The World Health Organization has dubbed stress as the “Health Epidemic of the 21st Century”. Public premises and offices often lack calm, relaxing, and ergonomic private spaces for people to alleviate stress. In addition, easy-to-use tools exist for measuring stress markers, but they are not providing instant help in improving them and relieving stress and anxiety. Silmu provides an experiential private space to recharge, focus, and relax in public premises where privacy is missing. Silmu is designed for offices and public spaces to help people to measure their wellbeing and instantly alleviate stress and anxiety with content and modern wellbeing technologies such as biofeedback.

Zeabuz is a spin-off from the leading research community on autonomous vessels at NTNU in Trondheim. Our autonomy technology is field-proven for shortcuts across urban waterways, and we are now searching for long-term investors while preparing for market launch. Water used to be the main infrastructure for most cities in the world. While roads are filling up everywhere, much of the urban waters are have become highly underutilized. At Zeabuz we want to reverse this trend by introducing a technology platform that makes local waterborne transport an economically viable and sustainable option. Our mobility system, which comprises a combination of a network of small vessels, electric drive, and autonomous operation, is a truly scalable solution fit for many of the world’s urban areas. Enabling increased flow by utilizing available waterways will allow more people to travel by foot and bike and hence will reduce the need for road traffic and in the end reduce emissions of climate gasses. Another perspective is that dynamic utilization of waterways will reduce the need for new inflexible infrastructures such as roads and bridges, which saves both money, emissions from concrete production, and local footprint. The Zeabuz urban mobility system will be a compelling and attractive mobility solution for cities globally. Rough estimates have shown that there is a market for approx. 4000 Zeabuz-like ferries in the EU alone. Zeabuz aims to take a major share of this emerging market. The company is founded on the idea that passenger transport across urban waters is a highly suitable starting point for commercializing autonomous mobility. In this segment, risks are mitigated by low speeds and high physical margins which also allow us to focus on solving only a few problems at a time while still earning positive returns from the start. As the Zeabuz technology platform matures in this first segment, we will explore its scaling potential across several dimensions. This means we could branch out and adapt to new opportunities and market demand based on our solid foundation in autonomy, assurance, and mobility solutions. Our autonomy platform can be utilized to deliver Autonomy-as-a-Service which enables entries into new markets, new use cases, and an expansion to more complex operational domains. Zeabuz is now preparing for launching a commercial pilot in a Scandinavian city in 2022. Much of the financial structure required is already in place and will be triggered by the entry of a Lead Investor

Siana is a university study project, that turned into a technology startup. We help manufacturing and utility companies in preventing unplanned downtime caused by worn down-machinery or unexpected failures. Essentially, our technology predicts machine failures, before they happen. Yes, we can in fact, predict the future 🔮. Our customers, which lists some of Denmarks largest manufacturing companies, typically monitor the performance and health of critical machinery such as motors, pumps, gears, and bearings ⚙️ We love to develop intuitive and easy-to-use solutions to very complex problems using technology. This is a vital part of Siana's DNA. User experience is therefore our first priority, allowing our users (technicians and maintenance staff), to easily utilise complex data-driven maintenance, even without prior knowledge of the specific domain. This enables them to schedule and carry out maintenance on machinery before they break down, saving them money, headaches and wasted resources. ♻️

REGULATING MODERN TECHNOLOGY We develop 'lifestyle systems’ and the market's first AI-integrated hybrid watch that is designed to counter information overload. Our technology interprets and disperses information to only notify of what is subjectively relevant and important to the user. Our mission is to eradicate the abuse of digital communication to create a socially sustainable cyber life. The market need is indicated by the fact that people receive an average of 64 notifications a day and only a fraction are relevant to the user. The ordinary functionality is static and delivers information regardless of the user's wishes and needs at any given moment, which impairs focus and causes stress. The notifications do not differ from one another regardless of severity and they are all based on sources instead of topics and people. We circumvent this inconvenience and offer a solution that ensures that the user never has to be distracted in vain. Our solution is aimed at high-performing, social, and fashion-conscious men and women mainly in the ages 30-50, who highly benefit from saving time, remaining focused, and reducing screen-time and stress in everyday life. THE FUTURE OF SMART PRODUCTS We solve the problem with a watch that works as a digital ‘gatekeeper’ against irrelevant information rather than an extension to the mobile phone like regular smartwatches. The dynamic functions are based on the user's hierarchical values and micro-activities, which together with AI filtering and machine learning enable customized technology and a completely new type of smart functionality. ★ STARTUP OF THE YEAR-FINALIST┃288 PRE-ORDERS IN 72 HOURS ★ The project has been developed for three years through a global network with competence from companies such as Fossil, Citizen, Hugo Boss, and Intel, and we have senior board members with experience managing 200MSEK-2BSEK companies. The development is now being supported by Kronaby's co-founders and senior engineers Pål Borge and Sarandis Kalogeropulos. We develop our own app and watch movements with two years of smart battery life, and the development of the next generation has also begun which will be a body-heat-driven hybrid that enables life-long battery life. That development project will be carried out together with a Silicon Valley-based company focusing on thermoelectric energy. ★ FUNDING THROUGH VINNOVA┃5 INVESTORS IN 1ST SEED ROUND ★ WHY A WATCH? ○ It creates a physical barrier that deprioritizes the phone to limit screen time. ○ It is the ultimate product to optimize because of its accessibility. ○ All competitors are counter-intuitive and contribute to the problem. ○ Integrating the app with a watch creates more opportunities for patents. ○ The margins in the watch industry are almost unbelievably high. ○ We love watches. FOUNDER STATEMENT What motivated me to quit my day job to focus on my own endeavors was the realization that I really thrive in creative processes, and a company is a very meaningful, fulfilling, and long-term creation. Entrepreneurship lets me look at life as a journey to fulfill my greatest wishes and desires, some that are related to the satisfaction in personal development but mostly my dream to give my family the fruits of life and to ultimately help and inspire the greater society.

Celora Studio is a start-up from Uppsala, Sweden, who designs, manufactures and sells sound-transparent speaker covers. So that you can show your personality, and design your home the way you like it. Soon we'll be launching Canvas – a speaker cover in a sound-transparent and eco-labelled fabric that allows you to change the color of Sonos One. Our next step is to create speaker covers for more Sonos products, and for other speaker ranges. Our vision is to make electronics something that adds beauty and personality to your home, rather than something you want to hide. And that you should never have to replace electronics just because you don’t like the look of it anymore. So how did we get here? First of all, we have a passion for entrepreneurship and wanted to build a company. A company with a sustainable business model, and where people can be happy and thrive. We also saw that small multi-room and smart speakers are becoming increasingly popular, but they mostly come in black, white and gray. Through qualitative studies we identified the need to change the look of these speakers, and realised it could be done through speaker covers. Since then we have also seen the need to personalise home electronics in general. We hope that being able to change the look of home electronics and applicances will increase their lifespan and reduce waste. This leads us to sustainability, which is an important aspect of what we do. We want to find ways that our business can contribute to the Agenda 2030 goals. Canvas for Sonos One is manufactured under fair working conditions in the EU, using fabric that’s certified according to EU-ecolabel and Indoor advantage gold. We also believe in diversity and fair working conditions at Celora Studio. We’re only two people in the team so far, but we’re diverse when it comes to age and ethnicity. We’re aware of our own biases, and strive to use unbiased and scientifically proven methods in everything from setting salaries to recruitment and promotions.
