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.

Hermodex builds BikeOffice, the operating system for independent bike shops and workshops. The Nordic bike retail market is full of skilled, independent shops that run on paper, spreadsheets and a dozen disconnected supplier portals. Finding the right spare part means logging into one distributor after another, e-bike error codes and service manuals are scattered across PDFs, and workshop staff spend hours on admin instead of fixing bikes. BikeOffice brings it all into one place: product search across all major suppliers at once with live stock levels, AI-powered derailleur hanger identification from a photo (300+ models), e-bike manuals and error codes for Bosch, Yamaha, Bafang and Ananda, workshop and repair management, point of sale, pricing, automated Blocket listings synced with stock, price tag generation and customer messaging. We are built from inside the industry. Hermodex was founded by people who run a bike shop and workshop themselves, and every tool is tested daily in a live store before it reaches customers. Today BikeOffice is used by paying bike retailers in Sweden, and our goal is to become the default platform for independent bike shops across the Nordics and Europe.

CVBooster is a CV and resume builder made in Helsinki. It solves a specific problem: most people send the same generic CV to every job posting, and applicant tracking systems filter it out before a human ever reads it. The free tier is manual. You fill in your own details, pick one of the ATS-friendly templates and download the result, with no AI involved. The Pro tier ($16.99 per month or $99 per year) adds AI tailoring: you paste a job posting and CVBooster rewrites your summary and bullet points to match it, flags the keywords you are missing and keeps the layout clean so applicant tracking systems can parse it. CVBooster works in English, German, Finnish, French, Spanish and Portuguese. It ships 1,600+ role-specific resume examples and writing guides, a job feed, and an iOS app (App Store id6804955613). It is built and run by Mustafa Tarabya under DT Nova Tmi in Helsinki, founded in 2025.

Digital Ops ApS is building an autonomous AI platform that acts as a company's digital grant manager, automating the full lifecycle of public and private grant applications from identifying relevant funding opportunities to preparing and submitting applications, to project management, documentation, and reporting afterward. The problem we're solving is that grant applications today are a heavy, manual, and time-consuming process. This pulls focus away from a company's core business, which is why many businesses either outsource the work to expensive consultants or skip applying altogether, missing out on substantial funding that could support their growth. We're solving this because we believe access to funding shouldn't depend on having the time or budget for consultants; small and medium-sized enterprises deserve the same professional-grade funding management that larger companies can afford. Our platform is already in its first working version and being tested with real companies. Since our founding, we've built strong in-house expertise in software development, AI, and automation, giving us a solid foundation to scale this into a SaaS platform with international potential.

WOOF is an ambitious Danish edtech company on a mission to create better conditions for learning by improving student well-being, engagement, and classroom relationships. Founded by teachers, WOOF was created in response to a challenge experienced in classrooms everywhere: educators need simple and meaningful ways to understand how their students are doing—and practical tools that help them act on those insights. Through short, anonymous student check-ins, WOOF gives every student a voice while providing teachers and school leaders with a clear, real-time picture of classroom well-being. But WOOF is much more than a measurement tool. The platform turns insights into action through engaging activities, structured conversations, and practical resources that help teachers strengthen relationships and build positive learning environments. By making well-being visible and actionable, WOOF enables schools to address challenges early and create classrooms where students feel seen, supported, and ready to learn. Today, WOOF is used by educators and schools across several international markets, including Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and the United States. From its Copenhagen base, the company brings together education, technology, and a strong sense of purpose. WOOF is a growing, collaborative organisation where ideas move quickly, individual contributions matter, and the team shares a clear ambition: to improve everyday school life for teachers and students around the world.

Fliprworld is a personal story universe for families with kids aged 5-10. The child, their siblings, and even the family pet are always the same recurring characters, appearing in story after story, complete with text, illustrations, and narration, ready in under 2 minutes. The problem: parents want to give their kids a rich, imaginative storytime, but by evening they're out of ideas. The same three books get read again and again, or the ritual gets replaced by a screen. Tools like ChatGPT technically let you generate a story, but they hand the work back to the parent: write a good prompt, judge if it's age-appropriate, find an image, read it aloud yourself. That's not less work, it's a new kind of work. Flipr removes that work entirely. A parent (or child) types what they feel like today, a jungle adventure, a school problem turned into a story, a birthday surprise, and Flipr turns it into a complete, age-appropriate story with pictures and narration in under 2 minutes. No prompting skills required, no editing, no illustrating. What makes Fliprworld different isn't a single good story, it's the universe. The child, siblings, and pet are always the same recurring characters, whichever new adventure gets created. Each story stands on its own, there's no plot to keep track of or catch up on, but the cast is always familiar. So kids don't just get a random story, they get themselves and their family showing up, again and again, in whatever world they dream up that day. Why we're building this: the target parent isn't anti-screen, they're time-poor. They already value the ritual of story time and want their kids engaged rather than passively consuming content, but they don't have the bandwidth to be a creative director every single night. Fliprworld gives them that ritual back without the labor, and gives kids something screen-based that is genuinely productive: reading, listening, imagining, not scrolling. We see this going beyond bedtime. The same personal universe works for long car rides, waiting rooms, or a rainy Sunday afternoon, any moment where a parent needs to hand their child something engaging that also feels good to hand over. Our first market is the Nordics (Denmark, Norway, Sweden), where storytime is a deeply held ritual and parents are screen-time conscious but not screen-time averse, making them the ideal early adopters before we expand further.

normify is an engineering-documentation technology company modernizing how technical documents are checked and maintained — "docs-as-code" for engineering. Its graph-based compliance engine checks technical deliverables against the norms and project requirements they must comply with — clause by clause, with every finding cited back to its exact source, in minutes instead of days of manual review. Instead of an engineer cross-checking a document against a standard with a highlighter, normify returns every non-conformance with a traceable audit trail for QA and client review. The graph-based method — not a raw LLM wrapper — is what lets normify reach 96.1% labelled recall across 10+ standards. It is norm-agnostic (customers bring the standards and requirements their projects are bound to), portable across LLM providers, and available self-hosted so sensitive engineering data never leaves the customer's environment. normify is extending from compliance checking into version-aware change intelligence — tracking what changed between document revisions and whether it still complies. Target users: discipline leads, technical authorities, QA/QC and document-control teams at operators, EPCs, and engineering consultancies.
