Voima Gold is an innovative fintech company offering account services for global clients. We have over a thousand clients from over 30 countries around the world. In the last couple of years we have built our own web- and mobile applications as well as our own vault in Helsinki, Finland. Last year, our revenue was 19.2 million euros. Currently, we hire 19 full-time employees and our company is constantly growing. Our office is in the heart of Helsinki. The Voima Account was created to counter the unfairness of the banking system. Regular banks do not safeguard people’s money in a safe manner. In case the bank fails to balance their operations, the clients face the consequences and lose their savings. This has happened already in Cyprus, and the instability of the financial world makes bank collapses likely to happen elsewhere as well. On top of this, creating more and more money in the recent years has led to euros and other currencies losing their value. On the other hand economics and history have shown that gold retains its value. Gold copes better with crisis and economic downturns.The people who have owned physical gold have retained the value of their money and purchasing power, unlike people who have only stored the majority of their money in a bank as digital numbers. This is why we offer accounts with physical gold holdings. We believe it is fair, that our clients get to keep the value of their money and purchasing power now and for generations to come.

Nordetect was founded with a vision of enabling farmers and growers around the world to produce quality food with the least amount of resources. Some might call this sustainable, we think it's inevitable! We need to grow more food to feed growing populations, and we need to do it in a way that does not destroy the planet in the process. But agriculture is a resource-heavy industry that depends on inputs such as water, seeds, fertilizer, and pesticides, many of which are overused, just to be safe. This has an impact on the economy of the farmer, the quality of soil and water in our environment, and the quality of food that we eat. Food cannot grow without water and nutrients, and this is exactly where we focus our attention. At our core, we are a biochemical analysis company that combines Lab-on-a-Chip technologies, computer vision, and a modern software stack to produce a rapid testing device and analytics tools. But our product has gained the nickname “The blood test for crops”. This lets our customers rapidly measure the levels of chemicals in soil, water, or plant sap so they can make better decisions on how they use their chemical inputs. As you can imagine, it's a tech-heavy product but we strive to make it look simple so it can scale to even the most low-tech customers. Culturally, we are diverse on all fronts. Gender, nationality, age, and academic background, to name a few. We believe that the modern workspace is a meeting of the minds and that collective intelligence is greater than the sum of the individuals. We're also huge fans of self-starters and believe that there are no passengers in a startup because we are all drivers of some form of growth. If you don't see a job posting from us, don't let that stop you from engaging. Get in touch!

GSA has offices in Copenhagen and Budapest and works closely with governments, investors, and business partners worldwide. Its model operates through a licensee-and-partnership structure, in which external organisations under the GSA framework lead several regional programs.

We also work with traditional artists who explore contemporary applications.     Strengthen education:   Blank Space offers a wide variety of workshops, lectures, and events to broaden the creative resources for artists in Oslo. These high quality arrangements vary in topic, theme, and level so that everyone can improve their skills in visual art and design.   Support production:   Blank Space encourages action, not just talk.     Challenge yourself:   Through our studios and events we promote taking risks in art, pushing skills past their current level, and helping others to be the best artist / designer they can be.
