Havguard AS

Inspired by biomimicry (animal behaviour) our technology Orcanet (tm) came to life - optimising the way technology and animals can co-exist in our oceans 🌊

In Havguard AS we use artificial intelligence to make our underwater communication system auto-adaptive to environmental conditions, designed to reduce:
 
- energy consumption
- emission power
- time the fauna is exposed to communication signals
- usage of frequency bands used by animals to limit disturbance
- usage of sound and light in communication, and more usage of the magnetic field

Our team is inspired by our love and care for animals, and based on that we found ways to reduce human impact on nature, simultaneously increasing the quality of service. 

The Orca inspired us because it has a highly complex and yet efficient way of communicating. Their communication signals are using a complex modulation scheme and is adaptable for short and long distances. It's a discrete and interesting animal 🐋

Our technology was developed based on our core values, and the same values motivates us to believe we have a role to play in developing the next generation #underwater technology 🌊

CEO Havguard | Real-time underwater communication equivalent to 5G| AI | dual-use| Norwegian 🇳🇴

Welcome to my profile 🇳🇴

I'm Emilie, a Norwegian entrepreneur and CEO of the deeptech company Havguard AS. 

The world-class expertise in Havguard has spent 14 years of work solving problems in underwater communication and sensing. This has resulted in new and revolutionary technology beyond the state of the art. Since the start of our company in January 23 we have had quite a journey; for instance we were a scouted company for the 401 Tech Bridge/ NavalX cohort BlueTIDE, on panel of disruptive technologies in NATO HQ for the Digital Ocean, venture in the selected CDL Atlantic Ocean program and last but not least a company in the Masschallange BlueTech program. 

My background (PhD.c) is from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), as well as the Nordic program for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (Karolinska Institutet, University of Oslo, University of Copenhagen, and NTNU). I have two abroad courses (Kings College of Applied Security Studies): one in “AI for national security” and another one in “Wargaming and Strategy”.

Additional to Havguard I have founded Ethica Invest (🇳🇴).

Deep tech company. Establishing eyes underwater using unique hardware and AI (underwater industrial Metaverse)

Entrepreneurs without borders

Entrepreneurs Without Borders (EWB) is a business driven non profit that aims to help local founders start and grow sustainable businesses. We have developed our proprietary framework that we call Entrepreneur2030, which is part of our vision that no startups are started without a clear idea of which global goal(s) they are trying to solve (see the UN 17 SDGs for 2030).

I got the first idea of EWB back in 2011, and started working actively on it in 2016, and 2019 we started our first pilot of our virtual campus for startups, offering workshops, lots of peer-to-peer learning, and a global alumni network with like-minded people.

Various gyms and fitness centers

I have been working as a fitness instructor since 1994. I started out at a small but great gym called Saga Motion and then moved on to Olympic Fitness in Göteborg, that was later aquired by SATS, and at the same time I started working as a boxing instructor. When I moved back to Stockholm I moved over to Kroppskultur and evolved into kickboxing and more classic boxing. After that I spent five years at World Class Vasastan and nowadays you'll find me at Nordic Wellness Odenplan Stockholm.

Nordic Innovation House

I was picked as the first Swede to go to Silicon Valley on a Fellowship in a new pilot program run by the Swedish innovation agency Vinnova. The program is a four year pilot that will send over two senior advisors per year from the Swedish innovation system for 10 months each, in an effort to create and sustain a platform for Swedish startups in Silicon Valley as well as figure out how Sweden can create a more sustainable and scalable way of exporting ideas and getting them ready for a global market.

Senior Advisor

Lohilo AB

I got the idea of creating a healthy ice cream back in 2011 but didn't act on it until 2013 when I contacted Swedish ice cream producers Alvestaglass. Together we developed Sweden's first ice cream for people who live an active life style and/or care about what they eat. 

I came up with the name Lohilo when trying to figure out what to call something that was Lo(w) on sugar, Hi(gh) on protein and Lo(w) on fat. Lo-Hi-Lo. As simple as that. 

We released the first product in June 2014 and then started distributing to shops in September and reached national coverage in only six months with a presence in over 600 stores, and the rest is as they say, history. 

The branding was done by my me and some friends and the whole thing was a by-the-book boot-strapped startup success story, growth hacked all the way, The first images on the boxes were friends from the gym, shot by a photographer that did it all pro-bono. 

The vision from the start was to create a brand that could become a health food brand, selling a lot more than ice cream, and who knows where the story will end?

Idag på Nobeldagen kommer här ett helt ojobbmässigt, obusinessigt, okarriärgrundande och oseriöst (plankar dina o-n där Charlotta Alnersson!) men varje dag på instagram så kör jag lucköppning av min julkalender som jag fick av mamma 🤗

En te-kalender med 25 teer, en för julens alla dagar (och ja 25, hon är ju engelska trots allt). 

Har tagit med mig 10 st på resan till Brasilien så jag inte missar några dagar pga resan, så det blir lucköppning på hotellrummet på morgonen innan dagen börjar. 

Idag vart det Tranbär, Hibiskus och Nypon! 🍵🫖
