Niclas Lilja, founder and CEO, sees a promising trajectory ahead, emphasising plans to strengthen Younium’s presence in existing strongholds while exploring opportunities in emerging markets.
Lilja says, “Last year saw significant growth and the acquisition of new clients in 15 countries, accompanied by substantial internal expansion.”

Younium claims to have secured a foothold in the Nordic market with clients like Quinyx, Superoffice, and Topdesk. Now, it aims to expand across all of Europe.
Emelie Linheden, Marketing Director at Younium, adds, “We’ve maintained our position as the category leader in the Nordics and Benelux for an extended period, but we’re now also seeing an increased demand for a specialised solution to oversee advanced B2B subscriptions, among B2B SaaS companies all across Europe.”
“We want to seize this momentum and further increase our market share outside of the Nordics and Benelux, as well as in North America.”
Since 2022, Younium has rapidly expanded, venturing into the North American market and forming a local team. CEO Lilja and another team member have relocated from Europe to lead this initiative.
