1. Short description RoboConnect is developing an independent, AI-supported platform that helps industrial companies turn tacit and fragmented process knowledge into a clear, decision-relevant automation case — before supplier dialogue begins. 2. The problem Many industrial companies know they need to automate, but struggle to define what should be automated, what is causing the problem and whether the process is ready for investment. The people closest to production often understand the process well, but this knowledge may be spread across operators, engineers and management, poorly documented or mixed with assumptions and missing data. The customer may therefore approach the market with an unclear problem description and incomplete information. System integrators then have to reconstruct the customer’s process understanding and collect missing data before a meaningful solution dialogue can begin. This creates uncertainty, longer clarification phases, weak or difficult-to-compare proposals and projects that stall early. The core problem is not a lack of technology or suppliers. It is that the knowledge needed to make a good early automation decision is often tacit, fragmented and difficult to transfer. 3. The solution RoboConnect starts by understanding the customer’s process, challenges and actual needs. The RoboConnect AI Advisor conducts a guided professional conversation that helps the company describe how production works today, what it wants to improve, which constraints matter and what information is still missing. The AI Advisor brings together information from different parts of the organisation, separates facts from assumptions and uncertainty, identifies knowledge gaps and risks, and turns unclear issues into practical next actions. The result is a shared and structured automation basis that can be developed into a supplier-ready project brief. Relevant projects can then be connected with suitable system integrators, technology suppliers and R&D environments. This gives the customer greater decision confidence and solution providers a better starting point. RoboConnect is not building a generic chatbot. The platform combines a domain-specific workflow, structured project data and knowledge from industrial cases, expert interviews and feedback from customers and automation partners. Over time, this strengthens clarification, project maturation and matching. The first focused area is welding automation and high-mix, low-volume manufacturing. The longer-term ambition is to expand across other automation categories and build a Nordic platform for early-stage automation clarification and matching. 4. Business model and commercial opportunity RoboConnect creates value on both sides of the market. Industrial companies receive a clearer and safer starting point, while automation partners gain access to better-qualified customer opportunities. The current model is based mainly on supplier-side revenue through fees for qualified matches and successful projects. Future revenue streams may include paid AI-assisted readiness reports, supplier subscriptions, premium access and category-specific products. The model is now being validated through pilots and early customer projects. Norway is the validation market, with Sweden as the first intended scale-up market. 5. Why I started RoboConnect The motivation came from repeated conversations with industrial companies, automation experts and system integrators. I saw that many projects became uncertain long before technology was selected. Companies needed a more independent and structured way to understand their own situation before entering a supplier-led process. With a background in research, data analysis and complex problem structuring, combined with further training in programming, databases and AI, I founded RoboConnect to bridge the gap between industrial process knowledge and automation delivery.

Conceivio is a tech-enabled fertility support platform that helps people improve their chances of having a healthy baby—whether they’re trying naturally, preparing for IVF, or preserving their fertility. Our unique blend of AI and human expertise offers personalised, science-based support 24/7, all in one affordable, easy-to-use app. The Problem: Fertility support is often confusing, expensive, and scattered across too many tools, clinics, and conflicting pieces of advice. People are left overwhelmed—navigating a deeply personal journey with little personalised guidance, especially when time, budget, or mental space are limited. Whether someone is just starting to think about having children, actively trying, going through treatment, or simply planning for the future, they deserve care that’s holistic, trustworthy, and made for them. That kind of support didn’t exist—so we built it. How We Help: Conceivio brings everything together in one place. Our app combines a digital fertility coach trained by human experts, access to curated products and tests, 1:1 specialist bookings, and a supportive community. It’s not just information—it’s action. Users answer a few questions, and we create a personalised, step-by-step plan that adjusts as their needs evolve. We cover the full picture: nutrition, mental health, movement, intimacy, testing, supplements, and more. Whether it’s late at night or a slow morning, support is always there—in your pocket, on your terms. Why We’re Here: We’ve seen too many people feel stuck, stressed, and alone on their fertility journey. Some of us have lived it ourselves. We built Conceivio because no one should have to piece together support during one of the most important times in their life. We’re here to make that journey clearer, calmer, and more empowering. We believe everyone deserves accessible, personalised fertility care—wherever they are, whenever they need it.
