We are a bunch of techies* with a passion for
TV-series, movies and games. We spend our days (and nights) helping show biz
and the telecom industry adapt to the digital consumers needs and wants.
It all started with an insight about us, and about our
friends:
- How come it’s
easier to watch movies illegally, online?
And since we believe people want to be nice we started to develop new tech platforms where ease-of-use, inspiration, and entertainment experience is key.
Our solutions and business cases clearly states that when you provide consumers with great user experience – just like at the movies, but now in your smartphone – they prefer paying for content.
Our clients include major carriers all over Scandinavia, Europe and the Middle East.
*a technical expert, or enthusiast, especially in the field of electronics.
VionLabs is a Swedish Tech Start-up with offices in Stockholm and Barcelona. Since 2009 they have developed digital eco-systems for carriers, cable networks and internet providers – with focus on user experience.
