About Skalar
Skalar was founded in 2007 by a group of developers who wanted the freedom to decide who to work with, how to work, and how to solve problems. To be able to choose and to have a clear influence on these matters, was and still is, crucial to everything we do.
Skalar has changed over the years, and will continue to do so as we move forward. Our recipe right now is co-creating products and sustainable business models through strategic partnerships with startups and enterprises.
