The company

History

In 2010, Ginntech AS was established (Norweb at that time) by Svein Iversen and Agnar Ødegård. Both then worked at Sør-Trøndelag University College. The idea for Ginntech's first product, Edutorium, came as a result of Svein and Agnar being close to the professional staff's frustration over cumbersome processes and poor system support. "There must be a way to do this better!".

The Norwegian higher education sector has undergone a major development in the last 10 years, and Ginntech has been involved all the way. The institutions have undergone mergers, increased digitization and an increasing focus on quality. The close collaboration we have had with our good (and demanding) customers has led to Edutorium today appearing as a mature and robust product. At the same time, Ginntech has taken the step over to new areas. Data analysis, decision support and artificial intelligence have been technical disciplines we have been curious about. New employees have arrived, with experience from new industries. And this is how Ginntech has grown into what we are today. A tech company with more products, a broader customer base and more committed employees.

In 2024, Edutorium will be launched internationally. The first step is to our neighboring country in Scandinavia. This is the start of what we believe will be an international adventure.
