Our story

Orbi has evolved from an idea to a thriving app that now serves students across the 
Nordic countries. By remaining dedicated to adapting to the ever-evolving digital landscape, the platform continues to grow.

Adapting to the changed landscape

 Orbi represents a pioneering solution that emerged in response to the evolving social media habits of students. For a long time, Facebook has been the preferred platform for students to create and share events. With the decreased number of younger users on Facebook, it was no longer the most obvious platform to choose for event organisers.

Our CEO, David Maars, recognised this shift and saw a gap in the market. He envisioned the significance of connecting students and making them able to see and attend campus events in a simple way. Inspired by this realisation, Orbi was born - a simple and easily accessible app that gathers all campus events in one place, simplifies event planning, and provides students with a seamless experience in finding and attending events. Along the way, the career tool was also successfully developed as a part of Orbi, providing students with an opportunity to explore various career avenues.

In this ever-evolving digital era, Orbi is committed to remaining at the forefront of connectivity and relevance. We constantly adapt our platform to meet the dynamic nature of digital habits. As we expand internationally and venture into new territories, we are excited to collaborate with students, educational institutions, and businesses to create a thriving ecosystem that enriches the lives of students and propels them towards success.
