GRADION

GRADION is a Digital and Deep Tech Consultancy that diagnoses technology problems and then implements the fixes with its own engineering teams, rather than handing over a report and walking away. The firm's method is deliberately diagnostic: examine the system, read the data, and prescribe what is broken, what needs to change, and in what order - then execute the treatment with 320 engineers deployed across four continents. Operating under the Gradion name since 2023 after two decades as NFQ, the company traces its origins to Lithuania and works across digital engineering, software development, process and task automation, systems modernization, and flight and travel metasearch.

The scale of that engineering work is its distinguishing feature. Production systems built or maintained by Gradion carry more than $10 billion in GMV annually, and automation deployments run more than 20 million tasks each month. As an engineering partner, the firm fields dedicated teams of unusual size: up to 150 engineers across four offices have served HomeToGo, whose journey from founding to a EUR 1 billion IPO in 2021 Gradion supported throughout. The company's founder, Lars Jankowfsky, previously built Swoodoo, Germany's leading flight metasearch engine, acquired by KAYAK in 2010.

GRADION operates across four continents, with presence in Vietnam, Singapore, Bangkok, Cairo and Hamburg. Its expansion into Asia rests on a stated market thesis rather than a cost argument - a conviction that Asia constitutes a third axis of global technology alongside the United States and Europe, and that the firm intends to be inside that axis rather than merely pointing at it. Pricing is set to reflect how the company is built, not where it is headquartered, and the consultancy's engagements tend toward long-term client partnerships in travel technology and beyond.
