Edventures is an impact-focused edtech and future-of-work startup offering a personalised entrepreneurship coaching and learning app to empower more people through entrepreneurship. We’re exploring how AI can make entrepreneurship as accessible as texting. With 75 million young people globally disengaged from work and education, the economic and social cost is staggering—€153 billion annually in Europe alone. Traditional entrepreneurship support excludes over 90% of potential founders, leaving millions without guidance. Edventures is bridging this gap with AI-powered, scalable coaching. Our web app features Anna, a conversational AI coach; Eddie, a gamified learning module “Duolingo for entrepreneurship”; and Franklin, a coaching dashboard for data-driven mentorship. By leveraging LLMs, a proprietary AI-system, and data-driven insights, we provide personalised, ongoing support that adapts to entrepreneurs’ needs. Our vision is to empower millions of overlooked entrepreneurs, reducing NEET rates and fostering economic inclusion. With a B2B2C model, we work with entrepreneurship support organisations to scale globally and we’re already running paid pilots.

We're rethinking human-AI interaction from first principles to be more natural, enabling the next generation of conversational AI products. Today's AI conversations feel constrained because they rely on a turn-based interaction model—speak, wait, listen, repeat. Real human dialogue doesn't work this way. It's fluid, overlapping, and full of real-time feedback. True conversational fluency requires the ability to interrupt, provide instant reactions, and engage in the dynamic back-and-forth that characterizes authentic communication. We're building a full-duplex conversational speech model and developer-friendly SDKs for natural, simultaneous two-way communication with AI agents.

Furhat's core mission is to enable people to easily build real-world use cases and give robots all the essential social and conversational skills needed to interact with humans just as we interact with each other.

YourGroup builds software for the sponsorship and events industry. Not general purpose tools bent to fit, but three platforms built for the specific work of selling sponsorships, running events and staffing the day. The problem is the same in three places. Something is promised, someone has to deliver it, and afterwards nobody can prove what actually happened. A sponsor is promised twenty tickets and exposure on the big screen. The tickets are allocated, sent out and forgotten. When the renewal conversation comes around, neither side can say how many were used or what the agreement was worth. The same pattern repeats with guests at an event, and with crew on a shift. The commitments sit in contracts, the delivery sits in email, and the proof sits nowhere. YourSpons solves it for sponsorships, and it works from both sides of the table. The rights holder allocates tickets and tracks deliverables. The sponsoring brand sees its own portfolio across every rights holder it works with, including who internally may receive what, and how much is actually used. What the rights holder allocates is what the brand sees. YourEvent covers the guest journey: invitation, registration, tickets, time slots, check-in at the door and reporting afterwards. The same setup runs a dinner for fifty and a public day with twenty thousand places spread across thirty six time slots. YourCrew handles staffing. Shift plans, certificates enforced automatically so nobody is assigned to a role they are not qualified for, a mobile app where crew claim shifts and clock in themselves, and approved hours locked and exported to payroll. None of this was designed from a market analysis. It was built by people who sold the sponsorships and then had to document them, ran the events for major Danish brands and rights holders, and stood there when a shift was still unfilled an hour before doors. Every feature exists because it was missing somewhere we were standing. The three platforms are independent. Customers take one, two or all three.

Cobrief is one of Norway's fastest-growing SaaS companies. In under two years, more than 2,500 companies across Europe have adopted Cobrief. We use AI to automate public tendering, an industry that has stood almost still for decades. Today we work with some of Europe's largest tendering players, and much of our growth comes inbound. This market is being created right now, and we want someone on board who wants to win it. Demand for the product is higher than ever, and we're scaling further both in Norway and across Europe, with existing customers opening doors for us. To succeed, we need talented people on the team who want to help build something internationally unique from Norway. The team consists of serial founders, developers, and AI experts who have built Cobrief from zero to one of Norway's fastest-growing SaaS companies. We're small enough that everyone has real influence, and ambitious enough that what you do actually matters. At Cobrief, distribution is part of the product, so sales has the entire team behind it. Now we're looking for a Sales Representative to join us. Someone who wants to drive our sales engine from inbound to outbound, and who wants to help scale Cobrief from Norway to Europe.

Healthcare is under unprecedented pressure. Patient numbers are rising, workforces are shrinking, and clinical complexity is exploding. Yet clinicians still spend up to half their workday on administrative tasks, navigating fragmented systems and unstructured clinical data while making fast, high-stakes decisions. Gosta is building the AI operating system for healthcare. We turn fragmented clinical data, documentation, and care workflows into structured, actionable support — so healthcare providers can reduce administrative burden, improve coordination across care teams, and make more informed decisions. Our medical-grade platform automates clinical note generation in real time, structures patient data according to institutional standards, and links care decisions to evidence-based guidelines. Real-world results show clinicians completing follow-up documentation in a median of under two minutes, freeing meaningful time for direct patient care. Built in Finland on secure, ISO 27001–certified infrastructure and developed under IEC 62304 for medical software, Gosta is already trusted by leading healthcare providers across Europe — from large private providers and public wellbeing services to specialist centers in fields like oncology. Gosta Labs was founded in 2023 by Lauri Sippola and Henri Viertolahti, the team behind Kaiku Health (acquired by Elekta in 2020). Backed by Voima Ventures, COR Group, Reaktor and others, we're on a mission to give care teams back their time, headspace, and confidence — so every patient encounter can be safer, more personal, and less burdened by administration.

Bind is the AI-native contract automation platform used by organizations like Slush to get deals from handshake to signed agreement without the delays that kill momentum. Our AI Contract Agent drafts contracts from emails, sales notes, or call transcripts — then handles the negotiation autonomously, resolving redlines, answering counterparty questions, and enforcing your company's playbook rules at every step. Instead of waiting days for legal review or losing deals to slow back-and-forth, sales teams can send a contract the moment commitment is highest and let Bind's agent manage the rest. Every draft, review, and negotiation follows your organization's rules automatically through customizable playbooks and templates. Bind also gives teams full visibility into their contract portfolio — surfacing key terms, clauses, obligations, and risks in seconds. Track renewals before they become problems, search across your entire contract library with AI-powered search, and close the gap between signature and revenue. Built for in-house legal teams, sales organizations, consultancies, recruitment agencies, and event organizers, Bind replaces the manual contract workflow with an intelligent system that gets deals signed faster — so your team can focus on selling, not paperwork.

FEESH...the feed for your fish Aquaculture is the fastest-growing food sector and is vital for meeting the protein needs of a growing global population. Yet, its growth is constrained by reliance on two unsustainable protein sources: fishmeal and soy protein concentrate (SPC). Fishmeal is produced from wild-caught fish, putting pressure on already fragile marine ecosystems, while soy production drives large-scale deforestation and carries a heavy carbon footprint. Both are also subject to volatile global markets, making aquafeed production environmentally damaging, expensive, and vulnerable. Insects, particularly Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL), are an attractive and more sustainable alternative. They can be produced locally, upcycle organic waste streams into valuable protein, and have a low environmental footprint. However, despite this potential, insect meal remains a niche ingredient in aquafeeds. The main barrier is chitin, a fiber-like polymer in the insect exoskeleton that reduces digestibility and locks away valuable proteins. This limits inclusion rates of BSFL meal in aquafeeds to just 2–8%, far below the levels needed to meaningfully replace fishmeal and soy. At FEESH, we are solving this problem by applying a precision microbial fermentation platform, enhanced with ultrasonication pre-treatment, to upgrade BSFL meal into a high-performance protein ingredient. Our process disrupts the chitin-protein matrix, making proteins more bioavailable, reducing indigestible fiber, and enriching the lipid fraction with beneficial fatty acids such as EPA and DHA. Additionally, fermentation produces bioactive peptides and immunostimulatory compounds that improve gut health and disease resilience in fish. The result is a fermented insect meal with digestibility levels reaching 90–95%, enabling high inclusion rates of >20% in aquafeeds without compromising fish growth, palatability, or welfare. By combining biological and physical processing, FEESH unlocks the true nutritional potential of insects, transforming them from a niche supplement into a viable replacement for fishmeal and soy protein concentrate. This matters because the aquafeed industry needs scalable, circular, and climate-friendly solutions. Our innovation reduces dependence on environmentally destructive feed sources, cuts CO₂ emissions, and strengthens food system resilience. For insect producers, it creates new market opportunities with higher-value products. For aquafeed formulators and fish farmers, it delivers a sustainable, locally produced protein that supports both performance and animal health. And for society, it contributes to global food security and a more sustainable bioeconomy. FEESH is pioneering the next generation of aquafeed ingredients, designed not just to sustain aquaculture, but to make it thrive responsibly.
