Cognite has a unique starting point and great of momentum on its side. The idea behind Cognite came when I was working on a digitalization project with the industrial conglomerate AKER ASA.  In less than 15 years there will be over 50 billion physical assets and machines connected to the Internet, and over seven billion Internet consumers. The exponential growth of data resulting from the increase in Internet users, combined with machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) will challenge the status quo of across all industries. We believe that data handling will become a competitive advantage for industrial companies across a range of sectors. Unlocking its tremendous capabilities should not just be for an elite group of companies. Cognite makes this technology available to our customers. Furthermore we think that the most successful companies will create alliances to leverage the numerous and complex data sources. We aim to deliver breakthrough customer benefits facilitating productivity-related savings, improved operations, increased safety, and new revenue opportunities. Our initial focus is to aggregate and process data from industrial sensors and corresponding applications combining it with 3D-models to see how these sensors are related to the physical world. This enables our customers and partners to create advanced visualizations and machine learning applications for optimization and automation. Please contact us if you're interested in learning more.

Getia is a Norwegian venture studio that builds and invests in technology companies. Founded in 2024 and headquartered in Oslo, Getia identifies market opportunities, assembles teams, and actively develops products to capture significant market share across multiple verticals. The studio has launched 18+ products spanning privacy and compliance (GetCookies), email marketing (GetMailer), server-side tracking (GetCAPI), AI-powered customer support (GetAnswers), property management (Bellkeep), content distribution (GetFeeder), and more. Each product is designed as a focused SaaS tool that solves a specific problem better than bloated enterprise alternatives. Getia's core strength is speed and execution. With in-house expertise in product strategy, UI/UX design, full-stack development, data analytics, and go-to-market, the team can take a product from idea to paying customers in weeks rather than months. All products are built on modern tech stacks with EU-hosted infrastructure, making them a natural fit for privacy-conscious European businesses. The studio operates from Mesh, Oslo's largest coworking space, and is currently raising its Series A to accelerate growth across the portfolio. Getia is looking for investors who bring strategic value beyond capital — partners with deep domain expertise and distribution networks in the Nordics and across Europe.

TUYO is a Denmark-based specialty coffee and fine cacao project rooted in long-term relationships with coffee- and cacao-growing communities in Ecuador, and inspired by Nordic values around creativity, innovation, and sustainability. We are building a regenerative business that prioritizes transparency, fair collaboration, and high-quality products, while questioning extractive models within global value chains. Our approach is relational and place-based, centered on people, landscapes, and craft rather than scale.

Coffee is the immediate focus; fine cacao is part of the broader product vision and will be developed in parallel at a later stage. We work as a small, hands-on team with close collaborators across sourcing, quality, and production, and we value clarity, reliability, and care in how we build both products and partnerships.

Aavuus is a space-tech startup building a global network of ground-based laser stations to detect and track space debris with unmatched precision. Our mission is to ensure the safety and sustainability of Earth’s orbit by providing satellite operators, Space Situational Awareness (SSA) companies, and defense organizations with accurate, timely, and affordable debris tracking data. Space has become crowded. Over 10,000 active satellites and more than hundred million debris objects currently orbit Earth, and the number of satellites is expected to grow tenfold by 2030. Even a fragment as small as one centimeter can destroy a satellite upon impact. Yet, current tracking systems are struggling to keep pace. This gap threatens not only the safety of critical assets in orbit but also the future of the global space economy, which depends on the long-term sustainability of orbital operations.
