Antire acquires Sannsyn, one of Norway’s leading and most experienced AI companies. The acquisition is a major strategic step toward establishing Antire in a leading position in the Nordics within artificial intelligence and data analytics.
Runar Vestrheim, CEO of Antire, starts, “Only very few companies have truly succeeded in this field—Sannsyn is one of them, delivering real value through AI-powered customer solutions.”
He adds, “With this acquisition, we are significantly strengthening our expertise in AI, machine learning, and data science, welcoming eight of Norway’s brightest minds into our team. Sannsyn covers a broad field that includes programming, mathematics, statistics, data analysis, visualization, and business understanding.”
Øyvind Spørck, CEO of Sannsyn, says, “In the last three years, there has been increasing talk about AI, but we have been working with this technology since 2013. Our business is about creating the best possible value from data, with a special focus on business processes. Now, we are becoming part of a larger environment and gaining the muscle to grow further and work with more customers than we have had the capacity to do until now. This allows us to offer even more comprehensive services within the various AI areas and reach a broader customer base.”
The AI revolution is accelerating at an unprecedented pace. According to IDC, businesses worldwide are making historic investments in AI, and global spending is expected to reach $337 billion in 2025. According to Statista, in the Nordics alone, the AI market has doubled in just four years, growing from $2 billion in 2020 to around $4 billion in 2024.
As AI continues to transform industries, organizations face tremendous opportunities and challenges—from unlocking the full value of their data to ensuring AI-driven solutions that create lasting business impact.
By acquiring Sannsyn, one of Norway’s most skilled and experienced AI environments, Antire is taking a significant step forward, further strengthening its position in artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and data science.
