Swapfiets started in the classic start-up way. A group of friends having a good idea and deciding to just try it out: For a fixed price a month you get a Swapfiets bicycle and we ensure your Swapfiets bicycle always works. It turned out to be a great concept. After a period of fixing up bikes ourselves, Swapfiets has now arrived at a point where it has designed its own bicycle and started spreading out the service to a growing number of cities. An epic service, made easy.

Columbia Road is a digital growth consultancy challenging the old ways of running digital businesses. We exist to increase our clients’ revenue and help them get more customers in the digital era. Our team consists of business consultants who understand business-driven design, tech, strategy and growth. We believe in giving a lot of responsibility and freedom to our employees. There’s a common misunderstanding that happy and satisfied employees are automatically motivated employees. We don’t see things that way. Happy and satisfied employees are an important priority for us, but we think causal relationship is reversed: people are happy and satisfied when they have work that motivates them. For us, an employee’s happiness is the primary goal, not a tool for raising productivity or profitability. We want to empower our employees to become a better version of themselves and to have more of an impact on the world. We see happiness & satisfaction as end goals, not starting points. That being said we love to laugh a lot, play some tunes at the office and grab a few drinks after work. What kind of work is motivating in our context? People yearn for purpose in their work and want it to have meaning that creates value: purpose, for people and organisations, comes from making an impact on the world. Meaning & significance comes from providing value to someone else — in our case, clients. Clients (not us) define the value of our actions, always. Jobs at columbiaroad.com/careers

Cognite has a unique starting point and great of momentum on its side. The idea behind Cognite came when I was working on a digitalization project with the industrial conglomerate AKER ASA.  In less than 15 years there will be over 50 billion physical assets and machines connected to the Internet, and over seven billion Internet consumers. The exponential growth of data resulting from the increase in Internet users, combined with machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) will challenge the status quo of across all industries. We believe that data handling will become a competitive advantage for industrial companies across a range of sectors. Unlocking its tremendous capabilities should not just be for an elite group of companies. Cognite makes this technology available to our customers. Furthermore we think that the most successful companies will create alliances to leverage the numerous and complex data sources. We aim to deliver breakthrough customer benefits facilitating productivity-related savings, improved operations, increased safety, and new revenue opportunities. Our initial focus is to aggregate and process data from industrial sensors and corresponding applications combining it with 3D-models to see how these sensors are related to the physical world. This enables our customers and partners to create advanced visualizations and machine learning applications for optimization and automation. Please contact us if you're interested in learning more.
