About us

The change isn’t born ready

Engineering is more about gradual art of optimization than one big leap. While new, more sustainable technologies are developed on a wide front, we are still far from perfection. There is always room for a more resource-efficient, more elegant and smarter solution.

Smartom is an enthusiastic group of creators for whom the latest solutions are already commonplace.

We are boldly at the forefront of change, even if it means a break from more conservative thinking. Innovation is at the heart of what we do, solving problems where no established practices exist. Backing our boldest ideas with facts and solid reasoning, we don't walk with our heads in the clouds. Our vision extends beyond individual projects, united by a shared belief in the power of change.
