Elastic Move joins Co-native

We are pleased to announce our joining of Co-native, the new Nordic cloud specialist group. This move allows us to add our AWS competence, strong cloud culture, well-known global enterprise customers, geographic presence, and headquarters in the south of Sweden to Co-native—building a multi-cloud powerhouse.

Co-native, “The Home of Nordic Cloud Specialists,” is the Nordics’ first group of cloud specialist companies, offering customers tailored solutions for cloud and digital transformation. Co-native was co-founded in 2022 by Fredrik Arnander—a tech entrepreneur and investor—together with Linus Lindström and Robin Kindberg—the founders of Xenit AB. The group has a strong experience in the cloud industry, tech entrepreneurship, and investments. In 2022, Co-native joined forces with financial partner Segulah.

As part of Co-native, we will retain our autonomy, name, specialist culture, organization, corporate brand, management, customer relations, and legal entity. Employees will continue to work as normal, enabling us to better utilize group synergies and meet growing requirements for sales and recruitment.

“We are excited to welcome Elastic Move to our group of cloud specialists, adding both a strong cloud culture, unique AWS competence, and a base in the south of Sweden. Co-native’s ambition is to be the most attractive alternative for cloud specialists, and we are happy that Elastic Move choose us for their future growth journey” - Fredrik Arnander, Executive Chairman, Co-native

“With Co-native, we have found the right partner for Elastic Move and our company’s future growth journey. Having evaluated several alternatives, we think Co-native offers both the right business understanding and cultural fit, based on entrepreneurship and cloud skills. As a company we will continue to build on our own strong company culture while enjoying the resources and synergies in a larger group with both AWS and Azure capabilities, as our customers are already multi-cloud” - Per Sevrell, co-founder and CEO of Elastic Move
