The problem:The easiest pollution to clean up, is what's on the surface. Lost fishing gear is hidden on the bottom. It doesn't only cause pollution, but also torture and death of enormous amounts of animals. About 10% of the total amount of seafood harvested are wasted to ghost fishing. Hundreds of thousands of crab- and lobster traps are lost every years. In the Florida Keys alone an estimated 100 000 traps are lost every yearCaptured animals starve to death, and become bait for others to follow. Lost traps thus become endless killing machines at a severe societal and environmental cost. Over time traps also start dissolving, releasing microplastics into the ocean, working its way into the food chain and polluting our seafood. The solution:ResqUnit is a device that's mounted on top of a trap or a pot. If the trap is left under water for a longer period of time, ResqUnit activates and floats to the surface. Thus enabling you to retrieve it.We are hoping to raise awareness so that anyone who sees the unique floating device, will either pull up the equipment or report it's location. That way everybody can do their part keeping the oceans cleaner and stop the unnecessary killing of sea life.

LifeTools AS develops digital tools for people with complex needs within the fields of communication, cognition, and challenged behavior. We put the user first and develop dynamic systems with high flexibility based on the unique user's needs. The network around the user will have digital tools to observe, build and publish expressions, routines, and activities into our systems, and use this information back into the interaction with the user. This gives a better foundation in communication and helps increase the quality of life for the user. Our philosophy is to use "everyday technology" such as tablets/phones and cloud-based solutions and develop highly intuitive and dynamic tools for the network. Users (people with special and complex needs) therefore do not need to acquire skills or knowledge in order to use our systems. This makes it easier for those who have great cognitive challenges to make use of our technological solutions.

At the moment we are working hard to set up a site for mushroom production, growing oyster mushrooms on coffee grounds. When we get a go-ahead for this we will be in demand for funding to set up the production site (we will be growing in used cooling containers, so-called reefers) and need people to work on the site.

Hei, mitt navn er Erik Johannesen og er gründer i det norske selskapet ID TAG TECHNOLOGY GROUP AS. Selskapet ID TAG TECHNOLOGY har en idé og teknologi som vi anser som støttende til innsamling av BIG DATA, og et utall andre muligheter innenfor dette konseptet. Vår ambisjon er at ID TAG TECHNOLOGY skal kan skape et nytt verdensomspennende markedsføringskonsept. ID TAG TECHNOLOGY sin patenterte teknologi/konsept har til hensikt å være en «plattform» for mange industrielle behov. Vi anser at vi kan lisensiere ut vår teknologi til logistikk, broadcast, marine, olje og gass mm. Utallige muligheter. Tenk deg at du tar et bilde med mobilkamera og kan se hvem som er på bildet med informasjon om vedkommende, samt at du kan se hvilken merkevare-/produsent som har produktene på bildet, i sanntid. Deretter trykker du på produktet på bildet som inneholder en url, og du blir sendt videre til produktets nettsted. Dette er ikke gjenkjennelses teknologi eller maskin learning, men rett informasjon som er skapt av de som ønsker å informere kundene i den store verden. ID TAG TECHNOLOGY ble etablert 2011, har en positiv PCT-rapport, og innleverte patentsøknader februar 2015 på en teknologi/konsept for å plassere/identifisere elektroniske tags/sensorer innenfor en billedramme i sanntid, både stillbilder og video/film i en rekke land. Både ideen og teknologien har oppfinnerhøyde. Teknologien som er beskrevet i patentsøknadene er utviklet/forsket på i samarbeid med SINTEF, og har pågått siden begynnelsen av 2011. Vi har nå utviklet en lab modell for å bevise at dette lar seg gjennomføre – dette kan du få se. ID TAG TECHNOLOGY GROUP har blitt innvilget patent i Norge, USA og Kina (2017). Det er for øvrig søkt patent i EPO, Russland, Hong Kong, Japan og Sør Korea. Søknadsprosessen går over all forventning. Teknologien kan benyttes både i profesjonelt utstyr og i personlige enheter som smarttelefoner og nettbrett/PC og egenutviklede hardwareprodukter for industrielle behov. Bruksområdene er mange, og vi har spesielt sett på kringkasting/film (produktplassering), markedsføring/varehandel, transport/distribusjon og sosiale medier. Vi ser store muligheter innenfor markedsføring og salg hvor interessenten har mer kontroll enn det som dagens trender tilsier.   Se gjerne våre illustrerende konsept filmer på vår hjemmeside: http://www.idtagtech.com  Med vennlig hilsen  Erik Johannesen Mob: +47 918 71 610 E-mail: erik.johannesen@bbnett.no Hjemmeside: http://www.idtagtech.com

Nordic Electrofuel offers a solution for the rapid transition from fossil to renewable electrical energy for all transport sectors. It is based on the conversion of renewable electric energy into liquid electro-fuels that can be as easily transported, stored, and used as conventional fossil hydrocarbons. It also provides a good solution to distribute and store stranded electrical energy. PTL (Power To Liquid) has been considered too expensive, but with the low electricity price in Norway and new efficient processing and upgrading solutions, it has become commercially feasible. Electrification of transportation is required to avoid catastrophic climate change. Battery- or cable-electric solutions are not feasible for transport like aviation and long-distance marine transport. Liquid energy carriers such as biofuels are desperately needed but limited. The fuel is free of sulfur and can therefore be used maritime industry as a fuel after 2022. The fuel emits much fewer particles and aromatics than conventional fossil fuel, so it also solves the local pollution problem. Competitive advantages: • Norway’s low electricity price from hydro and lately also wind power. • 20 - 30 % lower electricity consumption than with existing technology • Lower production price than advanced biofuels • Agreements in place for a site at Herøya, which has all utilities (cooling water, cheap renewable electricity, etc.) and processing expertise available. • About the same source to shaft efficiency as hydrogen, but with much lower total CAPEX due to no investment in distribution systems and engines.

We believe in People! The understanding that culture is important has in recent years become a major focus area for many companies. Research says that managers want better information on how to better utilize the strengths of employees. The tools they have seen today are not adapted to the everyday lives of managers. Quick and easy overview of what matters for how to manage the organization tomorrow. Based on this, we started Xientia to give leaders better tools to describe how the organization really is. The analyzes should be easy to interpret and implement for all employees.
