HoloHouse

What HoloHouse does

HoloHouse is a Swedish non-profit sustainability agency headquartered in Gothenburg that operates a hybrid model bridging academia and business. Founded in 1997 as Miljöbron and rebranded to HoloHouse in 2022, the organization provides three core service lines: (1) sustainability consulting and project management covering CSRD compliance, sustainability strategy, and organizational change; (2) digital e-learning courses (including CSRD Training, HoloScope, and an intensive EU sustainability laws curriculum) delivered through the GO+ platform hosted by TicTac on GleSYS infrastructure in Swedish data centers; and (3) recruitment services that connect companies with sustainability talent drawn from its student network.

HoloHouse's underlying technology stack combines a third-party hosted e-learning platform (GO+ by TicTac) with proprietary methodologies including HoloScope (a digital education combining e-learning with workshops linked to Agenda 2030) and the Better World Index (a framework for measuring sustainability-aligned product development). The organization's distinctive feature is its student-project matching capability, which has connected 3,700+ students from four partner universities (Chalmers, Gothenburg University, Jönköping University, University West/YRGO) with companies for sustainability projects since 1997.

The business model is multi-stream: professional services revenue from consulting, recurring/subscription revenue from e-learning course sales (one basic course priced at 795 SEK per person), professional services fees from recruitment, and managed services revenue from externally funded projects such as the 5-year Interreg North Sea SIRR project (2023–2028, covering Sweden, Denmark, France, and Germany). As a non-profit association (ideell förening) with 12 employees, all surpluses are reinvested into the sustainability mission. Customer segments include Swedish private companies (from SMBs to enterprises like CEVT, Lynk & CO, Bertling, ITAB, and Framtiden), municipalities and regional governments (Strömstad Municipality, Region Jönköpings län), and university students. The organization is governed by a board representing academia, industry, and research institutes including RISE, IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute, and CSR Västsverige.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves2 records

Emerging players

• ClimateView: Swedish climate planning SaaS platform for cities and municipalities — comparable as a Swedish-founded sustainability-tech venture serving the public sector, though focused on climate planning software rather than advisory/training.

Others

• TicTac Interactive (GO+ Platform): Swedish e-learning platform provider whose GO+ platform hosts HoloHouse's digital course catalog — comparable as an enabler/technology partner in the Nordic e-learning ecosystem rather than a direct competitor.

Broad incumbents

• South Pole: Global climate consultancy and advisory firm providing carbon accounting, CSRD support, and sustainability strategy — overlaps with HoloHouse's compliance and advisory offerings but at international enterprise scale.
• KPMG Sweden: Big-4 firm with a substantial Swedish sustainability advisory practice covering CSRD assurance, ESG reporting, and sustainability strategy — competes for the same enterprise CSRD mandates HoloHouse serves.
• Ramboll: Global engineering, design, and sustainability consultancy with a large Nordic practice covering CSRD advisory, climate strategy, and ESG reporting — competes for the same enterprise sustainability mandates but at vastly greater scale and breadth.

Direct peers

• 2050 Consulting: Stockholm-based sustainability consultancy serving Swedish companies on CSRD, ESG strategy, and climate reporting — directly comparable to HoloHouse in target market and service offering, though headquartered in Stockholm rather than Gothenburg.
• Position Green: Nordic ESG software and advisory firm combining an e-learning / SaaS platform with sustainability consulting — the closest competitor on the digital education + advisory hybrid model HoloHouse runs via GO+ and its consultancy practice.
• Novago Sustainability: Swedish sustainability consultancy offering advisory, training, and reporting services to companies and municipalities on CSRD and Agenda 2030 — closely overlaps with HoloHouse's consulting, training, and public-sector engagement model.

Regional players

• Cirio Advokatbyrå: Stockholm-headquartered Nordic law and advisory firm with sustainability practice — overlaps with HoloHouse's strategic sustainability advisory, though focused on legal/transactional work rather than training or student projects.
• U&We: Swedish sustainability strategy and reporting consultancy serving companies and public-sector clients with CSRD, GRI, and ESG advisory — comparable in service mix but lacking HoloHouse's university-network and e-learning components.
