Increo

Increo, formally InCreo Interactive Creations AS, is a Norwegian software and digital-services company headquartered in Trondheim, with additional departments in Oslo and Bodø. The company develops and maintains custom digital solutions primarily for corporate and public-sector clients. Its work has included website development, web design, webshops, application development, application management, and internet hosting. The business traces its origins to Bjørviks webdesign, founded by Hallgrim Bjørvik in 1997. In 2000, the operation was converted into an employee-owned company and became the basis for InCreo. This transition marked a shift from a founder-led web-design business toward a broader software and digital-solutions organization. In its earlier period, the company placed substantial emphasis on internet hosting. Over time, its principal activities moved toward the design, engineering, and management of websites and other web-based applications. InCreo expanded geographically during the 2000s. A Bodø department opened in 2004, followed by an Oslo department in 2009, while Trondheim remained the headquarters. The company’s regional presence supported its ability to serve Norwegian organizations requiring locally delivered software development, digital design, and technical support. A central part of InCreo’s offering has been its own content management system, known as InCreo CMS. The company’s software and CMS were described as being based on Microsoft’s ASP.NET platform. This positioned InCreo as both a bespoke development partner and a provider of a proprietary platform for managing organizational websites and digital content. InCreo’s service portfolio has included IT consulting, web design, internet hosting, application development, and application management. Rather than operating primarily as a mass-market packaged-software brand, it has been characterized as a project and services business whose solutions are tailored to the requirements of individual corporate and governmental customers. Its work has also received recognition in Norway’s Gulltaggen competition for digital communication, web design, and websites, although specific award years and entries are not identified in the available material. The available reference material does not provide reliable information about InCreo’s current ownership, executive team, revenue, listing status, or present operating condition. Accordingly, those details are left unspecified.

Increo’s origins lie in Bjørviks webdesign, a web-design business founded by Hallgrim Bjørvik in 1997. The business initially operated in the emerging commercial internet-services market, where web design and hosting were closely connected. In 2000, the company was converted into an employee-owned company and developed into the organization known as InCreo Interactive Creations AS. During its early years, InCreo focused significantly on internet hosting. As the Norwegian web market matured, the company’s emphasis moved toward the development and design of websites, webshops, and broader web applications. This change expanded the company’s role from infrastructure provider to digital technology partner, serving organizations that needed both creative and technical capabilities. The company developed its own content management system, InCreo CMS. Its software and CMS were based on Microsoft ASP.NET, providing the technical foundation for the management and delivery of web content. The proprietary CMS complemented project-based services by giving clients a platform through which websites and digital information could be maintained. InCreo expanded beyond its Trondheim headquarters during the 2000s. It opened a department in Bodø in 2004 and another in Oslo in 2009. These locations formed a Norwegian regional network while the company continued to operate primarily within the domestic market. Its stated service areas included IT consulting, web design, internet hosting, application development, and application management. The company was also credited for work in Norway’s Gulltaggen competition during the period discussed in the available reference material. Gulltaggen recognizes work in digital communication and related web disciplines, so this recognition reflected the company’s involvement in web design and website projects. The available source does not identify the exact projects, clients, categories, or years of recognition. The source material does not establish later ownership changes, acquisitions, financial performance, current leadership, or a definitive present operating status. Those aspects therefore remain unconfirmed.
