Drifter World offers a digital AI-based parking system that uses smart sensors and advanced technology to streamline payments, detect violations, optimize spaces, and provide real-time data. The company describes its ecosystem as prioritizing simplicity and accessibility to create value for parking lot owners and drivers. Following a SEK 36 million investment, Drifter is preparing for a national launch of its digital parking solution. Management has announced a leadership transition: co-founder Michael Persson will step down as Chairman but remain a major shareholder and advisor, and Billy Jörgensen will assume the chairmanship. Drifter said the investment and new governance will support expansion in the Nordic market while keeping the company ready to expand internationally. Existing partnerships with Tele2, Axis, Monta, and Easypark are expected to evolve further as the company scales.
