What an incredible week aboard MS Søgne at Arendalsuka 🙌🏼 From dawn till dusk, the energy was electric, and the proclaimed Startup Boat was filled with insight, inspiration, learning, and solutions – and most importantly, by the presence of so many brilliant minds. We extend our deepest thanks to all who came by, to our friends at MS Søgne, our partners from TheFactory - Accelerator & VC, Mesh Community, Startuplab, and The Conduit Oslo making this happen, and everyone who contributed with thought-provoking insight Trond Riiber Knudsen, Siri M. Kalvig, Torkel Engeness, Merete Nygaard, Liv Dingsør, Håkon Haugli, Jarle Aambø, Bjarne Melbye, Bjarne Kveim Lie, Lise Fulland, Karl-Christian Agerup, Anita Krohn Traaseth, Bente E. Engesland, Birgit M. Liodden, Birger Steen +++. We’re thrilled to officially have launched NAST - Norwegian Alliance for Startups & Tech. In today's rapidly evolving global landscape, nurturing entrepreneurship and fostering technological innovation is more critical than ever. For Norway to cultivate internationally competitive companies, we must create a thriving ecosystem for startups. The launch of NAST is a significant step toward ensuring that the voices driving innovation have a powerful platform – a "speaking tube" – that amplifies their potential and secures sustainable growth for our industry. Stay tuned for what's to come! 🌱 It's inspiring to witness investors, entrepreneurs, and pioneers of innovation come together with business leaders and politicians on this unique "democracy's dance floor." This collective effort is key to shaping a future where Norway not only keeps pace but leads the charge in global innovation. Thank you, Arendalsuka, for an unforgettable week.

We're delighted to celebrate portfolio company Adamo Foods closing its £2mn Seed Round! The Adamo Steak is creating the first "ultra-realistic" and meat-free steak 🥩 based on mycelium ( 🍄 'roots'). And the one of the most important aspects: it is made from only 5 completely natural ingredients. Tremendous positive impact from replacing meat production, without compromising on taste & health. The team at Adamo Foods are exemplary and with these funds we are excited to see them scale up production and commercialisation to spark a much needed whole-cuts food revolution 🚀! Congrats to Nick Wood, Pierre Dupuis and the whole team!! Tharald Nustad, Carl Strøm Walton
We're happy to announce that we've raised £2m in Seed funding! The investment will help scale up our ground-breaking whole-cut products and prepare for commercialisation 🚀 This funding follows a series of investor and expert product tastings, where we were thrilled with the amazing feedback. The Adamo Steak is the first ultra-realistic and healthy alternative to steak, with a tender and fibrous texture, based on mycelium and made from only 5 natural ingredients. With the new funds, we're now getting stuck in increasing production to make many, many more delicious steaks 🥩 🌱 This wouldn't have been possible without our amazing team, who have been working tirelessly over the past months (thank you!). And a huge thank you to all of our investors for believing in our product and mission (UK Innovation & Science Seed Fund, Joyful VC, Beeches Group, SFC Capital, Katapult, Shake Climate Change, Rothamsted Research, Innovate UK). We're now ready to revolutionise our food system, starting with a first launch in the UK. Keep an eye out for updates 👀 #plantbased #startups #innovation #technology #sustainability #vegan #food

Yet another great day with new connections, insights, and learnings at Arendalsuka. A few takeaways: How do we get more growth companies led by women? Some measures that were recommended: facilitating entrepreneurs' leave through NAV, earmarked funds for female entrepreneurs, and increased dialogue and awareness among investors. What can we learn from Sweden? Remove the wealth tax; large capital owners contribute to a rich ecosystem for entrepreneurs in Sweden – with experience and risk capital. Both of these are invaluable if we are to ensure more entrepreneurial companies in Norway. Join us tomorrow together with NAST - Norwegian Alliance for Startups & Tech onboard MS Søgne as we continue the dialogue👇🏼 09:00-09:55 | How to solve public procurement for entrepreneurs 10:30-11:25 | Scaling Deeptech 11:30-12:30 | Growth companies and investors - is the framework for conditions in place? 13:00-15:00 | Groundbreaking changes - AI, sustainable investments & management 16:00-late | Can Norway become the world's best country to start companies in?

Hvordan AI revolusjonerer fremtidens teknologiinvesteringer? Vi står ved en skjæringspunkt der kunstig intelligens begynner å forme tidligfase investeringer. Med bare 15% av investorene som bruker AI aktivt, er det mye som står på spill. Hvordan vil økt datatilgang og avanserte AI-modeller påvirke investeringsprosessene? Kan algoritmer erstatte investeringsteam, og hvordan endres relasjonsdrevet investering? Bli med ombord på MS Søgne under Arendalsuka, og ta del i en innsiktsfull diskusjon om hvordan #AI kan omdefinere #venturekapital og #teknologiinvesteringer. Tid: 12. august, 13:00-14:30 Sted: MS Søgne, Arendalsbadet Moderator: Fredrik Winther, CSO, Katapult / Working Chair, NorthStar Impact Analytics Panel: Siri M. Kalvig, CEO, Nysnø Climate Investments; Trond Riiber Knudsen, TRK Group AS; Torkel Engeness, Venturist, Sandwater

Wow... 🤯 AI-powered materials discovery portfolio company Materials Nexus has just created a novel permanent magnet 'MagNex'. Magnets are vital to green technology across the globe (EVs, wind turbines & much more) but MagNex is uniquely:- 🌿 rare-earth free 🏭 70% lower CO2 emissions 💰 20% lower cost 🚀 designed & created in 3 months (vs 50 years)!! And the best part? Magnets are just the beginning... 🔎 🌍 Congratulations to Jonathan Bean and the entire Materials Nexus team and here's to a net-zero materials future (in months, not years)! Katapult, Carl Strøm Walton, Tharald Nustad, Jonas Skattum Svegaarden #impactinvesting #climatetech #machinelearning #materialscience #innovation
Material discovery in months, not decades. Introducing MagNex - a revolutionary rare-earth free permanent magnet and ground-breaking demonstration of our AI materials discovery platform. 🔍 Transforming R&D: Designing and creating MagNex using our platform took just 3 months, 200x faster than traditional trial-and-error techniques. 🌿 A rare-earth alternative: MagNex can be produced at 20% of material cost and 70% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to the market-leading permanent magnets that contain rare-earths which are costly and damaging. 🚀 Making green-tech greener: MagNex would make EVs, drones, and wind turbines cheaper and greener as magnets are a critical component of all electric motors. 🌍 What’s next: We’re in a new era of R&D where new opportunities, previously unimagined, can be created. Our platform will be directed at other green technologies, such as semiconductors, superconductors, and green hydrogen to accelerate the green transition. “AI-powered materials design will impact not only magnetics but also the entire field of materials science" Jonathan Bean MagNex is just the beginning – watch this space! 🧠 Read more: Featured in The Independent https://lnkd.in/ejC8iwuG How we're revolutionising material science with New Atlas https://lnkd.in/efPvYWrr The applications of #MagNex with TNW https://lnkd.in/eAkpWZwv Special thanks to Iain Todd FREng Robert Deffley Henry Royce Institute The University of Sheffield who carried out the synthesis and testing of MagNex.
