Intellimeal

Swedish public meal services are regulated by law. We have identified a great conflict in combining a heavy compliance service with a great craftsmanship. The result is a situation where our children do not eat enough or not at all in school. This means an increased risk for long-term health and not the least concentration and energy throughout the day. School and canteen personnel struggle to live up to compliance in nutrition restrictions and other regulatory requirements. Climate KPI's such as food waste, budget constraints and at the same time ensuring that the children eat a nourishing and tasty meal is challenging and a balancing act which requires experience and tools with sophisticated data to support their work. We have identified three major areas for improvement; 1) Lack of a structured recurring way of collecting feedback from the public meal guests (children, school personnel), 2) There is only one player on the Swedish market offering an IT tool for planning and follow up the meal process. This is a monopoly situation and a huge risk of being irresponsible with tax money, not meeting the needs. The existing tools offered have a high focus on compliance and reporting and less on the guests and the taste and positive experience the meal should give. 3) The increasing alarms of children not eating in school and not getting satiated due to not enough nourishing meals. This is both a risk for the health of next generation and an unfair situation where the children should be served an equal meal wherever you live. We have several main target users. The main customer is the school management and the municipalities. As meal planning is a core process involving many stakeholders, all contributing to fundamental steps in the process, we also see important values to each of these user groups; dietitians, diet economists, meal planners, school chefs, teachers, students and caregivers. All user groups have been involved in our analysis. The function that got the most attention was the feedback function involving the guests. That is unique and there is no such service available in existing tools. It is also requested as the schools need to comply with the authority requirements of collecting feedback throughout the year as part of their meal policy. As we are planning to release our meal planning ecosystem over time, we have during the fall of 2021 carried out a proof of concept among 150 pupils and teachers focusing on one of the main problems - continuous feedback from guests - in a project called skollunch.se. The result proved our concept and the feedback of our test came out very positive from the target groups. We want to offer an intelligent solution for meal planning that proactively suggests a tasty meal based on budget, sustainability, nutrition and rating. With artificial intelligence, business intelligence and interactive functionality, the users will be guided in the meal planning process with engaging and simple interfaces. The core of Intellimeal is situation-based recommendations heavily relying on data locally and globally creating automated meal planning whenever needed and requested. Intellimeal contributes to reducing food waste and at the same time improving knowledge and understanding of sustainable patterns of consumption. We want to contribute to educating the next generation in nutritious food choices to prevent life-style related diseases. We want to work proactively and support the school lunch system with automated and simplified meal planning that result in a more equal and fair meal experience nation-wide, regardless of what the municipalities spend in school lunch budgets and chef experience. This is our contribution to a more sustainable world and to meet the goals of Agenda 2030.

Trade Technology ApS

We are behind af number of established transparent and sustainable online trading platforms. Both establishment and the further development of the platforms are based on many years of experience in the business, as well as on dialog between professionals. Let’s go back in time It all started at the cutting edge of international retail trade of FMCG products. Thousands of containers of tuna, sweet corn, coffee, pasta and numerous other products being competitively traded worldwide for decades. Hard core business capabilities formed the foundation of our company. This unique competence met the need for digitalization and the best available online e-commerce tech skill was added to the equation. Boasting a technology enabled online trading platform that was scalable and offered new and alternative routes to market for hundreds of suppliers to the retail industry was a logical next step. With increasing signs of worrying effects of climate change the global sustainability agenda, supported by the UN Sustainable Development Goals, forced us to look even closer at our own contribution towards a sustainable future. Today, our strategic journey and development efforts are steered towards finding new ways to fill the gaps in the global production and supply chains. With our business acumen, our platform technology skills and competences within sustainable e-biz thinking we intend to find new ways to redistribute, reuse, repurpose, recommission and reconfigure some of the vast resources that are wasted every year. In order to find a new use for them elsewhere.

Zeabuz

Zeabuz is a spin-off from the leading research community on autonomous vessels at NTNU in Trondheim. Our autonomy technology is field-proven for shortcuts across urban waterways, and we are now searching for long-term investors while preparing for market launch. Water used to be the main infrastructure for most cities in the world. While roads are filling up everywhere, much of the urban waters are have become highly underutilized. At Zeabuz we want to reverse this trend by introducing a technology platform that makes local waterborne transport an economically viable and sustainable option. Our mobility system, which comprises a combination of a network of small vessels, electric drive, and autonomous operation, is a truly scalable solution fit for many of the world’s urban areas. Enabling increased flow by utilizing available waterways will allow more people to travel by foot and bike and hence will reduce the need for road traffic and in the end reduce emissions of climate gasses. Another perspective is that dynamic utilization of waterways will reduce the need for new inflexible infrastructures such as roads and bridges, which saves both money, emissions from concrete production, and local footprint. The Zeabuz urban mobility system will be a compelling and attractive mobility solution for cities globally. Rough estimates have shown that there is a market for approx. 4000 Zeabuz-like ferries in the EU alone. Zeabuz aims to take a major share of this emerging market. The company is founded on the idea that passenger transport across urban waters is a highly suitable starting point for commercializing autonomous mobility. In this segment, risks are mitigated by low speeds and high physical margins which also allow us to focus on solving only a few problems at a time while still earning positive returns from the start. As the Zeabuz technology platform matures in this first segment, we will explore its scaling potential across several dimensions. This means we could branch out and adapt to new opportunities and market demand based on our solid foundation in autonomy, assurance, and mobility solutions. Our autonomy platform can be utilized to deliver Autonomy-as-a-Service which enables entries into new markets, new use cases, and an expansion to more complex operational domains. Zeabuz is now preparing for launching a commercial pilot in a Scandinavian city in 2022. Much of the financial structure required is already in place and will be triggered by the entry of a Lead Investor

Cognity

We offer a system that makes unbiased and explainable decisions based on previously verified cases. The design is centered around human-interpretable knowledge, resulting in a system that is transparent to its core. We believe that useful AI must be explainable. Our system gives exact explanations for its decisions. The explanation is detailed, easily understood by non-technical business end-users, and can be used to document the decision. The system learns as it processes new cases, building a knowledge base. This knowledge base is human-readable and can be used to analyse the knowledge assets of an organisation. Knowledge becomes tangible and quantifiable. Unlike machine learning, our system gives users control over the decision process. Users can decide exactly how the knowledge base is built and what knowledge is included in the decision making. Therefore, biased decision can be easily detected and avoided.

Reuse4Change

"Reuse 4 Change" is a B2B and B2C business that through a marketplace (something similar to DBA but for business) aims to connect resources/goods that are not needed anymore for some people or companies with others who need/are interested on buying them. Imagine a restaurant or a hotel that is closing/re designing and wants to sell or get rid of the furniture, and at the same time an entrepreneur who is opening a food truck and needs to buy affordable tables and chairs. Briefly speaking, the problem we aim to solve is that due to the high consumption rates nowadays many resources are becoming waste. Nonetheless, there is no need to dispose them as they can be reuse by others so in the end Reuse4Change will be the connection between supply and demand of these resources.
