MiniMeis is a new Norwegian-made, patented product that gives your child the best view from your shoulders. It is ergonomically designed and collapsible. You carry the child in a comfortable and ergonomically correct way as the weight of the child is placed on top of your shoulders, distributing the weight evenly through your body. Unlike traditional carrying devices where you carry the child on your back, pulling you back.This enables you to stand longer and walk longer without being tired, compared to just carrying the child on your shoulders or in a traditional carrying device.  ONE product that follows your child for many years. From 6 months your child sits firmly on your shoulders, strapped in with a 5 point seat belt.. Safe and sound! As the child grows there is no need to use the seat belts, and you change the seat cover to one without traps. The safety aspect is then through fastening the child with the leg straps.

Our most important events are meetups, during which people get to know each other, share ideas, get feedback and help and hear talks from international speakers.

Arctic Arms is a Swedish defence-tech startup building the next generation of realistic force-on-force training systems for military, law-enforcement and security organisations. Today, many training systems rely on lasers, static targets or expensive marking ammunition. These solutions often fail to reproduce the physical consequences, stress, movement and decision-making of a real armed confrontation. As a result, organisations may train tactics and behaviours that do not fully transfer to real-world operations. We are developing an integrated system consisting of a modular projectile-based training weapon platform, a patented training projectile and TRACE — our portable data and analytics platform for real-time tracking, hit detection, sensor fusion and after-action review. Our goal is to make high-realism training safer, more measurable, more mobile and more cost-efficient. TRACE enables organisations to understand not only who was hit, but why, where and when tactical failures occurred — and to measure improvement over time across teams, scenarios and critical locations. Our mission is simple: Train real. Perform anywhere.

We connect travelers with locals who guide, plan, and assist with every step of your journey. TLAMA is developing a two-sided travel marketplace to help independent travelers solve the problem of generic, AI-generated trip planning with real human expertise instead. Verified local guides — "lamas" — plan each trip upfront with mapped locations tailored to the traveler, then stay reachable via WhatsApp throughout the journey to answer questions, adjust plans, and share local knowledge no algorithm has. Lamas sell their availability and expertise, not billable hours, and keep 90% of every booking, with 9% funding platform operations and 1% going to 1% for the Planet — turning travel into a source of income for locals and a source of genuine connection for travelers.

We're builders who love teaching what we do. Vibelabs helps everyone become builders, teaching people with no coding experience how to build software and tools with AI. Nearly 1,000 people have gone through our programs, including teams from Telenor, OBOS, Mesta, and other leading Norwegian organizations. We partner with StartupLab to bring AI skills to corporate innovators and early-stage founders. But we don't just teach, we build. We launch our own ventures, and help founders, operators, and small teams turn ideas into real, scalable products. Combining AI-native workflows, rapid prototyping, and modern product thinking, we move fast without cutting corners. From early MVPs to production-ready platforms, we focus on execution, clarity, and momentum. The barrier to building software just dropped to near zero. Companies that get this will move faster. People who get this will have a massive edge. We're here to make sure as many as possible get there, practically, not theoretically.

Velocity Insights is building a new class of analytical production systems that generate decision intelligence from a fully traceable evidence base. Most commonly used GenAI approaches generate narratives first and attempt to justify them during the text generation process — often resulting in outputs that are incomplete, difficult to verify, and not fully traceable to underlying evidence. Velocity Insights takes a different approach, structuring the evidence first and deriving every insight from it. This enables organizations to produce analytical outputs that are fully traceable, inspectable, and auditable — transforming how conclusions are validated in high-stakes decision environments. Designed for capital allocation and strategic decision-making, Velocity Insights enables enterprises across finance, life sciences, and technology to generate high-speed decision intelligence without sacrificing traceability or control. By combining data structuring, workflow design, and AI, the system establishes a new standard: analytical outputs that are fully verifiable, transparent, and trusted.

Dimmi is an early-stage Danish legaltech SaaS start-up revolutionising how European companies navigate the complexities of immigration law across the European Union. Companies across Europe are increasingly in need of international labour and talent. Yet navigating immigration law and obtaining work permits is highly challenging and costly for companies of all sizes. Combining unique research and legal insight into migration law and global mobility with augmented retrieval technology, Dimmi is building the first-ever digital infrastructure for end-to-end case handling of international hires, making legal immigration compliance fast, easy, and cost-predictable. From guiding users through the most viable visa track, deadlines, and documentation requirements, Dimmi empowers companies to file compliant applications to the authorities faster, cheaper and with higher rates of compliance. Dimmi is a spin-out company pioneered by a research project conducted by research conducted at the University of Copenhagen, Center of Excellence for Global Mobility Law by Dr Christian Prener with aim of resolving the major legal and financial bottlenecks that European companies face when hiring candidates from outside of the EU. The project is funded by Lighthouse, University of Copenhagen’s innovation centre and currently based at the University of Copenhagen. We are in search of a co-founding CTO to lead the development of the technical platform in collaboration with the Alexandra Institute. Both junior and senior product architects and software developers are encouraged to reach out to hear more.
