Birdsview develops a platform that combines ground-penetrating radar, LiDAR and proprietary algorithms to turn sensor data into 3D models showing rebar position, thickness, cracks, voids and corrosion without drilling. The company launched its first concrete product in January 2025 and after beginning direct pre-sales in March 2026 customers in nine countries adopted the system within weeks. Birdsview started by building sensors to detect rot in wooden utility poles and expanded the approach to concrete; it was founded by Olav Skogen and Simen Husøy while students in Trondheim. The company operates from Bergen and Oslo and has 14 employees. Since launch it has scanned over 100 structures and counts clients such as Vinci, Bouygues Construction, EllisDon, Sweco, Asplan Viak and Rambøll. Customer examples include a Bergen contractor that used Birdsview to map rebar under a basement, saving about 200,000 NOK and two weeks of work.

Visibuilt, founded in 2023, develops visiBINDER, a fermentation-produced mycelium binder designed as an alternative to fossil-derived bitumen and cement for paving and infrastructure. The company says its process can bind aggregate at near-room temperature, potentially reducing energy use and manufacturing emissions versus conventional asphalt production. Visibuilt has moved beyond the lab with industrial testing partnerships with NCC and Munck Asfalt, a strategic development partnership with Denmark’s leading concrete paver manufacturer IBF to create visiPAVER, and trials with Copenhagen Municipality. The startup is headquartered at the Alfa Laval Innovation House near Copenhagen and runs labs and pilot facilities at the Danish Technological Institute, employing roughly 18 people. Its near-term plans, supported by the €3.34 million seed raise, are to scale production capacity, validate the solution at larger scale, and expand its technical and commercial team. Visibuilt still faces regulatory hurdles, including the lack of an EU standard for non-oil asphalt binders and the need for CE marking before broader road deployment.
