The 99x Group has emerged as a leading force in the global tech landscape, with seven companies from Norway, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Brazil, and Portugal uniting to strengthen its position in product engineering services, IT consulting, and web solutions.
Bringing together more than 600 employees worldwide, the group includes Seeds, LeanOn, Nextly, Cleverti, Incrementi, Clave, and 99x Technology. 99x is now poised to become one of Norway’s larger players in digital product development, continuing its rapid expansion after establishing a solid foundation over the past two years.
Odd Sverre Ostlie, Group CEO 99x commented, “This is a significant milestone for us. Bringing our companies and people closer enables us to combine innovative thinking with deep technological expertise seamlessly. This strong foundation allows us to address our customers’ business challenges more effectively and deliver digital experiences at an entirely new level. We will continue to grow the group through healthy organic expansion, alongside strategic acquisitions in the Nordics and internationally.”
Hasith Yaggahavita, CEO of 99x Sri Lanka, said, “Our growth journey and global presence expanded in 2021 when we established our headquarters in Norway. This milestone paved the way for a series of strategic acquisitions, starting with Seeds Consulting Norway in 2021, followed by Nextly and LeanOn in Brazil, and Cleverti in Portugal in 2023. The most recent acquisition, Clave Consulting Norway, occurred in September 2024. These acquisitions align with the 99x Group’s strategy and each company’s unique service offering and I’m thrilled that this will create even more global opportunities for our employees to engage in complex technical challenges.”
Chrishan de Mel, Chief Marketing and Corporate Affairs Officer 99x added, “Rebranding to 99x across most of our group companies is more than just a name change, it signifies our commitment to evolving and enhancing our service offerings. Our clients can expect the same dedication to excellence and innovation that has always defined us, now strengthened by the expanded digital expertise of all the companies within the 99x Group.”
