Improve Performance International AS is a Norwegian software and consulting company that has spent more than 30 years helping organizations improve leadership, sales performance, employee development, recruitment, and organizational growth. The Problem We Solve Most organizations invest significant resources in strategy development, training programs, leadership development, recruitment, and change initiatives. However, many struggle with one critical challenge: They cannot consistently turn plans into measurable and documented results. Common challenges include: Leadership training that inspires but does not create lasting behavioral change. Sales training where participants return to old habits after the course. Lack of visibility into whether employees are improving their skills and performance. Difficulty measuring the return on investment (ROI) of training and development initiatives. Recruitment processes that focus on CVs and interviews rather than documented competencies and development potential. Managers lacking tools to systematically follow up goals, activities, and progress. Our Solution We have developed two complementary platforms: 1. Improve Performance & Training System (IPTS) A cloud-based performance management and training platform that helps organizations: Assess current competencies and performance. Define strengths, weaknesses, goals, and KPIs. Create personalized development plans. Deliver structured training and coaching programs. Track activities, milestones, and progress. Measure and document improvement over time. Our methodology is built around the PROVE Framework: Plan → Run → Optimize → Validate → Expand This ensures that development initiatives move beyond training events and become measurable improvement processes. 2. Improve Job Portal (IJP) An AI-powered recruitment and talent platform designed to help employers, recruiters, consultants, and candidates connect more effectively. The platform combines: AI-enhanced candidate profiles Assessment and benchmarking tools Talent communities Employer branding Structured candidate databases AI-supported recruitment workflows This enables organizations to make better hiring decisions while helping candidates showcase their competencies, experience, and growth potential. Why We Are Different Unlike traditional training providers, HR systems, ATS platforms, or consulting firms, we combine: Performance Management Training & Coaching Assessment & Benchmarking Recruitment & Talent Development AI-driven insights and automation into one integrated ecosystem. The platform has been developed and refined through real-world projects involving: More than 500 organizations Over 2,000 leaders More than 8,000 sales professionals Thousands of documented development activities and milestone measurements Our Vision Our vision is to become a global platform for measurable human and organizational development, helping companies improve performance, recruit smarter, and document the impact of their investments in people. We believe that growth should not be based on assumptions. It should be measured, validated, and continuously improved.

Jordisk ("Earthly" in Norwegian) is a start-up based in Norway that is developing a unique distribution platform for sustainable packaging to help businesses which need single-use food packaging to become environmentally friendly by embracing products which are recyclable, compostable and/or biodegradable. We are also a part of the accelerator Fauna: https://www.faunaeksperimentet.no/ There is an immediate need to replace traditional single use packaging that is normally based on fossil based plastics with more sustainable alternatives that already exist in the market. Food packaging is becoming a growing global concern, because of the large amount of waste it generates and the chemicals it contains that can be detrimental to our health. In 2014, out of the 258 million tons of municipal solid waste generated in the US, more than 63 percent was of packaging materials (for food and other purposes) and, overall, only 35 percent (89 million tons) was recycled or composted. What happens to the remaining 65 percent? We all know that landfills are frequently used and that a lot of waste is just burned which leaves a huge carbon footprint. The end of life alternative for food packaging can be significantly improved by using alternative eco-friendly materials that already exist and can be implemented in a circular model. The aim of our distribution platform is to be the natural marketplace for sellers of sustainable food packaging where they can showcase their products to potential buyers who need one time packaging. Moreover, ideal sellers would genuinely care about the environment and have a circular model in order to reduce the carbon footprint as much as possible. A typical customer would be a restaurant that offers takeaway. The food packaging industry operates in a very traditional way with one-to-one contracts and is mature enough for a disruption. With our platform, we can be the link and matchmaker between the supplier and customer. Our goal is to raise awareness in the industry and among consumers, so they can know about sustainable food packaging alternatives such as products that are made of bagasse, bamboo, mycelium, leaves, bio-laminat and plant-based plastic such as PLA. The timing is ideal, as we are currently seeing drastic changes in jurisdiction and lawmaking in Europe, single-use plastic cutlery, cotton buds, straws and stirrers will be banned by 2021 and the EU's Green Deal Strategy is to find sustainable alternatives to replace traditional fossil based plastic. We are currently doing market research in Norway in order to source and partner with producers that could be interested in our platform. The feedback we are getting so far are positive, as most new producers would like further traction in order to get much needed market share. We are actively looking for another person with the technical know-how that wants to join the team to develop this platform with us. Even though we live in an era of Instagram and Facebook where spreading awareness in a particular topic is easier than before, environmental pollution is still one of the most concerning issues in today’s world. We, as consumers, are either too busy to care about packaging, or there aren’t many sustainable options to choose from when buying a product. One of the founders, Rezowan, has a background from the travel industry, and has from many of his previous travels seen the growing amount of plastic going astray, both on land and at sea. In many Asian countries, he has seen that there are no good waste solutions that contribute to, for example, plastic being recycled in a circular way. Over the last 2-3 years, new technology has been developed that makes it easier to choose sustainable and environmentally friendly alternatives, and the main goal is to promote environmentally friendly alternatives to fossil plastics so that society can become more aware of this.

The main piece of equipment in the gym is the barbell. It is as simple in its form as it is timeless in its design. But when it comes to using the proper safety equipment that comes with the barbell, that’s when the flaws become visible. Today’s methods of securing weight plates to a barbell is done by using collars or clips, which often lead to a poor user experience, and they are often hard to put on and pull off, can easily break or slip during lifts, they are often hard to find and even disappears. The Olympic barbell has remained virtually the same for the last 93 years, and despite today’s standards, improvements can be made. In a seemingly ever-growing market, people’s expectations of safety, design, quality, and user-friendliness in products are on the rise. Gungnir of Norway is a Norwegian startup company that designs and manufactures high-quality gym equipment. The company’s first product is the Allrounder, a standard Olympic barbell with built-in collars for securing weight plates. The built-in collar system or “SlideLock” makes the lifting experience safer, faster, easier, and more reliable than the standard safety equipment in use today. Also, the SlideLock system can be applied to several other bar types like compact group training bars or loadable dumbbells. This solution has shown enormous potential in the fitness market, which we intend to continue to take advantage of. The SlideLock is the first of many solutions that we seek to create within the fitness equipment industry. We started as a company in 2018 in Oslo, Norway, with an idea for a better solution to a problem well known to many who use weightlifting equipment regularly. Gungnir’s vision is to become the new standard solution for securing weight plates worldwide. A game-changing solution to a century old problem.
