The expansion has already shown remarkable results. Just a few days after launching in Japan, the country accounted for over 50% of Klang’s new daily users.

“A few days ago, 0% of our new users were from Japan. On Saturday it was 50.4%. More people signed up from Japan that day than from every other country we sell in, put together.”

said Andreas Argelius, CTO and co-founder Klang

The decision to enter the Japanese market aligns with Klang’s mission to close the performance gap between English and other languages in speech technology. By specializing in individual languages, Klang has been able to outperform general models, a strategy that began with its focus on Swedish.

At the current speed the startup estimates that in a couple of weeks total sign-ups from Japan might be higher then from all other countries. This growth highlights the demand for high-quality, localized speech technology and underscores Klang’s ability to deliver performance and trust in non-English languages.

Palette is building a platform where companies can integrate AI agents into their workflows without being locked into a single model or vendor. The technology allows teams to retain ownership of their context, workflows, and knowledge while maintaining the flexibility to switch between AI models as needed.

“We’ve worked with this founding team before, and it’s one of the strongest and most complete teams we’ve backed. They saw where AI work was heading before it was obvious. We believe Palette can become the operating layer for teams adopting AI across the whole company. That’s why we led the round.”

says Andreas Green Rasmussen, Partner at Ugly Duckling Ventures

The company’s first product, Palette Desktop, is already in use by its initial paying customers. These early adopters include teams in sales, operations, and product development, not just engineering. Users can deploy agents like Claude Code and Codex on their own files and folders, opting for cloud-based models when speed or cost efficiency is a priority, or local models for more sensitive tasks.

Palette’s broader OS, which includes a company-owned context library, shared skills, and seamless tool integration, is currently available to design partners. The platform aims to make AI adoption more responsible by ensuring that models remain interchangeable while company context remains durable.

“There will always be a newer model. The responsible way to adopt AI is to make the model swappable and make your company context durable. That’s what we’re building with Palette.”

says Brian Kyed, co-founder of Palette

Palette Desktop is available now for paying customers, and companies interested in the broader Palette OS can apply at palette.team. The new funding will be used to expand sales efforts and grow the team.

The platform brings ticketing, POS, hospitality, kiosks, merchandise and CRM together in one ecosystem, giving clubs and event organizations greater control over their sales and deeper insights into their visitors.

Recently the startup launched its integrated inventory management. This enables sportclubs tracking real-time stock levels of drinks, snacks, and merchandise, helping them avoid the risk of running out of essential items mid-match. Developed in response to direct requests from clubs, this tool addresses a key need for digitalization and efficiency in sports operations. The platform offers full control over stock value and storage locations in real time, consolidating all inventory, from central warehouses to kiosks, match storage, and online stock, into one system.

With a growing customer base, strong customer ratings and partnerships with increasingly large clubs and event organizations, Liveday continues to build momentum. The new capital will support further investments in technology and the team, while preparing the company for expansion into new countries and markets.

The contract represents a substantial step forward for Parkster, which is reported to have spent months preparing for this rollout. The first phase covers off-street parking, with garage integration planned for a second phase.

“Our goal is to continue offering our customers a simple and reliable parking experience. With the Parkster app, we are using an established solution that serves as our digital sales channel for parking,”

says Andreas Wieneke, CEO of DB BahnPark

This deal not only strengthens Parkster’s presence in Germany but also enhances its credibility and visibility in the region, already attracting new inquiries since the announcement.

“We are proud that DB BahnPark has entrusted us with this important digital service. For many travelers, the journey doesn’t begin and end at the platform, it starts and finishes with the drive to and from the parking area. Parkster is a reliable companion for both everyday and work-related trips. We look forward to welcoming train travelers as users and making parking as simple as possible for them.”

says Elin Keim, Country Manager Germany

Rapidus also reports in the news, and that Parkster’s financial outlook remains strong, with the company on track to process €180 million (SEK 2 billion) in parking fees this year. However, the majority of these funds flow through to municipalities and landowners, while Parkster’s net revenue, derived from value-added services linked to its app, is projected to reach € 27 million (SEK 300 million) in 2026, which is a 20% growth from the previous year.

Beyond Sweden and Germany, Parkster is also reported to have secured a new contract in Vienna, Austria, reinforcing its focus on these three key markets. While the company currently prioritizes these regions, further announcements may be on the horizon later this year.

Founded in 2010 by Henrik Hallgren, Parkster has grown significantly over the years. Henrik Hallgren remains the largest shareholder, followed by the Eklund family and co-founder Anders Davoust.

Gainable’s engine, Gaia, connects to Google Sheets, Excel, HubSpot, Attio, Folk, Stripe, Airtable, Jira, and more, reading field names, data types, and relationships to generate a tailored app. Connecting to one source is only half of it. Gaia can combine several sources into a single app, reading across them and mapping the relationships between them as though the data lived in one place. No exports, no copy-paste, no reconciling separate systems by hand. From there users can refine the app, publish it, and share it with their team, all in minutes.

The platform addresses a common workplace challenge: teams rely on manual exports, reformatting, and distribution because existing tools like Salesforce or Power BI are built for leadership dashboards, not day-to-day operations. Gainable fills that gap, creating apps shaped around real workflows, not just reports.

“Everyone’s betting the model keeps getting better and carries them along. I think it matters less and less. What lasts is the system you own, not the model you rent,”

says Rickard Hansson

Unlike traditional dashboards that only display data, Gainable apps act on it. Gaia monitors data in real time and drafts actions for stalled deals, overdue accounts, or at-risk SLAs, which users review and approve, reducing delays and keeping work moving. The approach is already working with names like GEICO, Deutsche Telekom, and Macmillan Learning.

Most tools in this space lean on ever-larger frontier AI models to generate each app. Gainable is built the other way around: a deterministic engine does the construction, with the AI kept to the edges.

Voi, a leading micromobility provider with over 160,000 vehicles across 130+ cities in 13 countries and more than 450 million rides served, is one of Sweden’s most prominent startups. Last week, Levtek delivered and commissioned its Levkart units at the Poznań facility, where they will improve operational efficiency and assist in the refurbishment of high-mileage scooters.

The partnership highlights the practical applications of integrating perception and autonomy into large-scale micromobility operations.

“Great example of how quickly the micromobility industry is maturing — from just deploying vehicles to actually re-engineering the operations behind them (refurbishment, logistics, autonomy) at serious scale. Poznań clearly punching above its weight as a hub for this kind of innovation. Exciting to see what perception + autonomy unlocks for warehouse ops once it’s proven out here,”

said Radosław Piwowarski, Site Manager at Voi Technology in a post

Levtek has raised funding from Inflection, PSV Tech, Ellipsis Ventures and FOV Ventures.

This latest deal propels Omnidocs past €27 million (DKK 200 million) in annual revenue, marking a significant milestone in its journey toward global market leadership in enterprise document, presentation, and template management.

Xink’s expertise in email signature and campaign management complements Omnidocs’ existing offerings, strengthening its ability to streamline business-critical communication for organizations of all sizes.

“The acquisition of Xink brings strong competencies, new customers, and a position that aligns perfectly with the direction we are moving in. Regardless of industry or size, all businesses work with documents, letters, presentations, templates, or other forms of business-critical communication. We already hold a significant market share in the Nordics and Europe, but our goal is to set the global standard for how businesses manage their content within a few years. The market is enormous and holds great potential. Therefore, this is only the beginning of our journey.”

says Jeppe Schytte-Hansen, co-founder and CEO of Omnidocs.

The company already holds a strong market position in the Nordics and Europe, but its ambition is to set the global standard for how businesses manage their content within the next few years.

With over 6,000 customers, including BDO, SEB, Copenhagen Municipality, ATP, Chr. Hansen, Arla, Bang & Olufsen, GN, Stadt Zürich, Demant, and Coloplast – Omnidocs is rapidly expanding its footprint. The company now has offices in Denmark, the UK, the Netherlands, Germany, and Switzerland, with its largest markets in the U.S. and Northern Europe.

“Many of our 4 million users spend a significant part of their workday collecting data, writing emails and messages, and preparing documents and presentations. If we can save them 15–20% of their time, that’s truly significant.”

says Jeppe Schytte-Hansen

The rise of AI-generated content has accelerated the need for document production, but it has also introduced new challenges. While AI enables faster content creation, businesses face increased pressure to ensure quality, accuracy, and consistency, especially when documents are shared with customers, authorities, citizens, and investors.

“AI can undoubtedly improve efficiency, but it doesn’t address the need for quality, precision, and control. Both public and private companies work with large volumes of documents every day, and errors, inconsistent formats, and lack of oversight can quickly have serious consequences for the business if credibility is undermined or the right requirements aren’t met. That’s why there’s a need for solutions like ours, which not only streamline workflows but also enable faster document production without compromising quality and security.”

In connection with this round, Almi Invest Greentech and LRF Ventures become new minority owners of NFA. All existing owners, Navigare Ventures, Sveaskog, Södra Skogsägarna, and Almi Invest Syd, are following up on their initial investments in NFA.

”The development of operator support and automation is moving rapidly forward across all vehicle types, and NFA is leading the way in forest machinery. Succeeding in physical AI requires a highly competent team, vast amounts of training data from real production environments, and long-term financing. In our vertical, we are now uniquely equipped with a strong position across all these pillars,”

says Lars Svensson, CEO and co-founder of NFA.

NFA’s proprietary software provides forestry machinery with the unique ability to measure trees in real time, continuously supporting the operator during execution. Today, NFA’s first product, an operator support system for thinning, is deployed on forestry machinery in real-world commercial operations across 7 markets on three continents. During 2025 and 2026, development and testing commenced for next-generation products, which include tree species identification, stem shape measurement, and semi-automation.

“Through its technology, NFA delivers direct customer value with clear efficiency gains in a large market. At the same time, the solution provides substantial climate benefits to forestry, with increased volume growth and better resource utilization of the harvested forest,”

says Erik Madeyski Bengtson, Investment Manager at Almi Invest GreenTech
