CardiNor AS is a Norwegian biotech company established in June 2015 to develop and commercialise assays for secretoneurin (SN), an important new biomarker for cardiovascular disease (CVD). We are now developing an easy-to-use blood test for SN to help identify patients with heart disease who will benefit from ICD (Implantable Cardioverter defibrillator) treatment. The current technology available for measuring SN is an RIA (radioimmunoassay) not suitable for routine or clinical use. We are developing a new test based on ELISA technology that is very well established in both clinical research and routine and can easily be adopted on high-throughput platforms such as Cobas by Roche and Architect by Abbott.

Desert Control is a ClimateTech company specialized in turning arid soil and deserts into green and fertile land. Through a patented formulation process using clay and water, we create a unique compound called Liquid NanoClay (LNC). Applying LNC to arid soil and desert sand enables and enhances the soil's ability to retain water and nutrients, and can thereby turn deserts into fertile green land. The result is savings of up to 50% of irrigation water and increased yields with less strain on scarce resources. Restoring and improving soil with LNC enables land areas to withstand the harsh impact of climate change and overexploitation better.

We have developed a new and natural carbon capture and storage method, which uses Marine snow to remove atmospheric CO2. The GEA@275TM carbon dioxide removal technology could remove upwards of 8 billion tons CO2 annually, about 20% of the world’s yearly CO2 emissions. We have developed a new underwater survey system to quantify our CO2 removal, but this equipment will also enable researchers to sufficiently understand and calculate the CO2 budgets of the oceans. Our first product will be sale of this equipment to research vessels and ocean research institutions. Thereafter, when the GEA@275TM carbon dioxide removal technology has been tested, verified, and approved for commercialization, we can sell verified CO2 shares on the fast growing carbon markets.

Our mission is to help stop plastic pollution by leading the way by exporting our eco-friendly water Pure Blue of Norway. Our packaging is 82% plant based and has a footprint which is 74% less than a plastic bottle. Our oceans are being killed by plastic and someone has to lead the way. We also have a partner in WATERisLIFE which is a non-profit organisation securing safe drinking water for children in need in 46 countries. For every bottle being sold they will have more funds to save more children. So there are two very good reasons why everyone should buy Pure Blue of Norway instead of plastic water. 1-Save the oceans from plastic pollution. 2-Help saving children's lives.

Vake automatically detects dark ships in satellite images. Ships that turn their AIS (ship tracking system) off commonly do so because they want to perform some illicit activity, such as illegal fishing, smuggling or covert military operations. With multispectral satellite images it is possible to apply deep neural networks to automatically detect and classify ships, ship sizes and direction, including dark vessels.
Vake will help:
- Create and independent control of the AIS
- Identify hotspots for dark vessels
- Identify areas exposed to spoofing attacks - as AIS is GPS-based, matching erroneous, spoofed AIS messages with the true location of the same vessels found in satellite images
