Fynd Reality AS, commonly referred to as Fynd, is a Norwegian software company specializing in training and education solutions using VR and AR (collectively known as XR). Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Hamar, Norway, the company develops the Fynd CORE platform, which utilizes XR technology to create realistic training environments for professionals across various industries.[1]
The company's flagship product is the cloud-based SaaS platform Fynd CORE, which received a major update in August 2023. The platform is device-agnostic, supporting VR headsets, desktop computers, tablets, and mobile devices.[2]
Fynd has provided solutions to high-profile organizations including the United Nations, NATO, and the Norwegian Armed Forces.[3]
History
Fynd Reality AS was founded in 2017 in Hamar, Norway. The company was previously known as EON Reality Norway AS.[4]
The company's roots trace back to 2009, when current CEO Knut Henrik Aas co-founded Crisis Training AS with Morten Wenstad. The focus was on improving training processes within the military and public sector. This expertise established the networks and collaborations that eventually led to the formation of Fynd Reality over a decade later.[5]
Many of the company's initial employees were recruited from the VR and Game Development programs at the Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences.[6]
In 2021, the company rebranded as Fynd Reality following a change in ownership structure. The name "Fynd" is derived from Old Norse, meaning "force" or "convincing," reflecting the company’s mission to create a meaningful impact on professional learning.
In 2023, in collaboration with the NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA), Fynd developed the "Virtual Joint Operations Centre" (VJOC). Built on the Fynd CORE platform, this solution uses virtual reality to visualize operational data and enable multi-location collaboration in a shared digital operations room, aimed at enhancing situational awareness and decision-making.[7]
In August 2025, Fynd Reality was awarded a major contract by the Norwegian Ministry of Defence valued at NOK 82.5 million. Part of the Nansen Support Programme for Ukraine, the contract involves delivering a world-leading virtual training platform to support the training of Ukrainian forces.[8][9]
