The main piece of equipment in the gym is the barbell. It is as simple in its form as it is timeless in its design. But when it comes to using the proper safety equipment that comes with the barbell, that’s when the flaws become visible. Today’s methods of securing weight plates to a barbell is done by using collars or clips, which often lead to a poor user experience, and they are often hard to put on and pull off, can easily break or slip during lifts, they are often hard to find and even disappears. The Olympic barbell has remained virtually the same for the last 93 years, and despite today’s standards, improvements can be made. In a seemingly ever-growing market, people’s expectations of safety, design, quality, and user-friendliness in products are on the rise. Gungnir of Norway is a Norwegian startup company that designs and manufactures high-quality gym equipment. The company’s first product is the Allrounder, a standard Olympic barbell with built-in collars for securing weight plates. The built-in collar system or “SlideLock” makes the lifting experience safer, faster, easier, and more reliable than the standard safety equipment in use today. Also, the SlideLock system can be applied to several other bar types like compact group training bars or loadable dumbbells. This solution has shown enormous potential in the fitness market, which we intend to continue to take advantage of. The SlideLock is the first of many solutions that we seek to create within the fitness equipment industry. We started as a company in 2018 in Oslo, Norway, with an idea for a better solution to a problem well known to many who use weightlifting equipment regularly. Gungnir’s vision is to become the new standard solution for securing weight plates worldwide. A game-changing solution to a century old problem.

Velocity Insights is building a new class of analytical production systems that generate decision intelligence from a fully traceable evidence base. Most commonly used GenAI approaches generate narratives first and attempt to justify them during the text generation process — often resulting in outputs that are incomplete, difficult to verify, and not fully traceable to underlying evidence. Velocity Insights takes a different approach, structuring the evidence first and deriving every insight from it. This enables organizations to produce analytical outputs that are fully traceable, inspectable, and auditable — transforming how conclusions are validated in high-stakes decision environments. Designed for capital allocation and strategic decision-making, Velocity Insights enables enterprises across finance, life sciences, and technology to generate high-speed decision intelligence without sacrificing traceability or control. By combining data structuring, workflow design, and AI, the system establishes a new standard: analytical outputs that are fully verifiable, transparent, and trusted.

By combining photonics and artificial intelligence, Arcana reads biological signals directly—without labels or reagents—making it possible to generate continuous insight into health over time. Instead of relying on infrequent lab tests or reacting to late-stage symptoms, Arcana focuses on capturing early biological signals that reflect how the body responds to everyday physiological processes such as stress, recovery, and aging. Our mission is to support long-term health and longevity by shifting healthcare from reactive treatment to proactive insight. We believe health should be understood as a trajectory rather than a snapshot, and that high-quality biological data is the foundation for better decisions, more timely interventions, and healthier lives. Arcana is a deep-tech company operating at the intersection of photonics, biology, and artificial intelligence. We work on challenging problems that demand scientific rigor, long-term thinking, and close collaboration across disciplines. Our work spans hardware development, software engineering, data science, and applied biology, with a shared focus on translating complex biological signals into meaningful, real-world impact. If you are motivated by first-principles thinking, enjoy working across boundaries, and want to help shape the future of health and longevity, we invite you to apply.

You invest significant resources every single day to bring visitors to your webshop. Unfortunately, the majority of them leave again without making a purchase because they cannot quickly find or get answers to exactly what they need. And that is a shame—especially when it can actually be solved relatively easily. At Userlink, we build your very own AI agent that is an expert in your specific products. This means your visitors can instantly get the answers they need, around the clock—even when your customer service is closed. But will my customers even want help from an AI agent? Yes. 73% of Danes do. In fact, most people prefer getting fast help from AI rather than waiting 3–5 minutes for a response from a human. Is using Userlink worth the investment? Of course, several parameters come into play here. However, our customers experience that, on average, 12% of those who chat with the bot also complete a purchase after they start using Userlink. To allow you to assess this yourself, you can try it completely free for 30 days. We set everything up for you, so the only thing you need to evaluate is whether it pays off or not. Are there other benefits to using Userlink? There are, of course, several advantages, but a significant one is that our customers experience, on average, 35% lower customer service costs because the AI agent handles many customer inquiries before they reach your support team.
