Increo

What Increo does

Increo AS is a Norwegian design and technology agency founded in 1997 and headquartered in Trondheim, with a secondary office in Oslo. The firm offers a portfolio of professional services spanning design-driven innovation, data-driven business development and AI, web and application development, brand design, process management, GDPR consulting, and ongoing operations and maintenance. It targets a horizontal mix of Norwegian enterprise, public-sector, cultural, healthcare, retail, and SMB clients — including Helsedirektoratet, Santander, XXL, Britannia, AtB, and Ecura — and reports assisting approximately 140 businesses annually under project-based and consulting engagement models.

The company's delivery is built on a technology-agnostic modern stack including Sanity, Umbraco, Webflow, WordPress, .NET, React, and Shopify, with headless system architecture as a recurring approach. Its proprietary asset is Bragi, a custom digital platform for symphony orchestras (deployed at Trondheim Symfoniorkester and Arktisk Filharmoni) that handles rehearsal scheduling, concerts, and collaboration. Increo monetizes primarily through professional services — design sprints, workshops, custom development, and retainer operations — with pricing not publicly disclosed and a free two-hour strategic opportunity workshop offered as a lead-generation entry point. The firm has not raised external funding, is privately held as an aksjeselskap, and is led by CEO Morten M Wikstrøm and Agency Manager Sebastian Krohn.

Strategic positioning emphasizes Nordic design principles, cross-functional teams from day one, and design-sprint-driven rapid validation. AI capabilities are layered on third-party generative tools (ChatGPT, Midjourney, Dall-E, GitHub Copilot) and Azure-based data pipelines, used both internally and as a client-facing service line. Recognition includes the 2025 Gulltaggen Gold Tag award (Soleliten project) and Miljøfyrtårn environmental certification.
