About the company

Kaas & Mulvad are specialists in withdrawing news and patterns from complex data. We solve assignments for a number of media and we serve customers outside the media establishment.
Kaas & Mulvad was founded by Tommy Kaas and Nils Mulvad in January 2007. Our expertise is based on years of practical work with computer assisted and analytical journalism. We are involved in Danish and international organisations for investigative and computer assisted journalism and we were co-founders of DICAR – Danish International Center for Analytical Reporting.
The offices of Kaas & Mulvad are located in Copenhagen and Aarhus. We work closely with media and press organisations in Denmark and abroad and we are part of an international network promoting global investigative journalism.
We collect, analyse and present data – and we always consider the assignment journalistically. We teach and give presentations, e.g. concerning advanced research methods, data mining, analytical techniques and preparation of maps for the internet.
