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.

Developing the best 1-100km sustainable public transportation service. CabiBUS Sustainable Mobility AB develop an autonomous electric minibus and system for sustainable, on demand, door-to-door, safe, secure, economic and efficient public transportation, parcel delivery and recycling collection. The minibus will have a unique patented design with separate cabins for each passenger, offering a comfortable and secure travel for all types of passengers. It solves the problem with fear of sharing rides with strangers or sending children to school or activities in a minibus without a driver. It also solves the problem with risk for viruses and infections in public transportation since each cabin have fresh air supply with selectable temperature and UV-C light disinfection when a cabin is empty. In case of an accident, each passenger is protected in the rigid cabin with airbags and air curtains all around, not possible in vehicles with open interiors. Between the cabins there is a strong framework that makes the vehicle withstand impacts from all sides, also only possible with this solution. In evenings and weekend, when people are at home and it is less demand for person transportation, cabins in some of the vehicles are exchanged with parcel box cabins and used for silent and fossil free e-commerce distribution and recycling collection. Several business models are possible. - The designs and patents can be licensed to vehicle manufacturers in different parts of the world. - Vehicles are manufactured and sold mobility operators. - Vehicles are manufactured and used by the company as a Robotaxi mobility operator. Autonomous mobility services are predicted to become the major mode of transportation and CabiBUS can become a unicorn in this field within 5 years. The company vision is best described with THE GLOBAL GOALS 11 Sustainable Cities And Communities Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable Target 11.2 AFFORDABLE AND SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT SYSTEMS By 2030, provide access to safe, affordable, accessible and sustainable transport systems for all, improving road safety, notably by expanding public transport, with special attention to the needs of those in vulnerable situations, women, children, persons with disabilities and older persons
