What Kombit does

KOMBIT A/S is a Danish joint municipal IT company that procures, manages, develops, and operates nationwide IT solutions on behalf of all 98 Danish municipalities. It was established on 20 May 2009 out of the former Kommune Holding, following KL's sale of KMD to EQT and ATP, with roughly half the proceeds reinvested to fund solution development. The company is 100% owned by KL (Kommunernes Landsforening), the national association of Danish municipalities, and operates under the K98 governance agreement that binds all 98 municipalities, KL, and KOMBIT into a collective decision-making structure for municipal digital investment. It is headquartered in Copenhagen S and has grown from 15 employees at founding to approximately 230-500.

KOMBIT operates a portfolio of 30+ nationwide IT solutions spanning communication (Aula, ~900,000 daily users), benefits and welfare administration (KY, paying ~32 billion DKK annually to 300,000+ citizens; KSD, 13.3 billion DKK paid out in 2024 across 2 million tasks; NemRefusion, KP), case management (DUBU used by 3,500 social workers, SAPA, Borgerblikket), citizen services (Sygesikring), election administration (VALG, first used in the November 2025 municipal and regional elections), building/environmental permitting (Byg og Miljø), and shared infrastructure (Serviceplatformen, Fælleskommunal Gateway, FLIS). Solutions are procured competitively through EU-Supply's Complete Tender Management platform, often via negotiated tenders, and built and operated by third-party suppliers (e.g., Systematic built Sygesikring) with KOMBIT/the municipalities owning source code and IP. Recent additions include the Athene data platform (aggregating FLIS and other management data) and a climate action plan AI assistant built on a reusable in-house AI platform.

The business model is subscription-recurring: municipalities pay annual fees for solutions included in the K98 agreement, calculated primarily on population (e.g., 5.30 kr per citizen per year for VALG) or, for Aula, on the number of school and daycare children, invoiced once annually in February. As a KL-owned, publicly-funded municipal cooperative rather than a commercial vendor, KOMBIT's go-to-market is a mandated direct relationship with its 98 municipal owner-customers, supplemented by a channel/technology partnership with Cognizant for AI-powered Testing-as-a-Service.
