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!

“I’m looking forward to meeting other people who make a difference. I’m looking forward to meeting those who both want to, and can build societies that can withstand crises. I’m looking forward to gaining new insights, sharing experiences, and being inspired by skilled people who want to collaborate—people who invest their energy in building alliances in times of peace. That’s why I’m excited for Nordic Edge Expo!"

“I want the Expo to be edgy, forward-looking, and to provide insights and solutions that will matter in the years ahead. In everyday life, it’s far too easy to fix your gaze on your own shoes, to look down at the ground—but to find the right direction, you have to lift your eyes. That’s what we’re going to do at Nordic Egde Expo in May. And I’m really looking forward to it!”
