15% of total European emission are from Road freight transportation. 40% of traffic C02 emissions in urban areas are from commercially used vans and trucks. Uptimus is developing a full Fleet-as-a-Service solution to help transportation companies tackle the challenges of transitioning to electric vehicles. Our unique approach combines vehicle sharing, digitalization, and simplifying complexity to make the shift towards greener, more sustainable solutions more accessible, efficient, and manageable for all.

This is where Uptimus steps in. By offering a comprehensive Fleet-as-a-Service solution, we enable companies to optimize their fleets and reduce costs through vehicle sharing. Digitalization allows for better understanding and management of vehicle and driver performance, as well as ensuring optimal usage and charging. To further simplify the transition, we provide an all-inclusive package that covers all aspects of the vehicle, including the where, when, and how of charging, making the transition to electric vehicles completely seamless. Our passion for creating a greener future and our expertise in technology and fleet management led us to develop Uptimus. We recognized the urgent need for sustainable transportation solutions and the challenges faced by smaller companies in adopting electric vehicles. We are committed to making a tangible impact on the environment and revolutionizing the way businesses manage their fleets in the era of electric vehicles. By using our platform and solution for shared fleet we can increase reduction to 80% (or 47 tCO2eq per diesel van replaced).

We are on the mission to reinvent civil engineering for a sustainable future. We are building a one-stop shop for the design and engineering of structural assets. We are leveraging AI, cloud technologies, parametric modelling, geotechnologies, structural engineering, remote sensing (wind and terrain data) and big data to reduce the cost and time of structural design and analysis.

Diwala is a Norwegian-based company that is focused on building opportunities for youth, addressing the global issue of identity theft and certification fraud. Today, displaced individuals and people in emerging markets are challenged by high costs and slow manual processes to verify the authenticity of their skills, identity and credentials. As a result, these individuals have to deal with tedious and out-dated credentialing processes, and are in some cases forced to repeat years of education. This leads to both loss of productivity and inflated unemployment. Imagine that you had to flee your own home because of war. Like Aıscha Najjar, a Syrian doctor turned refugee immigrated to the United States to pursue her dream of work & a safe home. Yet, due to loss of information, she was forced to repeat medical school in the United States. If she had a verifiable skill identity, she might have had the privilege of practicing medicine without any questions. Aıscha`s story amongst others epitomizes the challenge Diwala is addressing. To tackle this challenge, Diwala has created a platform that enables schools and NGOs to issue skill-based identities, backed by blockchain technology. A skill-ID is a digitally verified record of a person’s educational and work history. Diwala is building an ecosystem of trust, by enabling educational institutions and organizations to safely and digitally issue and verify credentials. This will, in turn, save all parties time, money and build a bridge for global work opportunities for untapped talent. Complementing the platform, Diwala has built an app that allows students to easily receive, store and share credentials of both soft and hard skills. By utilizing a decentralized identity management tool, Diwala’s application will also give people ownership of their data information. Diwala is currently executing pilots regularly, to optimize the features and security of the platform in both Kenya and Uganda. Working with their implementation partner Clarke University in Kampala, Diwala recently issued the first set of skill-identities to both students and administrators. These are the first ever digitally verified certificates backed by decentralized identity and blockchain in Africa

Seidr builds software that turns months of manual site selection and early-phase engineering work into hours of automated analysis, for developers of energy-intensive industrial projects: Power-to-X, data centers, and other power-hungry industries across Europe. Today, finding and qualifying a site for one of these projects takes 6-18 months and can cost millions, because the work is done manually, spreadsheet by spreadsheet, consultant by consultant, one candidate site at a time. Critical blockers, such as insufficient grid capacity or zoning conflicts, often surface only after months of work, when changing course is expensive. Seidr automates this. Our platform screens candidate sites in parallel against dozens of criteria, including grid capacity, current and future zoning, and environmental risk, and returns a ranked, decision-ready shortlist in hours instead of months. The underlying logic is built on real industrial project experience, not generic AI. We already have a signed, paying pilot customer and a growing pipeline of Power-to-X and data center developers across the Nordics and Germany. Backed by a venture studio, we are now looking for a CEO to take Seidr from pilot to scale, and to grow the platform from site selection into the full early-phase planning stack for energy-intensive projects.
