WHAT WE STAND FOR.
We are a unity of experts and we believe in knowledge.
Our Vision is to
Enable the Unknown.
Together with our partners, we want to keep pushing boundaries to enable high ambitions. Not just because we can, but to make tomorrow better than today, for as many as possible.
Our Mission is to
Turn Technology Into Value.
With knowledge as the foundation we turn technology into value for our clients and the society by bridging the gap between research, technology and business.
Our Promise is to
Evolve Thinking.
We strive to constantly be in motion, evolve the way we think and think evolutionary.

We strive to constantly be in motion, evolve the way we think and think evolutionary.
We live by the following Core Values:
Expertise
The meaning of true knowledge is to know that you know nothing. Therefore we constantly strive for more experience by searching new knowledge and insights through an open mind.
Enthusiasm
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. Therefore we want an open inspiring and fun environment built on trust and tolerance.
Evolution
The only thing that never changes is that everything changes. Therefore we are not just part of a change-leading context, we are in it to lead it.
At Qamcom we believe in knowledge. We also believe that it’s important to share, exchange, develop and keep knowledge. Therefore, we work with a concept called Circular Knowledge. We describe it as an information model that aims to retain, elevate and retrain as much expertise as possible from employees by administrating, mentoring and communicating knowledge and experience.
When we asked Chat GPT for a definition, it stated the following:
“Circular Knowledge highlights the idea that knowledge is dynamic, evolving, and built upon previous insights, forming a holistic and interconnected web of understanding. It encourages a multidisciplinary approach and acknowledges the importance of considering diverse perspectives and disciplines to gain a comprehensive understanding of complex phenomena.”
Role based organization without management
At Qamcom we work with a role-based and decentralized organization without a traditional hierarchy to enable a more creative, agile and responsive approach to needs and development – something that we think leads to increased knowledge-share, increased innovation, progression and productivity and accelerated personal development. Our organization is based on three principles: Self-management, Holistic view, and Evolution.
Two-way mentorship philosophy
We work with a two-way mentorship philosophy meaning that as much as we value mentorship from a more senior perspective, we equally value input from the younger generation’s perspective. So, depending on the context or situation you can be either the mentor or the mentee. Our dynamic two-way mentorship setup stimulates knowledge exchange from every perspective creating a creative and evolving environment. Every new employee gets an appointed mentor to begin the symbiotic cooperation.
Technology platforms
Through our 20-plus years in fast-moving technology we have created various solutions within software, hardware and systems, resulting in several technology platforms. Platforms, mainly within radar, telecom, Industrial AI and IoT have and can be re-used and adapted for other clients and projects. Not only ideal for knowledge-sharing and people development, it also saves time and money for our clients. This is a good example of circular knowledge where we constantly strive to keep the essence of our development alive within the company.
Open-source technology
Qamcom is working within the vibrant open-source ecosystem. We reuse what is already available to achieve our goals fast and contribute our learnings and expertise back to fill in the gaps and nourish the ecosystem. This is true both for traditional open-source software and for the emerging world of open-source silicon where the way microchips are being designed is rapidly evolving.
Internal domains
At Qamcom, different domains have been established organically with the purpose to share and increase knowledge between people that share the same interests and experience.
Examples of domains today are: Software, System Safety, Project Management, AI and IoT, PCB, Certifications, Systems etcetera. Only the imagination sets the limit of what could be a domain or not in the Qamcom world. Are enough people interested? Then a domain can be created.
Transparency
We believe that transparency is an essential part of Qamcom’s success. Our view is that transparency, in both good and bad times leads to more secure and engaged employees. By openly sharing information we want to create an environment built on trust and inclusion.
We also believe that collaboration and communication improve as everyone has access to the same knowledge, at any time. Embracing transparency enables us to thrive in today’s fast-paced and ever-changing technology and business landscape. To share information and inspiration internally we work with a dynamic intranet, arrange monthly lunch meetings, a monthly distributed newsletter etcetera.
Patents
At Qamcom and within Qamcom Group several patents have been created. As an organization committed to growth and innovation, we believe in protecting and showcasing our intellectual property. That’s why we place immense importance on obtaining patents. Patents not only serve as vital proof of our innovative prowess and technical expertise but also demonstrate our dedication to advancing technology and staying ahead of the curve.
They validate our commitment to driving innovation, attracting investors, and forming strategic partnerships. To us, patents showcase the ability to leverage existing knowledge, promote knowledge-sharing, and contribute to sustainable and resource-efficient solutions.
Research projects
Qamcom is an active research project leader on both the Swedish and international level. We contribute to research development by leading or being engaged in various technology projects, ranging from detailed algorithm development to product portfolio discussions, system definitions and technology management. Our staff have written thousands of published research articles in international journals and contributed to many industry conferences. Working with the technologies of tomorrow provides us with new perspectives on the current technologies and gives the concept of Circular Knowledge a completely different meaning.
On-site engagement
At Qamcom, we mainly work with in-house projects, often functioning as our clients’ external R&D department. However, we encourage all employees to occasionally take on on-site assignments for two main reasons. Firstly, to add our rare Qamcom expertise and create a “Qamcom effect” at the client’s location. Secondly, to gain knowledge from specific clients and contexts that can be brought back to Qamcom for further development – and create a circle of knowledge.
Sustainability
As a part of Qamcom Group, we look at sustainability in a broad sense – including both social and environmental sustainability. We are strong advocates of a fair, free and collaborative global society and we are members of UN Global Compact as well as certified according to ISO 9001 and 14001.
Environmental sustainability
With knowledge as the foundation and technology as the tool we want to contribute to a more sustainable society from multiple angles – always aiming for projects that can make tomorrow better and more sustainable than today. Through Qamcom Group, we also work with various ways to compensate our own impact.
Social environment and Code of Conduct
Our people is our most valuable asset and it is important that we create and develop a workplace environment that is inclusive, psychologically and physically safe and developing for everyone in it. To this length, we have created policies to clarify our stance in relation to these areas. In summary:
Equality policy
- Drugs and abuse policy
- Sexual harassment policy
- Workplace environment policy
- Rehabilitation policy
- Whistleblowing
