Disruptive Engineering enables more effective planning, management, and monitoring of road networks. Proprietary sensor hardware 'made in Norway'Use AI and neural networks for detailed classification of vehicles. Privacy-by-design solution ensuring that no personal data is stored or shared. With traffic expected to grow by 60% by 2050, and with congestion and safety already being an issue, there is a pressing need to utilize road networks more efficiently. Both Statens Vegvesen and Nye Veier see our first sensor VS1, and the valuable data it provides, as a potential solution to achieve this as well as an opportunity to digitalize roads and infrastructure for the forthcoming Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) that are being implemented across Europe.Statens Vegvesen linkNye Veier link

Versiro develops software that accelerates the energy transition. Renewable electricity is great for the environment but difficult to plan because its production depends on uncertain weather conditions. Versiro develops an AI copilot that helps renewable producers make smart decisions in real time while considering these uncertainties. This assists the integration of renewable energy and increases its profitability, two key factors to enable the green energy transition. Versiro was founded by researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) and follows the observation that, in electric power systems, the traditional pipelines from research to industry are too outdated to keep up with the fast-paced world of machine learning.

Bile duct cancer is an aggressive form of cancer with an extremely poor overall five-year survival rate of just 2-5 %. Classified as an orphan disease, annual incidence in Europe and the United States of 15-22,000 patients, and a significantly higher incidence in Asia, makes it a major player and the deadliest of the gastrointestinal cancers. Only a small number of patients are eligible for a complete surgical resection by local resection or liver transplantation, and more than 50% of these relapse. The vast majority are treated by gemcitabine-based palliative chemotherapy with a life expectancy of 11 months, and five-year survival rate of zero %. Thus, there is an urgent and unmet medical need to develop new and better treatment strategies for these patients. The innovations developed by Seald are a result of adopting a multidisciplinary approach to the diagnosis and treatment of bile duct cancer, based on extensive drug sensitivity assays on living cancer cells, molecular biomarkers, DNA sequencing, extensive bioinformatics analyses and zebrafish models. Sealds’s holistic approach is unique with possible modes of action that can be used on other solid cancers. Our technology includes drug repurposing and innovation on new medical substances, diagnostics and methodology. The stipulated pharma market globally is USD 2.1-4.2 billion, in addition to the markets for diagnostics and platform technology

Fishency Innovation can give access to the entire salmon industry to affordable equipment to count automatically sea lice in the cage. Monitoring sea lice is the key to controlling them, it is access to good decision support for optimized treatments and to a reliable tool to measure the efficiency of preventive measures and existing treatments. Today, sea lice are counted manually over 20 fish, every week, in each cage. It is labor-demanding, and the collected data are not reliable. Sustainability starts with good data.

Founded on the idea that drone technology can dramatically reduce maintenance costs and improve the efficiency of salmon production by monitoring environmental conditions. Slik virker undervannsdrone fra SeaSmart - Slik virker dronen i merden Dronen er trådløs og har ingen kabler, tau eller propeller som gjør den svært enkel å installere - bare legg den i merden. Den beveger seg i merden ved å endre oppdrift - drar inn litt vann for å synke og skyver det ut igjen for å flyte (patentert). Slik kan den måle hele merden i opp til 6 måneder på ett batteri. Den kan da heller ikke skade not eller annet i merden. -Vedlikeholdsfri over hele verden Data sendes via satellitt som gjør at den har dekning over hele verden. Den er vedlikeholdsfri og trenger ikke vask. Løsningen er kosteffektiv fordi den ikke er avhengig av strøm eller skap på merdkanten og kan leveres per post. -Måler i hele merden Dronen måler med 9 ulike sensorer i hele vannsøylen. Det inkluderer salinitet (haloklin), lys, fisketetthet (ekkolodd), oksygen (Aanderaa), temperatur, turbiditet, støy, bølgehøyde og strøm; samt sammensatte målinger av appetitt, stress og risiko. -Datatilgang og rapporteur Datavisning på nett og på mail. Løsningen støtter ASC-rapportering. Data er også tilgjengelig for BI-systemer eller 3. part i API. I det hele tatt, svært mye i en liten pakke.

Our startup, Syrcle, is an innovative AI-powered social event platform. Initially launching in Sweden, our mission is to revolutionize the way people connect, socialize, and engage. Problem Statement: In the ever-growing digital world, people increasingly struggle to find meaningful social connections and events that align with their interests. Traditional social media and event platforms often lack personalization and struggle to facilitate deeper, valuable connections. They are largely reactive platforms where users must actively search for events or rely on word-of-mouth recommendations, leading to missed opportunities for enrichment and social engagement. Solution: Syrcle solves this problem by creating an all-in-one platform that uses AI to facilitate and foster meaningful connections. Our platform integrates users' preferences and social behaviors to suggest events and like-minded individuals, making it easier for people to connect and engage with each other. Whether users are looking to deepen relationships with their current friends or meet new like-minded people, Syrcle can intuitively help them find the right events. From small gatherings to larger social events, our platform handles everything from discovery to RSVPs, making the process seamless for both hosts and attendees. Why Syrcle: Our approach uniquely combines the power of AI with the innate human desire for connection and social engagement. This fusion empowers us to offer a more personalized, intuitive experience compared to traditional social media or event platforms. By focusing on creating a community and nurturing relationships, we believe Syrcle will fundamentally transform the way people socialize and engage.
