About Fortolker
Fortolker helps businesses and organizations to leverage technology, drive innovation and communicate clearly and concisely throughout the process.
Our history
It is more important than ever to "learn throughout life" – to adapt to new technology, new working methods – and through this create new opportunities and greater value. Fortolker focuses on learning and competence development through active participation in innovation and development projects. Our purpose is not only to solve challenges there and then, but to ensure that you as a customer actually learn and build competence along the way. This enables you and your business to solve the challenges yourselves around the next corner. We have extensive experience from a wide range of projects in both the private and public sectors. We help your business move forward, either on our own, or with assistance from a network of skilled partners. A focus on "doing" and delivering impact and results is central to everything we do. We are efficient, quick to turn around, and promise to treat you professionally and discreetly. Fortolker has roots dating back to the late 1990s and was founded by Håvard Røste, a curious technologist, entrepreneur and communicator with a vision of helping organisations navigate a world of rapid change. Feel free to get in touch for a pleasant and non-committal coffee chat! ☕
