12 DATA, IT & ELEKTRONIK

Neo4j invented the graph database category, turned it into a billion-dollar market, and it all started in Malmö. The company is now the global leader, employing over 700 people and currently valued at over SEK 20 billion! Graph databases are revolutionising the way companies handle vast amounts of data. They uncover the relationships between data points, extracting tremendous value and insights that other technologies simply can’t compete with.

Neo4j enabled NASA to get to Mars faster (and cheaper). Neo4j is also working to find cures for diabetes and cancer, is combating financial fraud, and helped Pfizer roll out their COVID-19 vaccine.

Neo4j is building this technology right here at their global engineering headquarters on Nordenskiöldsgatan, close to Malmö Central Station. We spoke to a recent alumni from LTH who is working with this Swedish success story. Read up on Louise’s experience below!
