What Digitalist does

Digitalist Group Plc is a publicly listed Finnish consulting and technology services firm (Nasdaq Helsinki: DIGIGR) headquartered in Helsinki, operating primarily across Nordic markets with a headcount of approximately 120 employees. The company positions itself as a 'Digital & AI Transformation Partner' serving enterprise clients with strategy, design, and technology services, including customer experience consulting, digital transformation, e-commerce, content management (notably Drupal), digital service portals, integrations and architecture, data-driven development, and digital product development. Its named client base spans major Nordic enterprises and global brands such as Finnair, Viking Line, Honda, Posti, City of Helsinki, Spotify, Forterro, Otava, Lindström, and FINEEC.

The company has built an AI service sub-portfolio on top of its consulting practice, including Waypoint AI process mapping (fixed scope from EUR 15,000, delivered in 3-6 weeks), AI Assisted Search (which adds AI answers to existing site search drawn from the client's own content), and AI Control & Readiness (AI Hub Ecosystem) for AI governance and audit-ready compliance. Digitalist secured ISO 27001 certification for AI management in 2025 to support the governance offering. Technology delivery emphasizes composable, integration-first architecture to enable incremental modernization without full rebuilds.

Digitalist generates revenue primarily through professional consulting engagements, with pricing structured as fixed-scope pilots or longer multi-quarter programs. The go-to-market is senior-led enterprise consulting targeting Nordic leadership teams via direct consultative selling, supported by content marketing, case studies, and investor relations. Q1 2026 turnover was EUR 3.8 million (down 14.0% YoY), with FY2025 posting a loss of EUR 4.77 million. The company is in active financial restructuring, having raised approximately EUR 3.2 million in recent capital from majority shareholder Turret Oy Ab via a convertible bond and working capital loan, and equity has fallen below half of share capital triggering Finnish Companies Act provisions.
