Collective Minds: Building a Global Health Tech Platform with Flexibility at Its Core
Founded in 2017, Collective Minds is a Swedish health tech company on a mission to revolutionise medical research and diagnostics through collaboration. As the company scaled rapidly, its team outgrew its original office setup. The need for a flexible, functional workspace became critical.
The Goal
Collective Minds was founded with a clear vision: to make medical collaboration easier, faster, and more secure.
Their platform allows researchers, hospitals, and pharmaceutical companies to share anonymised medical imaging data in compliance with GDPR, removing silos and accelerating progress in cancer and radiology research. By building a secure, cloud-based platform for sharing and analysing medical imaging data, they are enabling faster, evidence-based discoveries across Europe and soon, globally.
With major university hospitals and pharma partners such as Karolinska and Oxford among their collaborators, Collective Minds has become a trusted player in Europe’s medtech ecosystem.
As the company scaled rapidly, its team outgrew its original office setup. The need for a flexible, functional workspace became critical, one that could evolve with new hires, hybrid work patterns, and project-based collaboration across teams.Traditional furnishing models proved too rigid, both in design and investment. The company needed a sofficeolution that supported both agility and sustainability.
NORNORM's Solution
NORNORM provided a modular office solution enabling Collective Minds to easily adapt its workspace for different functions, from collaboration zones to focused areas. As new team members joined and roles evolved, the office could be quickly reconfigured without waste or additional investment.
NORNORM’s circular furnishing model provided the ideal match: Flexibility to reconfigure layouts as the organisation grows and shifts focus. Sustainability through a reuse-driven model aligned with Collective Minds’ commitment to responsible innovation. Ease and speed furniture can be swapped or reconfigured as easily as scaling the cloud platform itself.
The Outcome
With NORNORM, Collective Minds has created a workspace that mirrors its own mission: scalable, collaborative, and sustainable. The team can now focus on driving medical innovation, knowing their workspace will evolve alongside their growth.
This flexibility supports not only operational efficiency but also a culture of innovation and wellbeing, essential for attracting top talent in the competitive health tech sector.
Looking ahead, Collective Minds aims to expand in Europe and establish a stronger presence in the US market, building the world’s largest collaborative platform for medical imaging. As the company continues to scale, NORNORM hope to remain a strategic partner in supporting its journey towards a more connected and sustainable healthcare future.
