Loihde operates on the IT and security markets which are central to the development of society. The markets in which Loihde operates are growing, and the company is focusing particularly on growth segments within these markets.

Loihde has two business areas:

The Digital Development business area offers customers Business Intelligence and data utilisation services, as well as development of digital services.
