StarCruiter International AS (Ltd.)

THE URGENT ISSUE IN TODAY'S JOB MARKET IN THE NORDIC COUNTRIES: ✪ Traditional recruitment prioritizes CV algorithms and keywords over human potential, by an astonishing 90%. When ATS/AI control who gets seen, we lose the most important factor: the human behind the CV. This creates not just unemployment, but social exclusion - when people can't find work, they lose connection to society and experience profound isolation. ✪ Todays recruitment methods are narrowly fixated purely on qualifications and historical experience, relying heavily on algorithms to sift through CVs. This approach overlooks the unique talents and motivations of individuals, drivingforces, personality and thus missing out on valuable opportunities for growth and success. ✪ THE RESULT: People are often using ChatGPT or Copilot to write their applications + HR are using AI to read them = nobody is getting hired. ✪ Sweden struggles with high youth unemployment and urban-rural divides. Refugee integration remains uneven, and platform work is eroding traditional protections. Union influence is waning, especially in tech and service sectors. ✪ Denmark’s famed flexicurity model is under pressure. Women are overrepresented in part-time roles, and older workers exit early. Gig work is expanding faster than regulation, challenging collective bargaining norms. ✪ Finland faces persistent long-term unemployment and mental health-related exclusion. Industrial restructuring is shifting jobs to tech hubs, leaving peripheral regions behind. Labor mobility remains low despite retraining efforts. In conclusion; the Nordic countries face mounting labor market exclusion despite strong welfare models. Norway leads with 700,000 adults outside the labor force, driven by regional stagnation, immigrant underemployment, and early retirement. The green and digital transitions are creating jobs—but not where displaced workers live. THE PERFECT STORM FOR US! TURNING THE RECRUITMENT MARKET UPSIDE-DOWN «From employer initiated to 100% talent focused.» Our Solution: Talentity.ai = AI meets empathy! Nordic's first community for job seekers, where talent takes center stage. Meeting the talents, rather than relying on historical data on a piece of paper. Creating an empathic AI, that combines human expertise with technology, supporting decision making and not taking over the entire process.

Firtal Tech

Firtal Tech is a part of Firtal Group, owned by Matas A/S. Our primary product is SELVEO, an e-commerce logistics management SaaS, hyperfocused and -optimized towards modern e-commerce businesses. SELVEO was born from a need from our sister company, Firtal Web, to fulfill orders, manage stock and do purchasing in a highly efficient manner. SELVEO is currently in closed beta and is used by multiple e-commerce businesses - big and small. The ambition is to become "Shopify for e-commerce logistics." The platform is so simple that it's easy to use even with 20-30 orders a day and up to 5.000 orders and beyond (our current customers represent all parts of that range). On the technical side, SELVEO is built API-first and made up of several microservices written in multiple languages (Go, NodeJS, Rust, PHP), depending on which language best suits the service.

Cloudhuset A/S

Our mission is to help companies in the Nordic region use technology to create profitable customer relationships. We work within the themes customer service, support and customer experience (CX) and our solutions are usually based on the CX platform Zendesk which we are experts in.

We help our customers put everything they need in a single location so that communication with their customers is efficient, relevant, and personal. We offer simple, yet powerful solutions that make it easy for our customers to engage with their customers — where and when it’s right for them.

This translates into highly profitable and impactful results for our customers and our strategic collaboration with best-in-class technology vendors means that we can proudly offer our customers the best solutions as well as very high ROI.

Tekslo Seafood

Where The Atlantic Ocean meets the Northern Sea, and along the coast of Norway, lies an under-used and fairly unknown natural resource. Our forefathers sustained themselves from the ocean for thousands of years, and for them seaweed was a vital source of vitamins and minerals. All of us that started Tekslo were raised by the ocean, and together we share a dream of creating a more sustainable Earth and reverse the trends on food and health – as we introduce seaweed to the world. Our harvesting areas are located in the sea close to Tekslo lighthouse, west of the island Tofterøy on Sotra. With its perfect currents, clean, clear and high-nutrient water, no fish farming or other pollutants, it is an optimal site for finding high quality seaweed! We harvest wild seaweed by hand from reefs, rocks and islets close to the coast. This allows us to only and carefully collect the best quality. We then dry the seaweed in our custom-designed room, which is built inside a traditional boathouse.

Leftovers

Leftovers (leftovers.food) is a marketplace for affordable, home-cooked meals made by talented local cooks and sold to students and young professionals. Problem: In cities like Copenhagen, there is a clear gap between expensive takeaway / delivery (often over 150-200 DKK per meal), and cheap supermarket food, which requires time, planning, and cooking skills many people don’t have. For international students, young professionals, and time-poor households, the result is: 1) Overpaying for mediocre takeaway, 2) Eating repetitive, low-quality convenience food, 3) Food waste from over-purchasing groceries, and 4) A lack of affordable, authentic, home-style meals. At the same time, there is untapped supply: 1) Skilled home cooks with excess capacity, 2) Parents cooking large family meals, 3) Culturally diverse residents who want to share traditional cuisine, and 4) People looking for flexible side income. Solution: Leftovers connects people who love to cook with people who want affordable, authentic, home-cooked meals. Through the digital platform, customers can: 1) Browse daily meals from local cooks, 2) Order affordable portions (e.g. 60–90 DKK), and 3) Pick up locally or access coordinated delivery. Cooks can: 1) Monetise excess capacity, 2) Generate flexible income, and 3) Build micro-brands around their cuisine. Leftovers sits between informal food-sharing and expensive food delivery platforms - creating a structured, trusted, and potentially scalable marketplace. Importantly, a favourable regulatory environment in Denmark allows small-scale food sales from home kitchens under certain conditions, lowering barriers to entry. Why Now? 1) Cost-of-living pressure makes affordable meals more attractive than ever, 2) Platform trust (ratings, payments, verification) makes peer-to-peer food viable at scale, 3) Cultural diversity in cities like Copenhagen increases demand for authentic cuisine, 4) Regulatory tailwinds in Denmark lower entry barriers relative to many other countries, 5) Consumers are increasingly open to non-traditional food distribution models, and 6) Values of trust, community, sharing and sustainability in Denmark are key enablers. Founder: Leftovers is rooted in lived experience. I identified the problem firsthand while living in a Copenhagen student dorm, and validated demand through surveys across students, young professionals, and families. I understand scalable marketplace economics from your finance background. I have hospitality connections (chefs, food influencers) and access to capital networks. And finally, I understand how to position this as more than a food app - but as an authentic, community-driven, scalable, city-by-city platform model. How? The app is live (https://apps.apple.com/au/app/leftovers/id6748817523) and a kickstarter program is imminent to launch (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/leftovers/leftovers-pilot-edition-a-community-food-sharing-experiment) in collaboration with CBS student housing to further validate the concept. The near-term plan is to build awareness and trust in order to drive user adoption. A targeted marketing campaign (incentives, content and events) and funding efforts are underway. I am looking to offer a co-founder equity that is passionate about the concept to help drive community-building and marketing efforts. Leftovers is not just about cheap meals, it’s about unlocking under-utilised kitchen capacity, creating income opportunities and empowering home cooks, reducing food waste, building local food communities. Long-term, it becomes the Airbnb of home-cooked food - starting in Denmark, then expanding city-by-city across Scandinavia and Europe. *We are on a mission to empower home cooks to provide a more affordable, authentic and sustainable alternative to delivery, while building community*

Chargo

Chargo er en «bysykkelløsning for powerbanks». Tjenesten lanseres i Oslo i samarbeid med Telenor og baserer seg på utleiebare powerbanks, slik at kunder kan lade mobiltelefoner på farten. Systemet fungerer likt bysykler, hvor kunden kan leie en powerbank fra et nettverk av ladestasjoner via vår app. Ladestasjonene vil bli plassert i kiosker, barer, cafeer, restauranter, museer, osv. Vårt mål er at en Chargo stasjon alltid skal være i nærheten, og håper at folk vil ta i bruk tjenesten på lik linje med Voi og Lime. Å bidra til utformingen av det visuelle ved tjenesten kan derfor være et godt bidrag til en personlig portofolio!
