Acquisitions and Organic Growth
Mr. Hägg will be a key driver when WPTG intends to selectively acquire complementary businesses across Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland that offer strong delivery capabilities, sector specialisation, or customer bases aligned with the company's high-value offerings in AI, data analytics, cloud transformation, and enterprise solutions. These acquisitions will not only expand the regional footprint but also accelerate synergies with existing IP and managed service platforms. At the same time, WPTG is investing in organic growth by deepening local client relationships, scaling delivery centres, and cross-selling group-wide innovations to Nordic enterprises looking for global reach with local expertise.
