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.

Monto is developing a cutting-edge rental platform to help individuals and businesses rent items, making access to resources easy and sustainable with a user-friendly platform. We are tackling the issue of underutilized resources and overconsumption. This problem affects both individuals and businesses, leading to unnecessary waste and environmental impact. Many items are only used sporadically, resulting in a significant carbon footprint. This problem is widespread across various industries and communities. Monto offers a digital marketplace where private users and businesses can list and rent out their gear and equipment. By providing a platform that streamlines communication, transactions, and rental processes, Monto empowers people to rent what they need instead of buying, reducing waste and encouraging a more sustainable lifestyle. Our user-friendly platform ensures a seamless rental experience for everyone involved. The idea for Monto originated from witnessing the growing issue of overconsumption and its environmental impact. We realized that the sharing economy could play a crucial role in addressing this problem. The desire to make a positive impact on the planet and promote sustainable practices fueled our determination to build Monto. We quit our day jobs to focus on this entrepreneurial journey because we believe that facilitating the sharing of resources can lead to a greener and more efficient world, benefitting both individuals and the environment.

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.

At GoGood, we work towards developing a reuse economy for office furniture that will be preferred to the consumer economy. Our solution consists of a digital reuse-platform that aims to become a driving force in the reuse economy for used office furniture. We have taken a concrete approach, starting with office interiors as our initial focus. In Norway alone, the office furniture market is worth over 4 billion annually, yet we discard 140,000 tons of furniture valued at 400-500 million Norwegian kroner each year. This cannot continue. That's why we have developed a reuse-platform for furniture, including a marketplace for the professional furniture market, making it incredibly easy for businesses, interior architects, and other stakeholders to sell their furniture while also simplifying the process of purchasing used furniture for interior projects, as well as making old furniture look new again. Over the past two years, we have made significant progress in developing modern reuse solutions, products, and services. With public support totaling over 15 million Norwegian kroner from the Research Council of Norway, Innovation Norway, and the Oslo municipality, as well as partnerships with industry players such as Flokk, Aarsland, Ope, Norsk Gjenvinning, Glomma Industrier, Hannah Nordh, Oslo Waste and Recycling Agency, NORSUS - Norwegian Institute for Sustainability Research, Norsk Regnesentral, and OBOS, we are now ready with our reuse-platform making the circular economy for office furniture on a large scale possible-

Short ------ Wepost makes marketing your superpower. We are developing the greatest platform for marketing. We combine artificial intelligence with design to provide high-quality creatives for scale-up companies. Each creative is tailored every individual social media platform based on the company's strategy and publishing plan. Long ----- Problem: The problem is that the vast majority of companies do not know how to use social media marketing strategically or effectively. This leads to them either; 1) spending too much money on paid advertising to reach their target audience, or 2) not having a clear strategy behind their marketing, resulting in low quality content. In the worst cases, they do both. This leads to low visibility and ultimately loss of customers and revenue. In fact, 14% of startups fail as a result of poor marketing. In addition, those who work in marketing experience that daily content production for social media is a repetitive and boring job. They themselves feel that they are overworked, and social media often fall far down the priority list. Solution: Our solution is to use artificial intelligence (AI) to turn marketing into a company's superpower. We create a platform that helps companies create a strategic marketing plan, and then automatically generates the content using AI. The content is adapted to their brand and segment, which makes the software unique on the market. In addition, the service is priced as a software, where there is a public fixed monthly subscription to the content production, something similar services from agencies do not offer today. The focus on software development also makes the service highly scalable, and with our team it is only a matter of time before it is developed.
