Welcome to Nordic Edge Expo, Einar Vastveit!

Welcome to Nordic Edge Expo, Einar Vastveit! He is tackling one of the major climate challenges of our time, the 31-year-old from Finnøy – and has a NOK 22 million innovation project in the business sector, with support from the Research Council of Norway, to carry out industrial research on carbon farming. 



Carbon farming?!? 

– Agrosense aims to help farmers store carbon in the soil – and document the storage. It is said that nearly 80 percent of agricultural land in Europe is depleted. We need to address this with a clear focus on soil health. When we manage to rebuild the soil, we have enormous opportunities to store carbon in a sustainable way, explains Vastveit, who established the company in 2019. 

This is also the first year he participated at Nordic Edge Expo. 

– It is important for me to meet people from different industries, both in Norway and across Europe. I myself spend a lot of time in Brussels and am working towards participation in Horizon Europe Cluster 6 and EIC Accelerator. My goal for attending Nordic Edge Expo 2026 is to meet people I already know, get to know new ones, but also gain inspiration. You cannot achieve innovation, new jobs and sustainable value creation alone. We must meet, get to know each other and collaborate, says Einar Vastveit. 

We are proud that you are a member with us at Nordic Edge, Einar, and we look forward to seeing you at the Expo in May!
