# WINNIIO

> We help companies know where the world is heading — and turn reality into decisions with digital twins and autonomous AI.
> "Let there be impact. Fast." — Winniio AB, Gothenburg, Sweden. Contact: ceo@winniio.io

WINNIIO builds digital twins and autonomous AI for the physical world, and advises boards,
CEOs and CTOs on how to deploy them. Founder Nicolas Waern is Co-Chair of the Digital Twin
Consortium Manufacturing Working Group and an EU Expert Evaluator.

## What we do
- **Assessment & roadmap** — Where you stand, what each gap costs to close, and the order to close them in. (Open-RAN telecom · Nordic hydropower · steel plant · alpine tunnel)
- **Digital twins, built and running** — A working twin your team uses to make decisions — not a visualisation that impresses the board once. (Live production twin in weekly operational use · vendor-neutral RAN twin)
- **CDO as a Service & AI engineers** — A Chief Digital Officer without the full-time hire, and supervised agents doing real work. (CDO as a Service from €3,500/month · AI Engineer as a Service from €1,250/month)

## How to engage
- **CDO as a Service** (from €3,500 / month) — A Chief Digital Officer on the payroll of a fraction, answering to your board.
- **Digital Twin Projects** (from €2,500 scoping workshop) — Two hours, with research before and deliverables after. Credited against the project.
- **AI Engineer as a Service** (from €1,250 / month) — A supervised engineer-equivalent agent, on your integrations 24/7.
- **Advisory & Board** (€500 / hour) — Advisory calls, board seats and executive counsel, by the hour.
- **Training & Workshops** (Fixed / programme) — Executive and engineering programmes, on-site or remote.
- **Keynotes** (from €3,000 + €2,000 workshop) — Where the future is going — then a workshop on where yours is.
