A growing number of natural disasters led to a 2000% increase in climate insurance claims since the 1970s, reaching $630b worldwide in the 2010s.

Thanks to high-resolution satellite images, our map-based AI models, and optimization algorithms predict how 50+ climate-positive prevention measures can be implemented to reduce risk.

1: Short description (the pitch) Phinder is developing a software solution to help companies to gain control of their data and comply with GDPR with a unique combination of intelligence technologies. 2: The What: What are you solving + more in depth details “Unstrucutred personal data is one of the largest barriers for achieving GDPR compliance” (Partner, large danish law firm). To achieve GDPR compliance an organisation must have a complete overview of and control of the personal data which they control. This is often done in an ineffective manner with manual processes. Unstructured personal data is often generated ad-hoc and stored randomly across a wide variety of IT systems. Very often this creates large amounts of non-compliant personal data and hinder organisations responding to access and delete request and achieving a GDPR compliance. 3: The How: Describe how your startup is solving this Phinder Compliance Center is “plug and play” and supports images, text documents, videos and e-mails. We aim to provide the customer with a simple result which quickly give them an overview and clear understanding of how to improve their compliance level. The software solution leverages a unique combination of artificial intelligence technologies such as facial recognition, face detection, OCR, NLP and propriety algorithms to identify personal data in images, videos, text documents and e-mails across wide variety of data sources, such as OneDrive, Google Drive, Teams, Exchange and SharePoint. 4: The Why: What motivated you to get started Let us know what fired your spark. How did you become aware of the problem you're working to solve? What motivated you to quit your day job to focus on your entrepreneurial ambitions? In essence, why are you doing this? “Automated data compliance, keeping privacy private” is a mantra which drives Phinder. We want to leverage innovative and technical solution to enhance privacy for the individual. We believe that the way to achieve it, is to help organisations reduce costs and increase efficiency for their compliance processes, and becoming more transparent for their employees, customers and the world the operate within.

Pinovo AS is a Norwegian scale up that has developed, patented, proven and commercialised surface maintenance technology that stops Ocean Paint Microplastic emissions. Ocean Paint Microplastic emissions are a large but little known problem that we estimate could be generating between 1.5m and 2.25m tonnes of ocean pollution each year (https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/09/how-to-reduce-microplastics-from-paint/). Pinovo has developed a clean, circular dustless grit blasting solution, which stops these emissions and which is also up to 60% more cost efficient than the traditional methods of surface maintenance for spot blasting.

Maka is a designer of premium quality bags, clothing, boards, and apparel for skaters currently launching worldwide with our first two products; water-resistant skateboard bags in two unique designs that make transporting your board 100x easier. Who is behind Maka? Maka is driven by a dedicated team in Medellín, Colombia. Maka is the brainchild of two skaters; Diego Pineda (CEO) and Jorge Calle (Lead Designer). Diego was born in Colombia but fled to Arizona, USA, with his family in 1999 due to violence. He picked up skating immediately and would go on to work for skate shops and tour the country with a team. He returned in 2008 to study International Business, although he never put down his board, certain that he would find a way to make a living out of skating. Jorge was born in raised in a small ghetto in Medellín, Colombia. While many of his friends found their way into drugs and violence, Jorge found his way forward in life either on top of a skateboard or behind a sewing machine. His true passion is to create without limits, to try, to fail, and to try again until he’s created the best there possibly could be. So Diego, why did you start Maka? I live a pretty simple life philosophy; I do what I enjoy doing. However, like everyone (especially skaters), it can be hard to do what you really enjoy and pay the bills. I’ve always looked up to the skate culture for inspiration ever since I started to understand it – the style, the clothes, the street, the attitude to be against the norm of society… It’s a close-knit community, although it’s an individual activity. You don’t need a team to be able to skate. It’s a way of self-expression, and that, for me, is the starting point of it all. What is the ambition of Maka? There are not many cultures that truly accept everyone. Skateboarding does. White, black, green, yellow, purple, tall, short, weird, funny, cool – everyone is accepted because it’s about your individuality. For the majority of my life, most of the people I’ve met come from skateboarding. It all comes down to having fun. Learning, falling, and getting back up. So, why does all of this relate to ambition? Because, while we’re taking the brand worldwide, we also want to seize the opportunity to support more kids with what skating has given us; a way to express ourselves, a sense of purpose, and life-long friends. Skating made our lives what they are, and now it’s time to give back. 10% of all profits go towards supporting social causes here in the city of Medellín. To follow us on our mission, we invite you to follow our social media to help more children find paths away from the drugs and violence that are still present in this city.

Parallelo er et teknologiselskap som hjelper arkitekter og utbyggere å designe bedre boliger – raskere. Boligbransjen er blant de minst digitaliserte næringene i verden. Hvert bygg tegnes fra grunnen av, og avgjørende beslutninger om leilighetsmiks, markedspotensial og bærekraft tas ofte uten reelle data. Parallelo endrer dette. Gjennom avanserte algoritmer genererer og optimaliserer Parallelo komplette leilighetsplaner på sekunder. Plattformen lar arkitekter og utviklere jobbe tettere sammen, utforske flere alternativer - og har dokumentert å gi prosjekter bedre arealutnyttelse, lavere CO₂-avtrykk og typisk 10 - 15 % høyere prosjektverdi. Vi jobber tett sammen med Coera, Nordens raskest voksende arkitektkontor, for å utvikle og teste løsninger i reelle prosjekter. Som utvikler i Parallelo får du jobbe side om side med arkitekter, designere og planleggere – med kort vei fra kode til faktisk verdi. I Parallelo tror vi på More Room to Play – en kultur med frihet, tillit og høyt tempo. Du får frihet til å utforske nye ideer, jobbe fra hvor du vil, og være med på å forme hvordan fremtidens boliger og byer blir til.

People first. It's good business. There are countless obstacles in any leadership situation when driving a happy, motivated team that also has to perform their best not to mention to improve every day. Many leaders today got their role through seniority because they worked their way up, which is excellent. Still, great leadership skills don't appear with many years of experience in a certain position. Leadership skills have to be learned and always developed, as a leader has the most significant responsibility of all, the people. That is not an easy task and as organizations develop into more remote work and diverse teams the challenge has never been bigger. We have commissioned each other to settle for mediocre leadership because leaders are too busy with other assignments than checking in on the people. But this needs to change, and all change is difficult. Changing leaders' mindset to put people first, will create happier team members who are less likely to quit, which will leave everyone more motivated to do their tasks. Motivated team members deliver better results, and that is good business. It's not a cliche it's a fact. We have built an easy-to-use tool that supports leaders in creating and upholding a feedback culture, where leaders improve and develop through honest feedback from their team members. We help leaders identify and take action on team challenges ensuring happy and motivated teams with the best conditions to perform. If people are given the right conditions to succeed, they will.
