About Empathix

We build technology around people.

Empathix is a Norwegian technology company developing its own digital products.

Our work combines human insight, technology, AI, product design, gaming and learning.

Today, our primary focus is Speciefy. But Empathix is built around a broader question: how can technology create experiences that genuinely matter?

How we build

Start with people.

We begin by understanding people — their needs, motivations and context.

From there, we explore how technology can create a better, more meaningful experience.

That thinking shapes how we research, design, test and build.

Our purpose

We believe the real world is still the world's greatest playground.

Our purpose is to use technology to spark curiosity about the world around us — creating experiences that encourage people to explore, discover, learn and connect.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

Technology can be used for something meaningful — to spark curiosity, encourage learning, create connection and help people engage more deeply with the world around them and with each other.

WE WANT TO HELP PEOPLE

  • Explore the world around them
  • Look closer and notice more
  • Learn through discovery
  • Be curious
  • Be more present
  • Create meaningful moments together

WHAT WE HOPE IT LEADS TO

By combining technology, exploration and play, we hope to create experiences that strengthen curiosity, knowledge and connection — to nature, culture, places and each other.

Over time, we believe that what we understand and feel connected to becomes more meaningful — and easier to care about.

Our vision

To create meaningful impact by using technology to help people explore, learn, connect and care more deeply about the world around them.
