Pre-Seed Kick-Off at NorBAN x Bull Startup Spotlight
On 7 October, LOCAT3D kicked off its pre-seed round at NorBAN x Advokatfirmaet Bull’s Startup Spotlight – sharing how on-demand manufacturing can become faster, closer, and more profitable.
We had a 45-minute deep dive into how we are making on-demand manufacturing faster, closer, and more profitable – by connecting demand with qualified production capability across industries.
A core message resonated strongly in the room: when manufacturing capacity is made easier to access across sectors, it becomes a competitive advantage – not only for efficiency, but also for innovation speed, resilience, and supply security.
Why this matters (and why it engaged investors)
- Higher utilisation of national industrial capability by enabling capacity to be offered and sourced across multiple industries.
- Easier collaboration between large and small companies, reducing friction in sourcing and delivery.
- A stronger innovation and preparedness ecosystem, where SMEs and larger industrial players complement each other’s capabilities.
- Faster scaling of innovation and preparedness production, when demand spikes and timelines tighten.
- More on-demand production that improves access to spare parts, supports digital inventory concepts, and extends product lifecycles.
A sincere thank you to Advokatfirmaet Bull for hosting and facilitating, and to NorBAN – Norwegian Business Angel Network for the invitation and for mobilising the network, with special thanks to Svein-Magnus Sørensen.
