What Nxtech does

Nxtech AS is a Norwegian private limited company (Aksjeselskap) headquartered in Fredrikstad with additional offices in Oslo (Forskningsparken) and Rogaland (Kverneland Næringspark), operating a multidisciplinary design and engineering consultancy founded in 2008. The firm delivers end-to-end product development services spanning embedded software, firmware, electronics, PCB design, mechanical and industrial design, data communications, AI integration (including Edge AI and TinyML on microcontrollers), project management, production planning, and EMC testing and certification. An in-house EMC and environmental test laboratory co-located with the Fredrikstad headquarters supports pre-certification, shock, vibration, temperature/humidity, vacuum, and thermal imaging testing, reducing time-to-certification for clients in regulated sectors.

The company's client base spans Norwegian and international enterprises and startups across automotive and electric mobility, industrial and process industry, consumer electronics and IoT, healthcare and medical technology, energy and environment, building technology, industrial automation, and defense. Notable client engagements include Zivid AS (3D color machine vision camera), Høiax AS (smart hot water heater), Fjordkraft (Puls real-time electricity monitor), Sensorita (smart waste sensors), Sensor Technology AS (subsea transmission meter), airMont (FireFly smart pipe sensor), Colic Button (infant colic medical device), and Green Ammo (E-Blanks electronic training ammunition). The firm participates in EU-funded research consortia including Autodrive, AI4CSM, MOSAIC, and Architect ECA 2030 alongside SINTEF, Infineon, NXP, Bosch, and Daimler.

Nxtech generates revenue through project-based professional services engagements, including full project responsibility and targeted consulting across concept, development, prototyping, testing, certification, and production setup. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is structured around project scope, complexity, and duration. The go-to-market is sales-led, driven by direct outreach, a detailed portfolio of case studies, industry expertise pages, and a referral network, with a recent addition of Google Ads paid search. Certifications held include Miljøfyrtårn (Environmental Lighthouse), GDPR compliance, and a Gender Equality Plan compliant with Research Council of Norway and Horizon Europe requirements.
