heyData GmbH

Bankdata has been building financial IT infrastructure for the Danish banking sector since 1966. Owned by nine Danish banks - which are also its customers - the company operates as a cooperative, developing, monitoring, and improving the digital products and core systems those banks depend on. With around 1,100 employees and development centres in Fredericia (its headquarters), Silkeborg, Aarhus, and India, it is one of Denmark's largest financial IT development companies. The scale of the systems involved is considerable. Bankdata's core banking infrastructure processes 86 million transactions, and the platform used by bank employees to carry out daily operations sees a million logins per day. Its digital products are used by every third Dane and by 200,000 companies, making the underlying technology a quiet but significant piece of Danish financial life. The technical scope spans core banking systems, platform engineering, transaction processing, software development, IT operations, and cybersecurity. Engineers at Bankdata work on systems where reliability and security are non-negotiable - the kind of infrastructure that cannot afford downtime and must be built to withstand threats. Because Bankdata is owned by its customer banks, its mandate is straightforward: build and run the best possible systems for those banks, without the competing pressures of external shareholders or unrelated product lines. Teams work across the full stack of financial IT, from customer-facing digital products to the deep infrastructure that keeps transactions moving.

Hoxhunt is a Helsinki-founded cybersecurity company, established in 2016, that operates a SaaS platform designed to reduce human risk in organisations. Its core proposition is turning employees into active participants in cyber defence rather than treating them as liabilities to be managed. The platform combines AI-driven personalisation, behavioural science, and gamification to deliver security training that adapts to each user - rewarding progress rather than penalising mistakes. Beyond simulation, Hoxhunt also offers real threat detection and prevention tools, positioning the product as operational security infrastructure as much as a training environment. The platform sits within the enterprise security training market, targeting organisations seeking to build measurable security culture at scale. The company has grown at over 50% year-on-year and now employs more than 230 people across offices in Finland, the United States, and the United Kingdom. It describes itself as one of Europe's fastest-growing SaaS scale-ups. Internally, Hoxhunt emphasises outcome-focused work, direct communication, and employee ownership. Teams are expected to take initiative and operate with a degree of autonomy, with performance measured by results rather than time invested.
