YOUNG SUSTAINABLE IMPACT

Young Sustainable Impact (YSI) was started in 2016 by a group of youth in Norway who saw the cop21, Paris conference and looked ahead.We believe innovation and entrepreneurship can solve most of our challenges in the world, that youth are the driving force, and in collaboration with the experienced and established – it can be done. Innovation program: We aim to find the best talents in the world, to create impact startups to tackle the UN Sustainable Development Goals.  In Oslo we are a group of very different people, who somehow ended up together, with the same mission. We have fun, excited people who are trying their best to help people and at the same time grow into becoming that person who can influence the world in a positive direction. It's about the main goal, and not being recognized yourself - which is why any disagreement we have, turns out in a positive energy. The power of trying to get YSI to do the most good, is vital! We have found a great spot in Greenhouse, with a gaming room, ping pong, garden on the roof, (A ROOF), and other cool companies from all fields imaginable.At the same time, we work with teams in Bangladesh, South-East Asia, and China. Extremely different cultures, who also have the same goal as us. This is both hard and exciting at the same time.

Formulate

TAKE FULL CONTROL OF YOUR PROMOTION CAMPAIGNS With Formulate’s retail campaign analysis and simulation tool you can see how your promotion campaigns are performing, simulate the impact of planned campaigns and grow your profit with hundreds of thousands of dollars.  Expert areas: machine learning, signal processing technology, marketing science, retail     OUR STORY AI THAT EMPOWERS RETAIL PROFESSIONALS → Consumer insight lies at the heart of the entire retail industry, if we don’t figure out what folks want, and will want, we will not be successful. And despite this true north of our industry, we get lost. Lost in sub-optimisation between retailer and suppliers, lost in internal debates on budgets, brand market shares, or account sales. None of which are of any interest to the customer. In retail, customers vote with their wallet, they come more often, buy more items, at a higher price if they like the experience. Hence, we need to structure our analysis towards understanding the true effect of our initiatives, such as promotions. Opinions in the Age of Data It’s never been easier, nor harder, to give customers what they want. There are proverbial breadcrumbs, and actual cookies everywhere to follow. There is data, lots and lots of data. Not long ago you’d hear statements like “if you don’t have data, you’re just person with opinions”, well today we’ve arrived at “if you don’t have an opinion, you’re just a person with a lot of data”. Data is everywhere, the winners will structure that data, squeeze all the juice out of it, and then take actions. Winners will have opinions and will do something differently tomorrow, compared to yesterday, aligned with those opinions. AI that drives decision It’s inhuman - literally - for retailers to have a solid opinion without some powerful technology by their side. At Formulate we develop an AI solution that is based on years of research and state of the art machine learning. Our enables retailers to predict demand, set prices and make a range of complex merchandising decisions, but also to share insights across their organisation and cooperate more effectively with their suppliers. It enables retail professionals to have a solid opinion about what is best for their business and that makes them better at their everyday job.    ABOUT FORMULATE → Founded in 2013 Based in Stockholm Advisory board with world’s leading researchers in retail marketing  One of Sweden’s top 10 AI companies according to Dagens Industri 2017 Backed by Industrifonden since 2018  A team of dedicated engineers and data scientists

Heimdall Power

In Norse mythology, Heimdall is the all-seeing, all-knowing watchman who guards Asgard, the home of the gods. He possesses extraordinary abilities to see for hundreds of miles, hear the faintest of sounds, and stands vigilant at the Bifrost, the rainbow bridge connecting Asgard to the world of mortals, ready to sound the Gjallarhorn at the first sign of danger. Much like the mythical guardian, Heimdall Power ensures the safety and efficiency of power grids. Founded in Norway in 2016, we provide accurate, cost-effective monitoring of both grid capacity and health. We achieve this through advanced grid-enhancing technologies, combining world-leading sensors (Neurons) and software (Heimdall’s Brain) to optimize the performance and reliability of energy networks.

KROM Kendama

KROM Kendama was born to fulfill the vision of producing the highest quality of kendamas in the world while keeping it funky and relatable, striving to make kendama the biggest secondary sport in the world. Since the beginning of the company, we’ve worked on spreading kendama on a global scale. The rise and growth of the kendama community has allowed KROM to spread, and the team to travel the entire world. In 2010 KROM was founded by 2014 freestyle kendama world champion Thorkild May in hopes of igniting the kendama love wherever possible. Since then we’ve worked hard to develop the kendama culture worldwide from the KROM HQ & Shop in Copenhagen. From the KROM Shop, we host a weekly kendama club and work to support similar initiatives like kendama clubs in Colorado and Latvia. We also sponsor a large number of events every year with prizes and pro players and host events ourselves, like the 2019 European Kendama Championships. As kendama was developing across the world, KROM naturally grew with it and the ideas of creating our own kendamas and becoming more involved in the community couldn’t be kept down. In the latter half of 2012 KROM Kendama went from mainly being a crew of homies playing and distributing kendamas to starting the learning process of creating the best possible kendamas out there. Leading up DAMAFEST 2013, the North American kendama championships, KROM started to pick up steam with the recognition of the clean dama designs and crazy tricks. Thorkild May and teammate Mathias Rasmussen ended up winning the American Freestyle Championships, laying down what has become a staple of the KROM image: the signature Danish flow and the recognizably funky kendamas. Since then KROM has developed and grown even further, we’re constantly striving to represent the kendama community in the best way possible, and of course to provide the best possible products to all the supporters in across the globe. With every new kendama, we’re determined to improve both the playability and the design. For these purposes and more, we’ve gathered the most winning team in the world, composed of internationally acclaimed players with several World and European championship titles, as well as a lot of homies to help us reach our goals. We’re grateful to be able to take kendama to new heights through our work and we look forward to seeing where kendama takes us next. We’ll keep working to bring the joy of kendama to new people every single day. Kendama is unique in its ability to improve your cognitive functions and your hand-eye coordination while connecting people everywhere, even across language barriers, making us able to communicate all over the world. Kendama provides something real and tangible in a time where things are becoming more abstract than ever before. We love the toy that lets us step away from an increasingly digital world, allowing us to refresh and reconnect with the people around us. We hope that you can feel our passion and affection through the products we create. All the best, The KROM fam

Rope Robotics

Rope Robotics is the developer and producer of an automatic BR-8 robot to be used as a unique repair solution for leading edges on turbine blades. Wind turbine blades need to be repaired to maintain their high performance. With manual labor turbine blades can only be repaired 20% of the time during a year due to the fact that it requires technicians to climb up with support from ropes. Using our robot to do the repair and maintenance work in the heights, we are going to expand this repair window and to improve the working environment for the technicians. We have several robot pilots in the pipeline in various places around the world and have received major funding from the EU and Danish Government.

Brandog

Brandog is developing an AI-powered counterfeit detection and enforcement platform to help brand owners solve the problem of online counterfeiting with autonomous scanning agents that find, verify, and take down fakes across 500+ marketplaces — in minutes, not months. Online counterfeiting is a $2 trillion problem. Every brand with a digital presence — from luxury fashion to consumer electronics — faces an endless stream of counterfeit listings across Amazon, AliExpress, eBay, Shopify stores, social media, and thousands of independent websites. Today, brand protection is manual, slow, and expensive. Companies either hire law firms charging $300/hour to file takedowns one by one, or they pay enterprise platforms $50K+/year that still require human analysts to review every detection. Small and mid-size brands simply can't afford protection, and even large brands can't keep up with the volume. The counterfeits multiply faster than humans can find them. Brandog deploys autonomous AI agents that work around the clock. The Scan Agent crawls billions of pages and uses reverse image search across 500+ marketplaces to find listings that match a brand's protected assets. The Vision Agent then uses AI image comparison to score each match with precise visual similarity percentages — not rough guesses. Listings that cross the threshold are automatically escalated. The Enforcement Agent generates and submits takedown requests to platforms. The entire pipeline runs without human intervention. Brand owners upload their product images, set their scan frequency, and the system handles everything — from detection to takedown verification. A dashboard shows real-time results, match scores, seller intelligence, and revenue-at-risk estimates so brands can prioritize what matters most. We watched a friend's small consumer brand get destroyed by counterfeit sellers on Amazon. They spent months manually searching for fakes, filing DMCA complaints, and watching the same sellers pop back up under new names. They couldn't afford the enterprise brand protection tools, and the cheap alternatives were just glorified Google Alerts. We realized that the technology to solve this — computer vision, large language models, automated web crawling — already existed, but nobody had assembled it into something affordable, autonomous, and accessible to brands of any size. That gap between what's technologically possible and what's actually available to brand owners is what drives us. Every day a counterfeit stays live, a brand loses revenue, reputation, and customer trust. We're building the tool we wish existed.

Over Easy Solar

At Over Easy Solar, we are tackling the challenge of underutilized rooftop spaces for solar energy, particularly focusing on flat rooftops and green roofs, which are often overlooked due to concerns about maintenance, energy efficiency, and potential damage from traditional solar panels. Rooftops represent a significant opportunity for clean energy production, yet their potential is often untapped. Our solution is the innovative vertical bifacial solar panel, which is specifically designed to overcome these challenges. This unique panel integrates seamlessly with flat roofs and green roofs, maximizing energy output without disrupting the environment. By using a prefabricated design, we streamline the installation process, making it up to ten times faster than conventional systems while reducing costs. The vertical configuration allows our panels to capture more sunlight, especially during peak demand times, such as mornings, evenings, and winter months, increasing energy efficiency when it’s most needed. Additionally, the panels’ design ensures easy access and reduces the need for heavy ballast, making them compatible with most roofs. Our mission is to unlock the potential of underutilized spaces, contributing to the global transition to renewable energy while supporting EU energy goals for rooftop photovoltaic (PV) installations. By providing an efficient, eco-friendly, and versatile solar solution, we are helping to build a cleaner, more sustainable future.
