Meltwater News
Founded by a Norwegian entrepreneur, Meltwater News is a global provider of real-time media coverage, industry trends and market competition. As an international company, Meltwater News uses its business-to-business media search engine to assist in the compilation and maintenance of its portfolio of large-scale, well-respected organizations and Fortune 500 companies.
Worldwide Expansion
Meltwater News was founded in Oslo, Norway in 2001 with a starting capital of only 15,000 US dollars, and has grown into a corporation with a powerful worldwide presence and over 40 offices on six different continents. The firm boasts hundreds of employees and claims over 10,000 corporate clients in the Unites States, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia, all of which have sought Meltwater’s unique intelligence service to gain an edge over their competition.
Innovation
Meltwater News has consistently taken advantage of its unique ability to innovate and utilize resources. Meltwater News has been cash flow positive and profitable since day one of its operations, and has never required external funding. Meltwater News has grown organically since its inception, and has done so without incurring debt.
Jørn Lyseggen
Meltwater News’ Chairman and CEO Jørn Lyseggen credits the company’s national and international success and prosperity to its ability to recognize, develop, and utilize potential within its employees, the company, and the market as a whole. Nowhere is the company’s resourcefulness and vision more apparent than in its creation of the Non-Profit Meltwater Entrepreneurial School of Technology (MEST) in Accra, Ghana, where promising young students are trained and given the tools to become the future leaders in technologically based fields.
Technology
The technology behind Meltwater News was derived from research initially financed by the Norwegian Science Foundation. What began as a simple project has since become a global operation that services some of the world’s most powerful and recognizable nonprofit organizations and companies, including oil and gas corporations, healthcare companies, and hospitality businesses.
