Imagine the immense savings – from mineral resources and manufacturing to distribution – if we could just refurbish and reuse our phones and laptops instead of discarding them prematurely or watching them become obsolete due to unsupportive software updates.
inki.tech has grabbed the spotlight, garnering support from the renowned Helvetia Venture Fund, a wing of Switzerland's premium insurance group, Helvetia. They're not alone in their vision. Fellow believers, Autonom and The Mavers, have also stepped in as financial allies.

This is not just about leasing hardware to businesses but reshaping the very essence of how companies view and manage gadgets for their teams.
The DaaS concept isn't novel. It's the framework for the new-age tech transition, ensuring businesses meet rising needs for efficiency, eco-consciousness, and flexibility. However, inki.tech's approach is groundbreaking. With a focus on Western Europe and a stronghold in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), their Dutch roots are set to spearhead a global tech revolution. Their objective? Altering the dynamics of device ownership for businesses. The shift from outright purchase to a more fluid, rental model is evident as companies become more cash-savvy and environmentally aware.
Stefano Saeger of Helvetia Venture Fund highlighted the potential of inki.tech's mission. He said, “Business transformation is imminent. DaaS is that transformative tool. inki.tech doesn’t just provide a solution, it offers a blend of sustainability and risk management.
