Through test & development

The test & development lab

We know that organisational and ways of working often is triggered by a physical change. How does our work environment, tech and tools function as a platform for us as humans to grow, develop and perform?

In order to be able to study remote interaction, behaviour, technical equipment, and applications, we are currently building a test and development hub in the heart of Sweden, surrounded by mountains and pristine nature – in the town of Östersund, Jämtland. Since people move to this part of the world because of the lifestyle and proximity to nature, we couldn’t think of a better place to develop the next generation of tools and practices for remote work. Together with our collaboration partners, we will offer a wide variety of possibilities for efficient remote collaboration and interaction.
