What Forecom does

Forecom (legal entity Forecom FCE AB) is a privately held Swedish AV technology integrator founded in 1992 by Robert Hedman, who continues to lead the company. Headquartered in Stockholm with regional offices in Gothenburg and Malmö, Forecom provides end-to-end meeting room and video conferencing solutions to corporate enterprises, hospitality and venues, educational institutions, and government clients across Sweden. The company operates with a small team of approximately 16 employees and markets itself as a "helhetspartner" (complete partner), handling the full value chain from analysis and design through installation, programming, ongoing service, and user training.

The company's core product is "Mötesrum som tjänst" (Meeting Room as a Service, or MaaS), a managed offering that bundles equipment, 24/7 monitoring, maintenance, and support for a fixed monthly fee. Underpinning this is deep, certified expertise across the three dominant video conferencing platforms—Microsoft Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms, and Cisco Webex—alongside control system partners such as Crestron, Neets, and Kramer. The product portfolio spans video conferencing hardware, professional audio and hearing loop systems, digital signage, room booking systems, interactive whiteboards (SMART Board, SMART Kapp, Microsoft Surface Hub), LED walls, podcast and webinar studios, and ClickShare wireless presentation solutions. Forecom also delivers proprietary value-adds such as the Forecom Play Channel (auto-populated video-on-demand) and remote AV network monitoring.

Forecom generates revenue across multiple streams: one-time equipment sales, recurring subscription service contracts (e.g., Cisco Webex bundles at 1,498 SEK/month over 36 months), usage-based equipment and studio rental (3,500–9,900 SEK per engagement), and professional services for event production, livestreaming, consulting, design, and training. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales with a consultative, quote-based pricing model across Sweden, complemented by rental services and a content-marketing website. The company reports an installed base of approximately 100 million SEK, reflecting more than 30 years of accumulated deployment experience in the Swedish collaboration market.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Atea: Large Nordic IT infrastructure and AV/UC integrator serving enterprises across Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, and the Baltics. Competes with Forecom for Swedish meeting-room and collaboration deals but operates at significantly greater scale and as a multi-service IT provider.
• AVI-SPL: Largest global AV integrator, providing meeting-room, UC, and managed services globally. Serves as the upper-bound incumbent in the AV integration space that Forecom's offering resembles at smaller scale.

Others

• Barco: Belgian vendor of ClickShare wireless presentation and projection systems that Forecom resells and integrates. Functions as both a supplier partner and an adjacent competitor in meeting-room visualization hardware.
• Westcon-Comstor: Global distributor of UC, collaboration, and AV solutions including Cisco, Poly, and other vendors Forecom integrates. Not a direct competitor, but a channel partner and ecosystem participant in the same vendor stack.

Direct peers

• Kinly: International AV and video collaboration integrator with strong Nordic presence. Directly competes with Forecom in design, integration, and managed services for meeting rooms and UC platforms.
• Aventia: Swedish event technology and AV solutions provider offering event production, streaming, and meeting-room technology. Direct overlap with Forecom's event/hybrid production and integration services in the Swedish market.
• Braxen AV: Swedish AV integrator offering meeting room solutions, video conferencing, and digital signage across Sweden. Directly competes with Forecom for enterprise AV integration contracts in the Stockholm and broader Swedish market.
• NetNordic: Nordic systems integrator specializing in unified communications, video conferencing, and collaboration solutions across the Nordics. Directly comparable as a UC/VC integrator serving enterprise customers, including in Sweden.

Regional players

• AVEX: European AV integrator headquartered in the Netherlands serving Benelux and parts of Northern Europe. Comparable full-service AV integration and managed services model, but operates in a different primary geography from Forecom.

Emerging players

• Confetti Events: Swedish event production and livestreaming company focused on hybrid/virtual events and corporate communication. Comparable to Forecom's event/livestreaming service line, with a stronger pure-event focus.
