I Wizrd Solutions jobber vi annerledes enn tradisjonelle IT-hus. Én Wizrd-konsulent kombinerer forretningsforståelse, teknologi og AI – og leverer det som tidligere krevde et helt prosjektteam for å lage skreddersydde digitale løsninger. Mange SMB-er sitter fast i midtsegmentet: Generiske hyllevaresystemer dekker 80% av behovene, og de store IT-husene er for dyre og for tunge for å lage tilpassede løsninger. Vi jobber for å fylle det gapet.

Our mission is to make health sustainable, realistic, and long-term. We believe medication can be a powerful support when used correctly, but real change happens when it is combined with movement, structure, and daily habits.

We are an agtech startup driven by a clear mission: to strengthen Swedish agriculture and food production through sharing of agricultural data. Agriculture is currently undergoing a digital revolution, characterized by the use of sensors, connected devices, and data monitoring software. This advancement introduces complex challenges in terms of data privacy, security, and transparency. Data is collected in large amounts, but is locked in silos of individual products and systems. To fully leverage the benefits of this digitalization, creating a platform for effective data sharing is essential. By establishing a robust and secure infrastructure, we enable large-scale data sharing across the agricultural value chain – without compromising privacy or security. Our platform allows stakeholders, from farmers to researchers as well as the industry, to share and access data. We provide Swedish farmers with full control over their data, while also enabling the development of new applications based on data from the platform. A prime example is our climate calculation application, Agrosfär, which simplifies how to measure and report the agricultural sector's carbon footprint. We are a small but dynamic team, well-versed in data science, IT architecture, design, and UX, and in close collaboration with agricultural experts, researchers and farmers. We are here for the long run, backed by the ownership of Lantmännen, LRF -The Swedish Federation of Farmers, Hushållningssällskapet, Växa, HKScan Sweden, and Arla Sweden. The platform, as well as the climate calculation tool Agrosfär, is developed with support from the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development.

Hyre is a car sharing company that launched the first version of the platform in 2018. We are a joint venture between Møller Mobility Group and Hyre Management, with MMG as the largest shareholder. Today we are the largest car sharing company in the Nordics with over 1600 shared cars. Quick and seamless customer journey With just one app, you can book, unlock and settle the car rental - without ever having to wait in line to pick up your car. Toll, fuel, and rental prices are automatically calculated in real time, providing you with a complete overview and eliminating time spent on administration and settlement. Our vehicles are always available and our mission is to never be more than 5 minutes away from where you are. The fleet of cars is owned and operated by Hyre witch gives us complete control over the customer journey to ensure predictable and safe access to modern cars at competitive prices. We believe in a future of shared, self-driving electric cars because: 1. The car itself changes. Today's cars are connected to the internet, enabling more efficient car sharing. Furthermore, the car is now electric and in due time it will be self-driven. 2. Demographics are changing. The car is no longer an important status symbol, and Hyre sees that today's youth do not want to own a car. People want simplicity, flexibility, and freedom. 3. Sustainability is a requirement. The way we move today is not sustainable. Even with electric cars, densification in the largest cities will force alternative solutions in people transport.
