Our Story
Located in a scenic mountain range in Sweden, Åre may appear to be small town but it has big ambitions. In 2008 it was appointed as one of the top 10 ski resorts in the world, and has held the Alpine World Championships multiple times and will again in 2019.
Åre is reknowned for its tourism, but it also contains a vibrant start-up community of businesses and is where Wide Ideas began its inspiring journey in 2011. Seven years on, having worked with some amazing customers like Axel Johnson, Ricoh, and Thomas Cook, our passion for helping companies leverage the collective intelligence of its workforce continues to intensify.
We have a close partnership with Microsoft and make use of their Azure Cloud services for speed and security. It is this partnership that makes Wide Ideas a very attract proposition for those companies already using Office 365, looking to add innovation as an every business activity to the modern workplace.
