Mindbuddy

Short Description: Mindbuddy is developing an AI-powered mental training app to help young athletes build confidence, focus, and resilience by combining sports psychology with accessible, easy-to-use tools designed for their daily routines. The What: Mental training is often inaccessible to young athletes due to stigma, cost, or limited resources at clubs. This leaves players struggling with performance anxiety, self-doubt, and inconsistent focus - issues that directly impact their performance and well-being. Despite its importance, mental training remains underutilized, especially in grassroots and academy-level sports. With over 50% of players reporting struggles with confidence and performance pressure, this is a problem that affects millions of young athletes worldwide. The How: Mindbuddy bridges the gap between mental training and accessibility by delivering tailored sports psychology tools directly to players’ phones. Using AI, the app helps players set SMART goals, generate visualization tracks, and build mental routines for training and matches. For clubs, Mindbuddy offers a simple platform to track team well-being, measure progress, and provide coaches with actionable insights - allowing mental training to seamlessly integrate into the day-to-day routines of both players and teams. The Why: As a professional footballer for 18 years, including many as captain of Vålerenga, I’ve experienced firsthand the enormous pressure players face. It wasn’t until the latter part of my career, when I discovered the power of mental training, that I realized how much better prepared and focused I could be. That sparked the idea for Mindbuddy. I wanted to create a tool that made mental training accessible to every young athlete, breaking down the barriers of stigma and cost, and ensuring they can unlock their full potential - both on and off the pitch.

Museum for the United Nations-UN Live

UN Live - Museum for the United Nations is a museum for the people and for the world. We are live across the globe to connect people everywhere to the values and work of the United Nations - towards a more sustainable, just, and equal future. In partnership with organisations and brands, we catalyse large-scale cultural experiences and programmes, designed for people to realise their own power to make their mark, no matter their location, background, or leanings. As a borderless and unconventional museum, we are open and live for people and ideas everywhere. We drive actions, rather than showcase artefacts. We work in close collaboration with the United Nations – but we are an independent organisation, not part of the UN system. Please read much more about our work and mission here.

MOELLE

MOELLE is a collection of items that pay tribute to our deep-rooted relationship with the natural world. At MOELLE, we put an emphasis on creating designs that go beyond aesthetics and functionality. We call it 'meaningful designs' and this value centers on the idea that our designs have a purpose and make a positive impact on individuals, society, and the environment. Our kitchenware collection is a celebration of the human connection between nature and food culture. Food has the power to bring people together, fostering relationships and creating memorable moments. It links us to our roots and defines our identity. In French, "moelle" means marrow and is used metaphorically to describe the core or essence of something. It's a way of getting to the heart of a matter or understanding its essence, and this is exactly our mission with MOELLE.

StarCruiter International AS (Ltd.)

THE URGENT ISSUE IN TODAY'S JOB MARKET IN THE NORDIC COUNTRIES: ✪ 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. ✪ 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. ✪ THE RESULT: People are often using ChatGPT or Copilot to write their applications + HR are using AI to read them = nobody is getting hired. ✪ 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. ✪ Denmark’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. ✪ 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 jobs—but not where displaced workers live. THE PERFECT STORM FOR US! TURNING THE RECRUITMENT MARKET UPSIDE-DOWN «From employer initiated to 100% talent focused.» 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.

Livv

Our mission is to enable people to own their own health ❤️‍🩹. The current healthcare system is based on a model of system-first treatment, where the doctor 👨🏻‍⚕️owns the care and the patients comes in for consultations. The system is overwhelmed and people need to take more ownership of their health. But all solutions are based on a system-first 🏛️ thinking and people are feeling left out 🤷🏻‍♀️. Systems keep failing, health platforms never deliver. We bring the patient and doctor together with a single pane of glass 🪟 on your health and make it a conversation on equal terms. We believe that the future of healthcare and medicine is dependent on an inverted healthcare journal on the patients side 🚀. Our team 👭👭 has a proven track record building best in class products in companies like Google, Babylon Health, Oda, Schibsted, Finn, VG, AirHelp. We are experienced in building AI based 🧠 healthcare services scaling to global reach. As an early member of our startup, we offer ownership of shares, as opposed to options in other startups.

Johannas

At Johannas we have a unique, patent pending nutrient recovery system which can be used to both handle residual products and to extract value from these products, including soil improver, biogas and liquid nutrients, thus closing the nutrient loop. We also run a circular food production system, using our nutrient recovery system, delivering food 365 days/year to top chefs and restaurants in Stockholm.

AquaFood

AquaFood has a patent-pending method for extracting high-value, food-grade components at cold temperatures from the side streams of fish production (e.g. heads, backbone, scales, etc.). The components we extract are; pure fish oil that fits as a supplement, a unique protein mass with high functionality (almost minced meat consistency) that fits perfectly for fish balls, fish burgers, or even tubed fish spread, and lastly, we extract a fine collagen powder that fits for dermatological applications. Today, the side streams of fish production account for 40-70% of the fish that is brought into the processing plants. This is a remarkably higher amount than any other food-producing industry. At the same time, the food production system worldwide accounts for 1/3 of green-house gas emissions, 1/3 of land usage, and 2/3 of groundwater withdrawal. The seafood industry has problems of their own, where 95% of our fish stocks are fully utilized and about 30% have already collapsed. There simply is not way for us to increase or even continue to produce the way that we are in a sustainable way. But we still need to increase food production as the globally increasing population will demand a doubling of protein production in the year 2050 compared to now. AquaFood believes that resource efficiency is a huge stepping stone toward reaching a sustainable food production system. A system where we use our resources efficiently and to their full potential is what needs to happen to step into a sustainable future. In our process, we can make sure that the FULL fish is used to its full potential. Through our process, we use no heating steps and the only effluents from our process are the water that we introduce to the system mixed with a small amount of protein. Therefore, our process is highly efficient, sustainable in terms of lower energy and water consumption but also in terms of the resource efficiency that it brings. Our technology is research-based and stems from decades of research in the area of utilization of aquatic biomasses.

Colab

Similarly to how cars replaced horse carriages, a new era of influencer marketing is approaching. Influencer marketing has become a jungle to navigate. Colab enters the market with polarity and new ways of doing things, aiming to re-invent, simplify & streamlining the influencer marketing process by offering a more effective product to brands with a cooler interface. Colab is helping brands facilitate, manage and scale their influencer campaigns, whether they have experience within the field or not. The industry has moved towards limited transparency and unfair pricing, with the general perception being that the more followers, the better the candidate for a campaign. However, the inverse relationship between follower volume and engagement rate makes this notion untrue. By harnessing the power of nano and micro-influencers, we're proving that relation matters more than size regarding impact. We are building our value proposition on this: By activating 10-20 micro-influencers instead of one macro influencer. This way, brands can have a more cost-effective campaign and deliver a higher ROI. Micro-influencers tend to have a more niche audience which can be highly targeted and more likely to convert to customers. This will reduce the risk of fall-throughs and ultimately have greater reach, effect, and overall return. We handle the influencer volume through our platform. The content creators follow brands they like, which is how we pick the relevant content creators for a particular campaign. No need to reach out to multiple influencers that don't like your brand in the first place. The relevant content creators get picked, can access the brief, order products, track packages, upload content for approval and chat with us through our Colab app. In other words, we have compressed the process to its core, turned the table, so the content creators pick the brand, and assembled all necessary steps and communication in one place. One of the most crucial factors in our approach is the community we build and nurture. We are very selective regarding brands we collaborate with and content creators. Hence, insofar as possible, we prioritise working with authentic brands and mainly content creators with some edge in a niche market, making them valuable to the brands wanting exposure to their particular niche. Colab began because we all saw how the influencer marketing industry was speeding out of control with the perception that the greater the reach, the better the candidate, at the expense of prices going through the roof, despite a lack of transparency and all campaign-associated data showing how well the campaign performed. In combination with the fact that trust tends to be more prevalent among nano and micro-influencers and their audience, mainly driven by their ability to create content that is perceived as more authentic and relatable, which can lead to greater credibility among their followers, additionally, making their engagement rates higher than Macro-influencers. Colab autogenerates a digestible data report on campaign performance comprised of every content creator participating in the campaign, which gives an overview of the content, the reach, impression rate and many more metrics. In Colab, it is, therefore, not crucial whether you have 2.000 followers or 200.000 followers as long as you are authentic and make an effort in what you are creating and posting regardless of what it is.
