Young Sustainable Impact (YSI) was started in 2016 by a group of youth in Norway who saw the cop21, Paris conference and looked ahead.We believe innovation and entrepreneurship can solve most of our challenges in the world, that youth are the driving force, and in collaboration with the experienced and established – it can be done. Innovation program: We aim to find the best talents in the world, to create impact startups to tackle the UN Sustainable Development Goals.  In Oslo we are a group of very different people, who somehow ended up together, with the same mission. We have fun, excited people who are trying their best to help people and at the same time grow into becoming that person who can influence the world in a positive direction. It's about the main goal, and not being recognized yourself - which is why any disagreement we have, turns out in a positive energy. The power of trying to get YSI to do the most good, is vital! We have found a great spot in Greenhouse, with a gaming room, ping pong, garden on the roof, (A ROOF), and other cool companies from all fields imaginable.At the same time, we work with teams in Bangladesh, South-East Asia, and China. Extremely different cultures, who also have the same goal as us. This is both hard and exciting at the same time.

Clevertrack was founded with one clear ambition: to help businesses eliminate waste, reduce emissions, and make smarter operational decisions through connected machine and vehicle data. Every day, construction equipment, commercial vehicles, and industrial assets consume millions of liters of fuel while generating vast amounts of operational data. Yet much of that data remains fragmented and locked across manufacturers, systems, and spreadsheets - making it difficult, if not impossible, for businesses to gain the operational overview needed to take action. In just a few years, we've grown into a fast-moving technology company with one mission: making the world's fleets and heavy equipment more intelligent, efficient, and sustainable. Our team brings together expertise in software engineering, IoT, telematics, data analytics, and fleet operations - all driven by passion for solving real-world challenges. Our platform breaks down one of the industry's biggest barriers: fragmented data. Clevertrack collects real-time engine data, fuel consumption, location, and operational data across virtually every vehicle and equipment brand, bringing everything together in one unified platform. Instead of switching between manufacturer portals and disconnected systems, our customers gain one complete view of their entire fleet - turning complex data into actionable insights that reduce costs, improve utilization, prevent downtime, and accelerate sustainability initiatives. We're passionate about solving real-world challenges with technology and building products that make a measurable difference for our customers every single day. If you're excited about building scalable software, working with cutting-edge IoT technology, and helping shape the future of connected fleets, we'd love to have you on the journey.
