Nothing existed between long-term apartment rentals and short-term hotels. Especially for young temporary employee workforce, this was a problem; hotel option was often too expensive and the rental apartment too permanent. To fill the gap, entrepreneurs Markus Oksa and Mikko Leppänen created Forenom and recruited Johannes Kangas to lead the company. Forenom provided move-in ready serviced apartments for employees working temporarily in another city. Strong foothold in accommodating project workers in Finland Forenom CEO Johannes Kangas was in his twenties when Forenom started and indeed he grew up together with Forenom. In 2010 Forenom already had a strong foothold in accommodating project workers in the manufacturing and construction industries in Finland. Forenom has grown to cover Helsinki and then the rest of Finland by opening offices all the way from Northern Finland to the capital city of Helsinki. Project-based way of working increased companies’ need for extended stays and demand for Forenom service was on the rise. Forenom still focused on providing alternatives to traditional hotel accommodation by offering serviced and hotel apartments but now also for new kind of business customers, e.g. from consultancy and research-intensive industries. Ready to fly to the Nordic countries After years of leading corporate housing in Finland, Forenom set a goal to continue growing rapidly and become the leading accommodation service provider in Northern Europe. Forenom experienced business also in Russia and Estonia, but the final decision was to start growing to cover all Nordic countries of Sweden, Norway and Denmark. The private equity investor CapMan made a significant investment in Forenom in 2016, which accelerated Forenom's growth further and supported internalization in Nordic countries. Forenom was ready to fly to the Nordic countries and started to recruit local hotel expertise to lead Forenom in new countries.

Forenom operates in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland with 25 local offices and over 450 employees.
