About this report
Squarehead Technology AS is a Norwegian deep-tech, academic spin-off now operating as a private scale-up. Founded in 2004 by University of Oslo researchers, the company has grown into a specialized defense sensor provider with offices in Oslo and Hickory (NC, USA) .
Its official website (sqhead.com) and LinkedIn page are primary communication channels, and it maintains a worldwide presence via subsidiaries, distributors and integrators . Squarehead remains independent (no public listing or conglomerate ownership), backed by venture capital (Idékapital led a NOK 50M round in Aug 2025 ). Its organization is a classic founder-led model: the two original founders still lead R&D and management.
