About Tobias Lindholm
In 2014, Tobias Lindholm co-founded CPH Innovations, not as a VC-backed unicorn play, but as a deliberately small Copenhagen-based lab where engineers, designers, and municipal planners co-developed open-source tools for public-sector digital procurement. His breakthrough wasn’t a product launch, but a policy intervention: he helped draft Denmark’s 2017 Digital Procurement Act, which mandated interoperability standards and banned vendor lock-in in government tech contracts, shifting €2.3B in annual IT spend toward modular, auditable systems. Lindholm insists that scalability isn’t about growth metrics but about replicable governance: his team’s ‘collaboration stack’, a set of shared APIs, documentation templates, and cross-organizational sprint rituals, has been adopted by seven Nordic municipalities without licensing or central oversight. He speaks Danish with technical precision, avoids English jargon like ‘synergy’ or ‘disruption’, and measures leadership not in funding rounds but in how many civil servants feel empowered to fork and improve the code they use daily.
