Rethinking regional development. Fueling circular business models. Accelerating impact startups. Attempting to solve world problems over dinner with friends and foes. We are almost there. Or are we just almost starting?

Founded in 1998 by Tom Løyche and Per Myrén, Almost there (formerly Changemaker) was born as a consultancy agency aimed to stir things up and facilitate change management. More than twenty-five years and hundreds of scribbled notebooks later, things have evolved. From Zero to One, we continue to seek situations where we can help people, organizations or societies take the first step from nothing to something. Learning is always at the center of the process; no one has all the answers, but we are smarter together. 

We’ve established, run and sold the higher vocational educational schools Changemaker Educations and Futuregames. From this we bring with us the legacy of helping thousands of students enter and make a mark on the labour market. As well as helping companies grow with new ideas and talent. Several large European and EU-funded projects have been entered to make a sustainable impact on local societies. We continue to work with a strong focus on regional development in the North of Sweden and other remote locations around the world. We’ve also bought and reimagined a 17th century farm in Boden; now acting as a testbed for our circular methodology. 

We are Almost There. We are consultants in regional development and change management. Project leaders and partners in collaborative global projects. And an Accelerator for impact startups; supporting people, organizations or societies with either big or small ambitions to make the world better.

Story in the making. Follow us in the process.
