Cobrief

Cobrief is developing an AI-powered public procurement platform to help businesses across all industries find, evaluate, and win government tenders — replacing manual, time-consuming bid processes with intelligent automation that acts like having an extra colleague on the team. Public procurement represents over 800 billion NOK annually in Norway alone, yet the average government tender receives only around 3–5 bids. In nearly 20% of tenders, only one or zero suppliers submit a bid. The reason: tender data is scattered across closed platforms, the process is complex, and small businesses lack the resources to keep up. Suppliers can't find the opportunities, or give up because the process is too complicated. The result is less competition, worse deals for taxpayers, and lost revenue for businesses that could have won. Cobrief aggregates public tenders from procurement databases across Scandinavia, Finland, and Germany — including Doffin, TED, Udbud, and Hilma — into a single searchable platform. AI-powered matching scores every opportunity against each company's profile, sending relevant alerts via email, Slack, or Teams. When a team decides to bid, an AI writing module drafts proposal responses from a knowledge base of past submissions. Automated price sheet filling pulls from product catalogs, and CV matching identifies the right personnel. A Bid Manager Agent provides autonomous support throughout the entire process — functioning as an AI colleague from evaluation to submission. Teams collaborate in shared workspaces with task boards, deadline calendars, and role-based access. Used by 1,500+ companies, with a free plan to get started. The founders experienced firsthand how broken the public procurement process is for suppliers. Tender data that should be freely and directly accessible by law is in practice locked behind commercial platforms, creating unnecessary barriers to competition. They saw that businesses — especially SMBs — were missing out on opportunities worth billions simply because the system was too opaque and complex. Cobrief was built to fix that: make public tenders accessible, understandable, and winnable for every business. Beyond the product, the team is actively advocating for open procurement data in Norway through anbudsdata.no, pushing for systemic change so that public tender data is truly open — not just in theory, but in practice.

Leern.io

Leern udvikler fremtidens interne streaming-platform for at hjælpe ambitiøse virksomheder med at dræbe kedelig træning. Vi løser problemet med uengagerede medarbejdere ved hjælp af et lækkert, streaming-inspireret univers, der gør det lige så vanedannende at lære om virksomhedens strategi, som det er at se sin yndlingsserie. Lad os være ærlige: De fleste traditionelle læringssystemer (LMS) og intranet er digitale kirkegårde, hvor god viden dør. Det er et enormt problem. Når systemerne er tunge og ulogiske, holder medarbejderne op med at bruge dem. Det betyder dårlig onboarding af nye talenter, langsom vidensdeling og en kultur, der går i stå. Det rammer alle – fra den nyansatte, der føler sig overladt til sig selv, til ledelsen, der forgæves forsøger at rulle nye strategier ud. Vi har smidt de kedelige mappelister ud og erstattet dem med en visuel streaming-oplevelse. Leern er bygget til det moderne menneske. Vi gør det muligt for virksomheder at: - Skabe "binge-worthy" læringsrejser (f.eks. pre- og onboarding) på minutter, ikke dage. - Servere viden i korte, skarpe formater – video, lyd og tekst – som medarbejderne faktisk gider klikke på. - Samle alt i en lækker platform, så sælgeren kan lytte til seneste nyt i bilen, og den nyansatte kan se velkomstvideoen på sofaen. Det er corporate learning, der føles som fredag aften på sofaen, ikke mandag morgen på skolebænken. Vi fik nok af, at "work-tech" altid skal være grimmere og dårligere end den teknologi, vi bruger privat. Hvorfor skal det være en kamp at finde information på arbejdet, når det tager to sekunder på TV2 play eller Apple tv derhjemme? Vi startede Leern med en klar mission: At gøre op med kedelig software. Vi lukker kløften mellem arbejde og fritid ved at skabe et værktøj, der sætter brugeroplevelsen først. Vi gør det, fordi vi ved, at når læring bliver tilgængeligt og sjovt, så vokser både mennesker og bundlinjer.

ABEL Technologies

The Problem Most workplaces struggle with high sick leave — and the root causes are rarely acute injuries or illness. They are lifestyle-driven issues: • fatigue and low energy • stress and mental strain • poor sleep • musculoskeletal pain • unhealthy habits • lack of support These problems build up over time, and employees try to handle them alone. But people don’t change their health on their own — and employers don’t have the tools or competency to help them. The result? High sick leave costs, reduced productivity, and employees who are stuck in patterns they can’t break. Why it matters Sick leave is one of the biggest hidden costs in business. A single employee on sick leave costs on average 65 200 kr per year — and 20% of employees account for 80% of the total. Most of these cases are preventable with the right support. At the same time, people want help: 85% prefer guidance from a qualified professional rather than trying to solve health challenges alone. ABEL’s Role ABEL solves this gap. We connect employees with qualified health coaches who follow them closely over time — mentally, physically, and socially. Through structured guidance and our digital platform, we help people make sustainable lifestyle changes that reduce sick leave and increase wellbeing. The impact: Employees get better health. Companies save money. Society reduces the burden of preventable illness.

SomebodyMakeIt

GitHub made it easy for the world to build software together. SomebodyMakeIt does the same for physical products. SomebodyMakeIt is where brands, IP owners, and product creators can turn ideas into real products without building supply chains from scratch through a shared infrastructure for sourcing, collaboration, production, and scaling. Physical product creation is still absurdly broken. If you want to launch something real, you usually need to find the right people, manage scattered files and feedback, coordinate suppliers, handle production risk, and commit money before you know if demand exists. That kills speed, margins, and momentum. It also locks out a huge number of creators and companies that could launch great products if the system were easier. This is a massive market gap hiding in plain sight. We are building the platform where physical products get built. A place where ideas, briefs, collaborators, makers, manufacturers, production knowledge, and execution can live in one system. Instead of every company rebuilding the process from zero, they can plug into shared infrastructure for developing, testing, and scaling products. The more projects that run through the platform, the stronger the network becomes. More data, better matching, faster execution, more repeat production, and more value captured across the lifecycle. We started this because we think it is crazy that software has world class infrastructure for building together, while physical products are still stuck in email, spreadsheets, fragmented sourcing, and expensive guesswork. That should not be true anymore. We are building SomebodyMakeIt because the company that becomes the default place where physical products get built can become incredibly important.
