RightHair is developing a global market and education platform for curly and afro-textured hair to help people and minority women solve the problems of lack of availability of products and services and women's challenges in being financially independent worldwide. Through RightHair we give women all over the world an opportunity to start their own businesses and be financially independent. We do this by creating a software platform to connect freelancers, retailers and hairdressers to their customers. And we top that off with a “skill share” community for education. People with curls and afro textured hair are excluded from offers and services in today's beauty industry. Also, financial abuse is one of the main reasons why women are unable to leave relationships, worldwide. These problems contribute to discrimination in society, that women with minority backgrounds end up outside society and this makes the poor poorer. Women of color are excluded from many of the existing offers worldwide. RightHair solves these problems by creating a market platform where all services and products meet. So that people with curly and afro textured hair always can find something in their area. We also solve women's job and financial challenges around the world by offering a platform on which they can sell their products and services. Here they also get the opportunity to take courses, learn how to start and build a business and collaborate with partners outside their network. RightHair was founded by Lalla Coulibaly and Olimata Jeng who both grew up in Norway with roots from Africa. Due to the lack of offers for themselves and their community, the ladies each started their own platforms. Over the past 5 years, Krølltopp.no and Norwegian Naturals have grown into Norway's largest platforms for curly and afro textured hair with a total of 12,000 monthly users. now the ladies have teamed up to start RightHair as the question they get the most on their platforms is “where can I get my hair cut” and “where can I find products?''. Both ladies want to put time and energy into something that can contribute to women's opportunities and living conditions. This desire comes from their own experience as minority women in Norway with African roots.

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

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 .

THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE The goal of restaurants, bars and other eating and drinking venues is to provide the best customer experience possible. The customer’s well-being is directly linked to the amount of money spent during their stay and the likelihood that they will return. THE IMPORTANCE OF SOUND Research has shown that a well composed sound environment has direct impact on how the guest’s overall experience and even how the taste of the food and drinks are perceived. LARGE INVESTMENTS IN SOUND EQUIPMENT Most restaurants and bars know how important the sound environment is for a good customer experience and it is common to spend thousands of dollars on sound equipment. WHAT DECIDES THE VOLUME? The volume is usually controlled manually by waiters or bartenders in-between their other duties. Lack of information and knowledge of the customers perception often lead to poor volume level decisions. THE SOLUTION IS WAVED Wall-mounted sensors are placed around the venue and listens to the sound environment. Waved’s brain is build around our self-developed algorithm. It has the ability to understand and evaluate the sound environment and is used to set the perfect sound volume in order to maximise the customer experience.

Comlight is a Norwegian company specializing in energy saving streetlight solutions and is a commercial technology provider on the international market. For Comlight, the question is how to solve the problem of pointless energy waste in fully illuminated roads at times when there is no traffic. The answer is the Motion Sensing Street Light Control System, an energy saving technology that illuminates only when and where it is actually needed, without compromising the safety. The system features a radar detector on each light pole that senses all activity that requires optimal lighting on the road or in the area. When movement is detected by the closest street light, the light turns on to a full 100 per cent, allowing full sight and turns down to 20 per cent for energy saving when no one is around. The system has been tested by the Norwegian Public Road Authority and is represented in thousands of light points across Europe. Comlight is constantly expanding through its distribution partners. The system suits roads/streets, parks, large industrial areas and residential areas. Comlight sells to commercial distributors and is continuously working to find distribution partners that match its environmental values and future plans.

Solcellespesialisten drives av selskapet Sivilingeniør Carl Christian Strømberg AS. Dette selskapet eies foruten av grunnleggeren Carl Christian Strømberg av personer med lang erfaring innen solcelleteknologi, distribusjon og elektromontasje. Virksomheten ble startet i 2005, og har frem til 2013 hovedsaklig arbeidet med å inngå avtaler med internasjonale partnere, gått på kurs og testet ulike løsninger og produkter i Norge. I denne perioden så omsatte virksomheten for ca 2 MNOK pr år. I januar 2014 så vi at vi fikk så mange forespørsler at vi fikk våre første 2 fulltidsansatte og vi begynte for alvor å satse på solcellesalg i Norge. Vi er i dag blitt Norges ledende solcelleleverandør, med flest nettilkoblede solcelleinstallasjoner i Norge, Vi har pr oktober 2016 levert anlegg fra 100Wp til 684.000Wp. 95% av alt salg vi har er indirekte via partnere som strøm og nettselskaper, elektriker, entreprenører mv. Våre salgskanaler bestemmer selv om vi skal kun levere materiell eller nøkkelferdige løsninger. Vi skal være det ledende selskapet innen distribusjon og montasje av solceller i Norge. Dette vil vi få til ved å sørge for at vi har produkter som er raske og montere for å få lave monteringskostnader og vi har som mål at vi skal få samme eller lavere  kostnadsnivå på solceller og invertere som det er ellers i europa i dag. Det siste skal vi få til ved å kjøpe inn stort og hele tiden satse på vekst. Vi sørger også for at produktene vi selger har den beste kvaliteten som finnes i markedet og har heletiden løpende fokus på kvalitetssikring.
