Puro.earth

Puro.earth is the world's leading carbon crediting platform for engineered carbon removal. Our mission is to mobilize the economy to reward carbon net-negative emissions by helping voluntary corporate buyers accelerate carbon dioxide removal (CDR) at an industrial global scale.

We then certify suppliers that run those processes and issue digital, tradable CO2 Removal Certificates (CORCs) into the public Puro Registry, per metric ton of carbon dioxide removed. CORCs are purchased directly from suppliers or via sales channel partners by ambitious corporations like Microsoft, Shopify, and Zurich Insurance, to help reverse climate change and neutralize their residual carbon emissions. If youโ€™re committed to tackling the climate crisis, join our growing team to mobilize the carbon net-negative economy.

StarCruiter International AS (Ltd.)

THE URGENT ISSUE IN TODAY'S JOB MARKET IN THE NORDIC COUNTRIES: โœช Traditional recruitment prioritizes CV algorithms and keywords over human potential, by an astonishing 90%. When ATS/AI control who gets seen, we lose the most important factor: the human behind the CV. This creates not just unemployment, but social exclusion - when people can't find work, they lose connection to society and experience profound isolation. โœช Todays recruitment methods are narrowly fixated purely on qualifications and historical experience, relying heavily on algorithms to sift through CVs. This approach overlooks the unique talents and motivations of individuals, drivingforces, personality and thus missing out on valuable opportunities for growth and success. โœช THE RESULT: People are often using ChatGPT or Copilot to write their applications + HR are using AI to read them = nobody is getting hired. โœช Sweden struggles with high youth unemployment and urban-rural divides. Refugee integration remains uneven, and platform work is eroding traditional protections. Union influence is waning, especially in tech and service sectors. โœช Denmarkโ€™s famed flexicurity model is under pressure. Women are overrepresented in part-time roles, and older workers exit early. Gig work is expanding faster than regulation, challenging collective bargaining norms. โœช Finland faces persistent long-term unemployment and mental health-related exclusion. Industrial restructuring is shifting jobs to tech hubs, leaving peripheral regions behind. Labor mobility remains low despite retraining efforts. In conclusion; the Nordic countries face mounting labor market exclusion despite strong welfare models. Norway leads with 700,000 adults outside the labor force, driven by regional stagnation, immigrant underemployment, and early retirement. The green and digital transitions are creating jobsโ€”but not where displaced workers live. THE PERFECT STORM FOR US! TURNING THE RECRUITMENT MARKET UPSIDE-DOWN ยซFrom employer initiated to 100% talent focused.ยป Our Solution: Talentity.ai = AI meets empathy! Nordic's first community for job seekers, where talent takes center stage. Meeting the talents, rather than relying on historical data on a piece of paper. Creating an empathic AI, that combines human expertise with technology, supporting decision making and not taking over the entire process.

Monto

Monto is developing a cutting-edge rental platform to help individuals and businesses rent items, making access to resources easy and sustainable with a user-friendly platform. We are tackling the issue of underutilized resources and overconsumption. This problem affects both individuals and businesses, leading to unnecessary waste and environmental impact. Many items are only used sporadically, resulting in a significant carbon footprint. This problem is widespread across various industries and communities. Monto offers a digital marketplace where private users and businesses can list and rent out their gear and equipment. By providing a platform that streamlines communication, transactions, and rental processes, Monto empowers people to rent what they need instead of buying, reducing waste and encouraging a more sustainable lifestyle. Our user-friendly platform ensures a seamless rental experience for everyone involved. The idea for Monto originated from witnessing the growing issue of overconsumption and its environmental impact. We realized that the sharing economy could play a crucial role in addressing this problem. The desire to make a positive impact on the planet and promote sustainable practices fueled our determination to build Monto. We quit our day jobs to focus on this entrepreneurial journey because we believe that facilitating the sharing of resources can lead to a greener and more efficient world, benefitting both individuals and the environment.
