Fixing and repairing of consumer goods are declining, and have been for many years. It can seem cheaper and more convenient to buy a new product and throw away the broken one. At the same time, repair shops need more customers. We will create a digital booking system to make repairing easier and convenient. Consumers can choose their preferred repair shop and order repairs directly from their couch and have it sent and delivered. At the same time, we help repairers reach new customers online and a CRM system optimised and co-created with repairers. Our mission is to build a culture for repair and inspire people to take care of what they already have. Our main SDG is number 12 - Responsible consumption and production. Increased volume of repair will lead to lower consumption and inspire consumers to buy less and better products. This is a big goal for Fikse and with our digital system, we know that it will lead to more reuse. In addition, Fikse is also contributing to goals 8, 11, 13 and 17. We care about the environment and will always work for these goals. In other words: We make repairs easy and convenient. Problem Today, repair and maintenance of consumer goods are a real hassle. It can seem cheaper and more convenient to buy a new product and throw away the broken one. In addition, repair shops need more customers and better margins. They also lack a customized system for managing orders and communicating with customers. Retail businesses have a hard time creating a solution for handling warranty and refund. Research shows that the inconvenience of repair is just as high an obstacle as the price. On the other side, repairers struggle to get customers. They do not have the time, money or resources to be active on social media or promote on digital platforms. They are also lacking a good system for managing orders and communicating with customers. Solution We help repair businesses and retail owners reach out to customers and respond to the emerging market for repairs and circularity. We are in the process of creating a digital booking system to make repairing easy, fast and convenient for all segments above. And we know that this sustainable concept is a service they actually want. At Høyer Paleet in Oslo, you can see for yourself. Together with the high-end retailer, we launched our MVP here in mid may. And what a response. We have over 800 bookings as of september 20, as well as the retail itself. This winter, we will start developing a fully digital version. This way, you can choose your preferred repair shop and order repairs directly from your couch and have it sent and delivered. At the same time, we help repairers reach new customers online by creating a CRM system optimized and co-created with repairers. We can manage all cases of repairs connected to warranty and refund for businesses to ensure the consumer a sustainable practice on all levels. Our dedicated team is ready to help you take care of what you have - so that your stuff can live longer and you can continue living your life.

Luminik is the event pipeline platform for B2B marketing and RevOps teams using Salesforce or HubSpot. When an attendee list, booth notes and follow-up live in separate tools, the event marketer has to piece together what happened and which opportunities came from the event. Luminik connects that work from event preparation through CRM attribution. Teams use Luminik to source attendee lists, enrich contact and company details through the vendors they already use, score attendees against their ideal customer profile, and prepare event-specific outreach. On the event floor, reps capture contacts and conversation notes. After the event, teams review follow-up and sourced and influenced pipeline using their CRM data. We are building Luminik for teams with pipeline targets for conferences and trade shows. Our focus is helping marketing and sales work from the same event context, with Salesforce or HubSpot remaining the system of record.

Pinovo has developed a clean, circular dustless grit blasting solution, which stops these emissions and which is also up to 60% more cost efficient than the traditional methods of surface maintenance for spot blasting.

ABchar is developing a new type of pyrolysis reactor, affordable heating and the possibility of small-scale biochar production, adapted to agriculture.. This will help achieve the goal of a 40% reduction in emissions from the agricultural sector. What is pyrolysis? Simply put, this is the heating of an organic material without access to oxygen. This leads to a series of reactions that ultimately result in 3 main products; biochar, oil and gas. We want to utilize the biochar in this process. The oil and gas will be burned and the heat from this will be used to dry grain, heat barns, greenhouses, residential buildings and other things that need heat on a farm. Why pyrolysis and biochar? Plants absorb CO2 from the air around us through photosynthesis. They are actually extremely good at this too. The residual product is mainly oxygen and the plant material. The great thing about pyrolysis is that we are able to separate water, oxygen and hydrogen from the plant material and we are left with more or less pure carbon 80% +. This is carbon from the air! If we take this coal and spread it on our agricultural land, it will be stored there for up to 1000 years and perhaps longer. In some cases, the soil will become more fertile and less vulnerable to periods of too much or too little water.

Splitleaf is the CMS for the AI era, on your device. It is a desktop app for Mac and Windows, with a visual website builder and agentic CMS. AI builds a website in one evening. The content still takes weeks. A normal CMS does not help, because it waits for someone to hand it finished content. We have built and maintained websites for 50+ businesses. After launch, 9 of 10 fell behind the business. The blocker was never the CMS. It was the content. Splitleaf allows your business to connect the AI provider you already use to your website project, it reads your website, the folders you give it acces to, competitor blogs and your search data. Then it proposes new pages and posts, and it writes the drafts with the goal of generating organic traffic that lasts. What you get - Your website changes when your business changes. A new product or a new release becomes a new page. - You never start from a blank page. Splitleaf proposes ideas from your product docs, release notes, competitor blogs and Google Search Console data. - Each idea shows its sources. You can check every claim before you write. - You pick an idea. The agent writes the draft in the voice of your website. - The agent does the site work too. Ask it to add a language, translate a page, change the site settings or duplicate a page. - When you move a page, a folder or a collection, the links to it on your pages and in your components change too. - Nothing goes live without you. You see each change as it will look, compared to the live site. You publish only the changes you select, to a staging site or straight to live. - Your website stays yours. It is HTML, CSS and Markdown files in your own GitHub repository, on the host you choose. The site folder holds only your site and one settings file. Why on your device Your business context is already on your computer. Splitleaf reads it where it is. Any folder works, including the folders that Google Drive, OneDrive and Dropbox sync to. You do not need to sign in to them, and you do not upload your files to us. The agent uses your own key from Anthropic, OpenAI or OpenRouter, at the provider's price. It also works with your Claude Code sign-in, and the usage counts against your Claude plan. AI models will soon run on your computer too. Splitleaf is ready for them. Who it is for - Freelancers and web agencies that keep many client websites current - Startups and software companies with a marketing website to grow - Founders and marketers who need new content without a developer Availability Splitleaf is available for Mac (Apple silicon and Intel) and Windows (x64 and Arm). Try every feature free.
