Three major challenges in Sweden are the "Swedish Paradox" of high R&D investment not leading to more innovation, a lack of venture capital for early-stage energy companies, and the need for larger amounts of funding in early stages beyond $1 million for lab verification. The agency addresses these challenges by providing financing support through loans and networking opportunities to startups.

Hvordan bruke innovasjon til å få flere til å reise kollektivt?
NSB-konsernet står midt i en stor endringsprosess. De vil at enda flere skal reise kollektivt, og tar i bruk tre virkemidler for å få til dette: transport fra dør til dør, et smart kjøp, og et godt kundemøte. Dette lykkes de ikke med alene, men krever godt samspill med både offentlige aktører og gründervirksomheter med morgendagens innovative, kreative løsninger på transportutfordringene. De skal dele et par konkrete eksempler på innovative forretningsmodeller som er skapt i samspill med flinke gründerbedrifter, og som forhåpentligvis kan få enda flere til å reise kollektivt i fremtiden.
Kristian Kolind er direktør for mobilitetstjenester i NSB-konsernet, der han jobber med å realisere nye mobilitetskonsepter som f.eks. delebiler og selvkjørende busser.

Mentor, rådgiver eller samtalepartner?
Christian Erichsen - Gründer og mentor
Når det stormer som verst, hvem skal du spørre til råds? Hvem kan gi deg svarene på det du skal gjøre - når ingen har gjort det før? Mest sannsynlig kan ingen gi deg rett svar, men flere kan dele historier fra egne erfaringer i tilsvarende situasjoner - og ikke minst være en samtalepartner og aktiv lytter for å diskutere med noen som har vært i lignende situasjoner tidligere.
Christian Erichsen. 20 års erfaring med teknologiledelse fra større offentlige og private IT prosjekter til mindre oppstartsselskaper. 14 år som grunder og de siste 4 årene som tidligfase investor og rådgiver for flere teknologiselskaper. Har selv vært med på hele reisen fra ide til internasjonal suksess, iblandet opp og nedturer, finanskrise og ymse kriser. Siste prosjektet er etableringen av Bergen.Works, et privat co-woriking space for vekstbedrifter der erfaringer, kompetanse og ressurser deles blant likesinnede.

Per Arve Frøyen - Teamleder gründer @ Innovasjon Norge Vestland
Per Arve vil gi en innføring i hvordan Innovasjon Norge jobber med gründere. Mange tenker at finansiering er det viktigste i selskapets tidligste fase, men det kan ofte være lurt å tenke nettverk og kompetanse først. «Det er ofte et godt tegn når gründere ber om mentor før de søker finansiering», sier Per Arve. Innovasjon Norge har nettopp gjennomført en ekstern evaluering av mentorprogrammet, og vil presentere rykende fersk innsikt om dette viktige programmet.
Per Arve er teamleder gründer i Innovasjon Norge Vestland, og har jobbet med oppstartsbedrifter i Innovasjon Norge i 9 år. Før det var han i ulike stillinger nasjonalt og internasjonalt innen blant annet sjømat og retail.

Hilde Støle Pettersen - Partner @ Momentum Partners
Hilde vil gi en innføring i hvordan Momentum tenker når de vurderer selskaper til sin portefølje, og vise et rammeverk som publikum kan velge å bruke i sin egen vurdering av deltakerne i dagens pitche-konkurranse. Det finnes dessverre ingen fasit på hvilke selskaper som vil lykkes, men det har likevel en verdi å gå systematisk og analytisk til verks i vurderingene. Samtidig vil det komme frem at det viktigste (og vanskeligste) å vurdere er ting som ikke så lett lar seg måle i trafikklys eller tall.
Hilde er partner i investeringsselskapet Momentum, som fokuserer på fasene såkorn og tidlig venture. Momentum er en aktiv eier og Hilde har styreverv i flere av porteføljeselskapene. Der bistår hun med bl.a. i strategiske valg, med forretningsutvikling, finansiering, forhandlingsstøtte og økonomistyring. Før Momentum kom Hilde fra The Boston Consulting Group der hun primært jobbet med strategi, organisasjonsutvikling og lønnsomhetsforbedring i en rekke bransjer, alt fra IT og media til matvareproduksjon og humanitære organisasjoner. Hilde har en mastergrad i finans fra NHH og en bachelorgrad i økonomi og administrasjon fra Université de Toulouse 1 i Frankrike.

5 Tips for Creating Standard Financial ReportsEasyReports
Well-crafted financial reports serve as vital tools for decision-making and transparency within an organization. By following the undermentioned tips, you can create standardized financial reports that effectively communicate your company's financial health and performance to stakeholders.
Fabular Frames and the Four Ratio ProblemMajid Iqbal
Digital, interactive art showing the struggle of a society in providing for its present population while also saving planetary resources for future generations. Spread across several frames, the art is actually the rendering of real and speculative data. The stereographic projections change shape in response to prompts and provocations. Visitors interact with the model through speculative statements about how to increase savings across communities, regions, ecosystems and environments. Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.

Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.
"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

STREETONOMICS: Exploring the Uncharted Territories of Informal Markets throug...sameer shah
Delve into the world of STREETONOMICS, where a team of 7 enthusiasts embarks on a journey to understand unorganized markets. By engaging with a coffee street vendor and crafting questionnaires, this project uncovers valuable insights into consumer behavior and market dynamics in informal settings."
In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.
