Welcome to Nordic Edge Expo, Sara Rakstang!

February 27, 2026

Please give a warm welcome to Sara Rakstang from Repass! She will attend the Nordic Edge Expo in May – and she’s bringing a VERY smart solution in her suitcase. But first:

Where do the products you use every day actually come from? 


An iPhone can consist of over 2,000 individual components, according to ChatGPT. That includes every chip, capacitor, resistor, antenna, button, microphone – you get the idea. And that’s where Sara comes into the picture. 


"The requirements from authorities are getting tougher and tougher to document where raw materials come from, how and where production has taken place, and similar issues. Our software, which is a plug-in for, for example, the ERP system you already use, fetches data from all your stakeholders. Repass offers a digital product passport so you – and your customer – have full insight into where, for example, clothes, batteries, and furniture are made, what they are made of, and so on", says Sara Rakstang, CEO and founder of Rapasdo AS, the company behind Repass. 


Sara is a member of the Smart City cluster at Nordic Edge and she will be at the Nordic Edge Expo in May. We are proud of that!

“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!”
