as an entrepreneur. The CTO will have the overall responsibility for the further development and scaling of our core product, Foqus, as well as the development of new tools and concepts going forward.

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

Greenphones provides an end to end solution for to extend the lifetime of mobile phones and tablets. Through the provision of a simple user friendly interface allowing private individuals to trade-in their used phones where the value can either be used for the purchase of an upgraded phone or paid out in cash. We saw a clear need in the market to help the consumer and at the same time reduce the number of new mobiles being introduced into the market. As such for each and every new mobile 'not sold' sold in the market, we reduce the CO2 footprint by approximately 55kg. We estimate that we can extend the lifetime of any mobile between 250% and 300% Inspiration for your startup description There are other firms selling used mobile/tablets, but very few that offer the level of service trade-in value. The founders who previously worked with used IT equipment saw that the used mobile market was also in need of a solution. Greenphones has a number of strategies to expand beyond the core business to enhance the circular economy and is constantly in search of ways to support climate initiatives.
