7N and Globeteam become Darize and set the strategic direction towards 2030
The Nordic-rooted, pan-European technology and hybrid security consultancy formed during 2025 now operates under a unified brand and sets the strategic direction to meet rising demand for trusted technology delivery in an age of AI, geopolitical change, and a more complex threat landscape. Darize aims to become a leading European partner for business-critical technology transformations, taking growing accountability for outcomes across the full transformation lifecycle.
October 6, 2026
- Press Release
From today, 7N and Globeteam operate under a single name, Darize, and the Group sets out its strategic ambitions. In Germany, Contractor Consulting adopts the Darize identity from mid-November 2026.
The Group was formed in 2025 through the merger of 7N and Globeteam in September and the acquisition of Germany-based Contractor Consulting in November. It has more than 2,500 engaged consultants across 24 countries, supported by a network of over 8,000 vetted professionals, and serves clients in financial services, life science, public sector, defense, energy, logistics, manufacturing, and technology. Proforma revenue for 2025 was DKK 2,314 million (EUR 310 million).
Building a leading European position in business-critical technology transformations
Darize’s ambition is to establish a leading European position in business-critical technology transformations. Fulfilling it means shifting the business towards engagements where Darize carries the delivery responsibility, deepening its expertise in AI and hybrid security, and building scale in the markets where its clients operate. The Group expects continued revenue growth and accelerated earnings as that shift takes effect.
The strategy rests on four priorities:
- In Denmark, Darize will strengthen its position across capabilities, primarily through organic growth.
- Outside Denmark, Darize will grow solutions and hybrid security in Poland, Norway, and Germany, organically and through acquisitions.
- Across all markets, Darize is expanding its AI offering from AI-accelerated engineering towards AI-led business transformations.
- Vaern will be scaled as Darize’s dedicated hybrid security brand, serving organizations that need to manage resilience across digital, operational, organizational, and physical domains.
Trusted partner
“We have brought three companies together as Darize, with the ambition to become a leading European partner for organizations whose technology transformations must succeed. That ambition requires deep expertise in AI and hybrid security, and it is why we are investing across Darize Solutions, Experts, and Vaern. A substantially larger share of our revenue will come from work where we carry the delivery responsibility, and we will build that position in Denmark and Poland as well as in Norway and Germany, organically and through acquisitions.”

CEO, Darize Group
Where expertise meets delivery responsibility
AI is changing what clients value. Knowledge is becoming a commodity, routine production is automated, and instead clients request judgment, expertise, and accountability.
For Darize, the answer is expert-led delivery. Work is shaped and carried out by experienced consultants who take ownership of outcomes, whether the task is setting direction, delivering a solution, or strengthening a client’s own team. Darize has a strong track record as a trusted partner on complex, business-critical projects, including some of the most demanding digital transformation programs in the Nordics and Poland.
The Group’s clients engage across three capabilities:
- Darize Solutions: carrying delivery responsibility for transformation programs from advisory through implementation to ongoing services.
- Darize Experts: providing high-performing experts individually or as teams where the client keeps project ownership.
- Vaern, the Group’s hybrid security unit: established to meet demand that has moved well beyond cybersecurity, and staffed by consultants from intelligence, law enforcement, cybersecurity, infrastructure, and strategic advisory. This ensures a holistic and long-term view of risk assessments.
Bringing the Group’s activities together under one brand is a natural next step in the ambition to support client transformations across Europe. For clients and consultants, day-to-day collaboration remains unchanged, and all agreements continue on the same terms.
