NRD Companies: a global GovTech player

NRD Companies is a global group of GovTech and FinTech companies specializing in the design, development/build and operationalization of e-registers and government e-services. It has annual revenue of 11 million euros (in Y2023). With offices in Norway and Lithuania and over 100 employees, the company has delivered projects in more than 50 countries.

NRD Companies was born out of Norway Registers Development, a legal IT company founded in 1996, with its subsidiary NRD Systems, which INVL Technology acquired in 2011, and was formed after the acquisition of the FinTech company Etronika in 2015.

The acquisition of Norway Registers Development in 2011 was followed by geographical expansion, with a focus first on Sub-Saharan Africa and later on the Caribbean and Southeast Asia. There was also a build-up of capabilities, as NRD Systems developed a tax administration offering and Etronika’s expertise in finance and retail was extended with the creation of a government e-services offering.
