What Consid AB does

Consid AB is a privately held Swedish technology and digital transformation consultancy founded in 2000 in Jönköping by Peter Hellgren and Henrik Sandell, both still active in leadership. The firm employs more than 1,800 experts across 45+ offices in six European countries — Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Germany, and Poland — and serves over 700 active customers including large enterprises (ABB, Scania, SSAB, Handelsbanken, ICA, Telenor, Folksam, E.ON), public sector organizations (Oslo Municipality, Göteborgs stad, Stockholms stad, Polismyndigheten), and SMBs. The core offering spans IT consulting, software development, cloud solutions, SAP modernization, AI-enabled services, and digital communication, delivered through specialist consultants, full teams, or long-term partnership models.

Revenue is generated primarily through professional services fees on bespoke digital transformation engagements, with no public pricing or productized SaaS offerings. The company has expanded entirely organically without external venture or private equity funding, reinvesting profits to finance international growth — including entry into Norway (2021), Denmark and Germany (2022), Finland (2023), and Poland (2023-2024). Beyond core consulting, Consid operates several branded initiatives: Q by Consid (an equality and inclusion platform spanning Q Meet, Q Mentoria, Q Balance, and Q Community), the Next Level Academy trainee programme, and the annual Considition sustainability hackathon. In 2024 the company received Master Gazelle status from Dagens industri after 10 consecutive Di Gazelle awards, was named IT CEO of the Year (Peter Hellgren), and won multiple Globee Awards including Excellence in Digital Transformation. In June 2026 Consid announced a flagship "Transform Europe Together" partnership with Schwarz Digits focused on European digital sovereignty.
