Based in Kongsberg - the heart of the Subsea Valley - Kongsberg Ferrotech is utilizing world-leading competence to develop the first-ever automated solution, the Oktapous, for riser cleaning, NDT inspection, maintenance (coating), and structural repair (glass/carbon fiber reinforcement). The repair will be performed inside the patented Habitat - allowing for composite repairs subsea and in the splash zone while offering quality as if the repair was performed in a laboratory environment. The Oktapous will offer the client around 50% cost reduction, together with improved quality and significantly reduced HSE risk compare to existing solutions by removing the need for rope access, divers, and ROVs. Kongsberg Ferrotech is partly funded by the Malaysian-based oil and gas company, Petronas Charigali. This ensures us access to the market needs during development, an offshore platform for prototype testing, and the critical first client for market acceptance. Schedule highlights: • Development started in September 2015 • Stack-up/dry test in December 2017 • TRL4 testing submerged in February 2018 • Offshore testing on Petronas assets in Q3 2018 • Commercial operations in Q2-3 2019

Connecting Grounds is a food start-up based in Aarhus that up-cycles spent coffee grounds (a.k.a. coffee waste) into a food ingredient for B2B snack and confectionary companies and restaurants. Why do we do it? 1. Environment Spent coffee grounds are often treated as waste. Think about how many cups of coffee you or the people around you drink per day. All the coffee waste from drinking coffee adds to the Greenhouse Gas Emissions. 2. Nutritional Value When we brew our cup of coffee, we are only taking advantage of 1% of coffee's nutrients. 99% of these nutrients stay in the spent coffee grounds. These nutrients include caffeine, dietary fibre, proteins and valuable minerals. What we do is change the narrative behind hidden food waste by starting with coffee by-products. By up-cycling such a product, we evert emissions, take advantage of our resources and raise awareness on the importance of up-cycling. Rethinking food is what we do, and we will not stop with coffee by-products. We will continue to search for resources/ingredients that have the potential of being reintroduced in the food stream, again.

Tweaking nature and provoking confidence since 2017.

KvadratPeter er en digital robot. Han er udviklet til hver eneste dag at indsamle informationer om boligmarkedet, indsamle data fra boligannoncer og matche denne data med de søgeprofiler, som kan oprettes på KvadratPeter-appen. KvadratPeters matching-algoritme er langt mere avanceret sammenlignet med traditionelle boligagenter, som du måske kender fra diverse boligsider. Boligfundene er nemlig ikke bare en liste med resultater baseret på statisk boligdata, men indeholder også ekstra lag som muligheder fra ombygning, transport-tid til f.eks. job og uddannelse samt intelligente forslag kompromiser til både boligforhold, økonomi og beliggenhed. Alle boligfund bliver vurderet og får karakterer af KvadratPeter. Det betyder, at når brugeren modtager et boligfund, så kan KvadratPeter have vurderet f.eks. boligens beliggenhed til en karakter på 7/10, i forhold til brugerens søgeprofil. Brugeren kan også give sin egen karakter på de forskellige karaktertræk og denne feedback vil hjælpe med at gøre KvadratPeter klogere på hvad lige netop denne bruger søger.

Byggnader formar våra liv. Med byggnader som förbrukar 40% av total energi och producerar 25% av växthusgasutsläppen är denna transformation existentiell. Europa står inför en aldrig tidigare skådad utmaning: renovera 35 miljoner byggnader fram till 2030 för att bekämpa klimatförändringar och energifattigdom. Dock skulle traditionella metoder som kräver expertbesök för varje byggnad ta 40 år bara för planeringsfasen - vilket i praktiken innebär att det inte finns någon genomförbar plan alls för en av de mest samhällskritiska utmaningar av vår tid. Zerotude har utvecklat en banbrytande mjukvara som revolutionerar hur fastighetsbolag angriper energirenoveringar i stor skala. Kärnprodukten genererar omfattande, skräddarsydda renoveringsplaner omedelbart från inget annat än en byggnads adress. Med hjälp av avancerade algoritmer baserade på forskning från LTH (Lunds universitet) analyserar mjukvaran byggnader genom kartdata, AI och energideklarationer för att identifiera de mest kostnadseffektiva renoveringsåtgärderna för att minska energiförbrukning och klimatpåverkan. Zerotudes mjukvara kringgår flaskhalsen. Istället för att kräva fysiska inspektioner skapar den korrekta renoveringsplaner digitalt, och identifierar exakt vilka renoveringar (tak, fönster, väggar, etc.) som kommer vara mest effektiva för varje specifik byggnad. Detta gör det möjligt för planerare att kartlägga renoveringsstrategier för hela städer, län och länder. Sedan lanseringen i augusti har Zerotude snabbt skalat upp till att analysera 5 000 byggnader som representerar 2% av alla svenska lägenheter. Med 8 fler företag som ansluter sig i oktober och aggressiva expansionsplaner siktar de på 20% av svenska lägenheter innan årets slut. Företaget har säkrat tre stora fastighetskunder, erhållit finansiering från Energimyndigheten och investerare inklusive Saminvest, och är positionerat för att skapa Sveriges första omfattande nationella renoveringsplan - direkt stödjande kommande lagstiftning kring implementationen av energiprestandadirektivet. Detta representerar en förskjutning från manuella, byggnad-för-byggnad-bedömningar till automatiserad, rikstäckande renoveringsintelligens.
