Easy Urban Gardening AB

Gaia Grow System™ is the most versatile and modular vertical urban gardening system for growing vegetables, herbs and medicinal plants without using soil. With an outstanding Scandinavian design we offer the international urban consumer a plug&play tool to organize their own kitchen garden.   No more transportation of your tomatoes from far away, no more chemicals like pesticides or herbicides. The hydroponic growing technique is also three times quicker and you only use 1/10 of fresh water. We offer a unique equipment concept which makes it possible to start with a table top Gaia and expand to a triplet floor-standing Gaia which only takes 1 sqm of your floor space and will produce all the families need of leafy greens. Live a sustainable life and grow your own health.Easy Urban Gardening AB, a research and development company wants to go commercial. • Partner with Seedrs.com, a London based crowd funding platform.

Brighteco AB

The Pitch We accelerate the shift to a more sustainable whole through circular economy. The What Sustainable habitats make heavy demands, for example, on planning, construction and management of both new and pre-existing settlement. Quality, knowledge and competence in the construction industry have a very important part to play in this connection. Housing and commercial premises account for roughly 30% of Sweden’s end use of energy and for about 7% of its total emissions of greenhouse gases. Electricity accounts for nearly half the sector’s energy use, followed by district heating (30%) and biofuels (10%) The How We are in the business of Enlightenment. Brighteco sells light as a continuous deployment service (LaaS). The customer pays to access the right light in the right place in exchange for an annual fee/sqm. All our products can therefore be individually adjusted and updated over time, and manufactured on recycled hardware without harm to the environment. A close relationship with the customer creates opportunities to use our infrastructure to create services related to security, information (gathering and communication) and facility management. • System of continuous deployment of hardware and service • Light sources that can be upgraded and adjusted • Recycled old flat screens as hardware • Integrating IoT Brighteco drives ideas and projects aimed at effectively maximizing the income from private and public sector activities in the short and long term. We do this by gradually adapting production, use and / or disposal of goods or services to the concept of sustainable development. The Why Since 2018, there is an ongoing shift in the Swedish market from buying lamps as a product to subscribing to Light as a service. Bollnäs Kommun (municipality) was the first public purchaser in Sweden, focusing on the aspects of light and sustainability at a larger scale, choosing Brighteco as their supplier. The contract is for 10 years, installation in classrooms is ongoing.

Mutual Benefits Group, MBE

1. In Mutual Benefits Group we aim to improve properties and society’s climate impact by AI. The tool DEEP (Digitized Energy Efficiency Portal), has been developed by Smartergy* to optimize buildings and its equipments energy performance with Machine Learning in real time to help property owners and tenants to understand and improve their energy consumption. Today we work together with Chalmers (Digitalisation/AI) and RISE (Energy Management) with support from VGR and EU. *Organized under MBE until investor is chosen. 2. DEEP utilize adaptive AI control instead of manual analysis and control. Results in lower energy consumption, lower cost, risk mitigation if co-workers quit and less climate impact. Investments in energy efficiency also stimulate the economy, in particular the construction industry, which generates about 9% of Europe’s GDP and directly accounts for 18 million direct jobs. MBE together with other SMEs(Small and Medium sized Enterprizes) would particularly benefit from a boosted renovation market, as they contribute more than 70% of the value added in the EU building sector. (EC, Energy performance of buildings) DEEP stimulates to tangible optimization in the company Time saving - relieves employees up to 60% to do other important things. Energy & Cost Savings - in addition to 15-50% energy savings, data collection and "automatic facility manager" pointing out next equipment to update. DEEP contributes concretely to Agenda 2030 goals: 7 - Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all. 7.2 - Substantially increase the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix. 8 - Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all. 13.3 - Improve education, raise awareness and human and institutional capacity for adaptation, early warning indication, climate change mitigation measures and its consequences. 3. We have committed co-workers (MSc, PhD) within SW-dev, Test&Verification, Project management, Power Electronics and Quality assurance. We support the automotive industry amongst other technologies with Machine learning for Autonomus driving vehicles. We have performed a demo version of the DEEP tool at a sawing mill and are since 2019 performing a Pilot Case for one a big facility owner (revenue 10,6 B€) for an office building of 4500 sqm in Gothenburg. The DEEP tool optimizes buildings energy efficiency by measurement, logging, analyzing and control the buildings equipment and manufacturing machines by AI. Large buildings* HVAC system are usually controlled by a PLC. DEEP communicates (read&write) with the PLC by OPC server, API or other interface. The data is stored in the MySQL database which is read from the AI-unit, who analyse the data through a data driven Deep Reinforcement Learning, DRL algorithm. The control signal is communicated to the PLC who controls the equipment. The DRL gets a positive or negative reward depending on the step. *Offices, Schools, Hospitals, Hotels, Industrial facilities, enough sized condonomiums. 4: The DEEP story 2017 we wanted to create an easy-to-understand product, with advanced technology, giving our property owners and tenants lower costs, improved climate impact and more time for important value-adding things. After several years in climate-smart real estate solutions, we found that property management could receive valuable support from AI-based tools that automatically identify the optimal where and when it shall control, and automatically does it. MBE has experience of technical assignments in autonomous driving vehicles. We are confident with AI algorithm development. We would like to transfer our knowledge to the real estate industry, as it nevertheless contributes to almost twice as much climatic impact as road transport (IEA, Digitalization & Energy, 2017) Therefore we develop DEEP (Digitized Energy Efficiency Portal)…
