reMarkable is on a quest to help more people think better through technology.
They recently launched the reMarkable 2. Along the way, they transformed their digital notebook from a stand-alone product to an entire ecosystem for note-taking.
Stian Surén will take us through the challenges and opportunities when designing and developing a product from scratch, without established paradigms or guidelines to lean on.

Whee! is driving a revolution in personal transportation with a electric cargobike as a service. More flexible than public transit, more sustainable than cars, it takes away all the trouble of owning and maintaining your own cargo bike.
By designing an integrated system with their own bikes, software and services, Whee! are making cargo bikes a genuine transit option for people living in cities.

No Isolation aims to reduce social isolation and loneliness, and make difficult life transitions a little easier by developing warm technology.
So far, they have launched Komp and AV1.
Komp is a one-button computer that bridges the communication gap between those that struggle to use modern day technology, and their more tech-savvy family and friends.
AV1 is a telepresence robot that ensures no student misses a class, break time or conversation with friends. It is more than remote learning — it is the next best thing to being there in person.
