Allight is a vehicle-tech company developing new generation of exterior vehicle lighting to reduce fatal accidents and to increase global road safety. Around 200,000 lives involving motorcycles, scooters and mopeds are lost each year in traffic worldwide (WHO, 2020). 45% of all fatal accidents occur in corners outside populated areas due to bad visibility, lacking exterior lighting performance, poor road conditions and the human factor. Allight is developing new adaptive headlight technology for the OEM and aftermarket, thus eliminating the dark spot that the rider experiences and increasing the overall road safety as an important step towards zero road fatalities or serious injuries involving road traffic. The company holds several granted and pending patents worldwide for its innovative technology.

Zoly is the first automated online marketplace for buying and selling secondhand fashion to men. The clothing industry is currently standing as the worlds second most polluted industry, right under the oil-industry. It is estimated that around 85% of our clothes end up in landfills or burned according to calpirg.org. Comparing the CO2 emission of new clothes vs secondhand clothes, it is estimated by thredUP that new clothes has a 5,7 times higher CO2 emission. Our mission is to change that. We want to make secondhand the future mindset of clothing by attracting sellers and buyers to our marketplace where we have developed an automated system that makes it unbelievably easy for the seller to sell his/her clothes and for the buyer to easily filter through thousands of preowned clothing items as well as having a return-policy so the customer can always shop safely.

Runners and cyclists have GPS to measure their workout performance, while strength training and functional fitness athletes have nothing. Except for Wodscribe. Our core technology uses smartwatch sensors to measure movement during training and can infer the exercise type and count the number of repetitions automatically. On top of this foundation we're building a product that that shows the athlete the information they need to optimize and improve their training routine. The athlete obviously already knows how many repetitions they did, they might not be aware of their time under tension, range of motion, variability in repetition speed, rest intervals, etc. Since Wodscribe knows every single repetition, all of these valuable insights can easily be calculated and the athlete can be made aware of their inefficiencies.

We aim to simplify how employees and key resources can gain ownership and take part of the value created within a company. All companies are different. And the incentive scheme for one company might not suit the next. An incentive program should not be “just a document” signed by an employee and stored in a drawer. A successful incentive program is built around its ability to generate the feeling of ownership and motivation, and its ability to align the interests of the employees with those of the owners. Through our software and expertise we assist management, founders and companies to achieve their optimal incentive scheme. We believe in ownership and its inherent motivational effect, and wish to enable more companies with powerful tools in order to achieve this.

EMerald Geomodelling is a spin-off from the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI). Though we are a young company founded in 2019, our business is built on a decade of research and development at NGI. We are creating a tool that revolutionizes the way we build roads, railways, tunnels, and other types of infrastructure towards a more sustainable use of resources. By using AI to detect patterns and manage uncertainties, we provide critical insights early on in large building projects that help our clients make better decisions. Why do we do this? Worldwide, building infrastructure costs billions of dollars. Too often, actual costs go way over budget. These extra billions spent are a huge burden on society. Our mission is to lessen that burden. By helping our clients build roads, railways, and tunnels with fewer costly interventions, we help free up funds for other worthy social and environmental goals.
