LOS ANGELES and LONDON, September 3, 2025 – Marlin Equity Partners (“Marlin”) is pleased to announce that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire TIQQE AB (“TIQQE”), a Sweden-based cloud technology consultancy specializing in modern software engineering, automation, and DevOps. The acquisition of TIQQE expands Qodea’s established client base in Europe into the Nordic region, and unlocks a distributed engineering capability in the Philippines, which has helped to deliver complex solutions into production at pace.

“The acquisition of TIQQE marks a step change in our ability to deliver at pace for customers,” said Alan Paton, Chief Executive Officer of Qodea. “In conversations with their long-term clients, two things stood out. First, TIQQE has consistently proven it can take complex solutions to production quickly and at scale. Second, the agentic AI tools, processes and distributed delivery model they have built in-house are driving real efficiency and speed in delivery. We believe both capabilities will add significant value across Qodea and for our customers. We’re excited to bring them into the group and to see that value realized as quickly as possible.”

“The energy behind Qodea’s growth strategy is infectious, and we’re thrilled to be part of it,” comments Joakim Restadh, Chief Executive Officer of TIQQE. “By joining forces, we can bring Qodea’s complementary services and frontier expertise, from cybersecurity and managed services to experience design, to both our existing and new customers. It’s an exciting next chapter for TIQQE, our people and our customers.”

“The TIQQE team impressed us with their modern customer-first capabilities, including agentic AI, and attractive delivery model,” said Mike Wilkinson, a managing director at Marlin. “We believe the combination will deliver an even better service to customers by combining the TIQQE team’s speed of delivery and capabilities across Qodea’s customer base.”
