Sweden’s most promising technology companies
The awards are poring over Peerialism, a company which has a strong association with KTH. Previously this year, the company received coverage in the magazines Ny Teknik and Affärsvärlden, the latter listing Peerialism among the “Hot technology companies”; and quite recently the company was placed in a top 10 list of Internet companies with considerable potential for success.
It was at the SIME Awards the other day, that Peerialism – a company that helps TV companies and broadband operators to streamline the transmission of television and video broadcasts across the Internet – was ranked number seven as one of the most promising Internet companies in the Nordic region.
In this way the company ended up in good company with international success companies such as Spotify and Tobii, which took first and second place on the same list.
Johan Ljungberg, the Managing Director of Peerialism, says that no fewer than five KTH alumni have played a major research role in developing the technology for streaming media across the Internet which Peerialism provides.
It is not strange that the company has received so many awards, he says.
“We have a technology which is experienced as exciting and which solves problems. This is what creates success and attracts attention,” says Johan Ljungberg.
At the moment, the company is working intensively with the development of a new solution for distributed storage, which is a further-development of the technology for streaming media which the company has developed.
“We intend to launch a pre-release version in the spring,” says Johan Ljungberg.
When the market for this type of service is established, Peerialism looked at the type of problems these services have, and addressed them.
“The present solutions suffer from escalating operating costs and performance problems over time. Our solution with distributed storage is intended to provide greater performance at a lower price,” says Johan Ljungberg.
