Viran is the AI layer for government contracts. We are an AI-native public procurement service that finds the public tenders a company can win, reads every document behind them, and produces the bid. Public buyers in the EU spend roughly 14% of GDP through competitive tendering. Every one of those contracts is decided on paperwork, and the companies best able to deliver the work routinely lose them, either because the opportunity never reaches them or because they misread a requirement and are excluded before anyone scores their offer. The work that decides a public tender is not sales work. It is reading. Somebody has to find the right contract among thousands, open the annexes and the draft agreement, separate the pass-or-fail qualification requirements from the scored award criteria, and be honest about whether this company can prove what the buyer is asking for. Done properly that is a specialist day per tender, which is why most companies bid on instinct, hire a bid consultancy, or never bid at all. That reading is what our agents do, at a volume no bid team can match. How Viran works: 1. Discovery. We monitor open 100,000+ weekly public sales opportunities across the Nordics, the EU and beyond, and surface only the contracts where you are a credible bidder. 2. Analysis. We read the full document package for each one: technical specification, draft contract, annexes, qualification requirements and award criteria. 3. Fit. We judge each tender against what your company can actually prove, and tell you plainly when the answer is no. 4. Bid. We produce the response. You review and submit. Viran serves manufacturers, software companies and service providers selling to the public sector in Finland, the Nordics and across the globe, including foreign vendors entering markets for the first time. The result is that public procurement stops being a lottery you enter occasionally and becomes something you run continuously, on the contracts where you are the strongest bidder in the room.

Devai helps software teams turn AI coding tools into real engineering results. Most companies are experimenting with AI, but adoption often stalls: leaders push top-down initiatives, teams use inconsistent tools and prompts, code quality varies, and developers lose time debugging weak AI output. The result is lots of activity, but little measurable productivity gain. We solve this by working directly with development teams inside their real codebases and workflows. We help with selectin the right tools (for example Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot), help refining team-level ways of working, and coach developers on best agentic coding practices. Instead of generic training, we deliver practical, hands-on training that immediately applies to day-to-day engineering work. Why this matters: AI changes fast, and most teams need partner-level guidance to adopt it safely and effectively. Devai closes that gap and helps engineering organizations ship faster with better consistency, quality, and confidence.

Geniebelt builds software that helps construction companies deliver repeatable projects faster and more predictably. Construction still runs on spreadsheets, emails, and manual coordination. This becomes especially painful for companies building the same type of project again and again — like residential developers running dozens or hundreds of projects at once. Geniebelt turns repeatable construction into repeatable systems. Our platform standardises project workflows, coordinates teams and subcontractors, and provides visibility across many projects so companies can plan better and reduce delays. Founded in 2012, Geniebelt has supported construction teams for more than a decade. In 2026 the company was spun out as an independent business again — bringing a fresh startup mindset to the next generation of the platform.

VAEV is an AI-first platform for building internal business applications. Most companies run critical workflows on spreadsheets, emails and manual processes, but they don’t have enough developers to replace them with proper tools. Traditional software projects take too long, cost too much and are hard to maintain. We solve this by letting business teams describe what they need in natural language. VAEV then generates, hosts and operates the application directly on top of the company’s own systems, with governance, access control, auditability and data sovereignty built in from the start. The focus is not on quick demo magic, but on creating systems that can be trusted and maintained for many years. Over time, customers can extend and adapt their apps using simple prompts. Once the core data model and application foundation live on VAEV, teams can create new workflows, variants, and reports without starting over. In short, VAEV turns business intent into reliable software and gives organizations a faster, safer way to build and evolve the internal tools that run their business.
