The digital solution Enerfy calculates the driver's risk in real time while driving and sets the car insurance premium based on how the driver is actually driving. Greater Than's unique AI solution can transform the entire insurance industry, and lead to a substantial reduction in carbon dioxide emissions at the same time.

During an innovation race in Shanghai, a Swedish professor had a flash of genius. By creating a special nozzle for water taps that converts wasteful jets of water into a more resource-efficient mist, water consumption could be reduced considerably. This led to the formation of the company Altered – which is currently predicted to play an important role in the fight against the global water shortage.

Swedish Midsummer sells manufacturing machinery for thin film solar cells and integrated solar cell technology for roofs.

The pilot project was successful and its evaluation resulted in the expansion of the Aitik system.

With a worldwide sphere of activity, the Absolicon company from Härnösand has moved into a top position with an invention that concentrates sunlight and generates steam and heat up to 160 degrees. The business idea is to sell robotic production lines that can mass produce the concentrating solar collectors. The robots produce one solar collector every six minutes.
