Portendo was founded in 2005, by Pierre Strömbeck, Peter Strömbeck, Daniel Svensson and Hans Mellström, to design and develop a unique system solution for threat detection and surveillance. The system tracks and identifies threats, positions them and reports the information to an operations center located at a police headquarters, defence organization, public transportation security office or security company.

Portendo has developed a break-through, patent pending sensor technology in close cooperation with experts at FOI (Swedish Defence Research Agency) and the Ångström Laboratory, one of Europe’s most advanced laboratories for materials research. Product development is carried out in cooperation with the Swedish Defence Headquarters. Portendo also cooperates with Stockholm Radio to provide a global communications network with an operations center manned 24/7.
