Sri Lankan Roots, Global Impact: 99x celebrates 25 years of growth and expansion

Launch of Agentri AI

The 99x team welcoming the year 2026

Over the past 25 years, 99x has grown into a trusted, global tech services provider with presence in Norway, Sweden, Poland, Portugal, Brazil, Malaysia and Sri Lanka. Rather than expanding as a single, centralised organisation, the Group has evolved as a network of focused entities, each offering specialized services within their target markets. Companies including 99x Digital Solutions Norway, 99x Tech Experts Portugal, 99x Tech Experts Brazil and Incrementi contribute distinct strengths across product engineering, consulting, digital solutions and business technology. In 2025, the group expanded further with the addition of Solvr, Fabres, Gture, Republic Factory and Increo, extending 99x’s presence to Sweden and Poland, while strengthening its presence in Europe.

Focus on AI-led development 

In recent years, 99x has steadily deepened its focus on AI-enhanced product engineering. The goal was to make the best use of emerging technologies and tools to improve quality, reduce repetitive effort, and help teams make better decisions as products grow in complexity. This results in higher productivity as well as process improvements. This shift has been supported by a sustained investment in building AI capability internally through initiatives like the AI Vibe Coding Hackathon, InnovateX Festival, and Architecture Week, all parts of a broader learning environment. 

Agentic AI through Xians.ai and Agentri

Alongside this internal momentum, 99x has also invested in building its own AI orchestration platforms. These platforms are designed to coordinate intelligent software agents that can operate autonomously across complex enterprise workflows. Instead of approaching AI as a collection of standalone features, Agentri AI enables systems that work with context, adapt to changing conditions, and take on repetitive or decision-heavy tasks that would otherwise slow teams down. The impact is already visible, with more than 10 new AI-led project engagements in 2025, reflecting the confidence in 99x’s ability AI solutions.

People and culture

The organisation’s growth has been shaped by its people. Over the years, many engineers have grown their entire careers within the group building deep technical expertise, stepping into leadership roles, and mentoring those who come after them. It is not unusual to find people who have spent ten or twenty years at 99x, with many having been part of the organisation for the full 25-year journey. 

University relations

99x has maintained an active role in strengthening Sri Lanka’s broader technology ecosystem through sustained engagement with universities, students and future talent. The company partners with 30+ universities in Sri Lanka and Malaysia to provide industry mentorship, guest lectures, curriculum support and hands-on exposure, helping over 50,000 students through the years to understand real-world product engineering early in their careers. Every year, 99x offers 50+ internship placements that allow students to contribute to real customer projects, build AI and cloud-native solutions, and work alongside seasoned professionals.

Community and sustainability

99x has stayed closely connected to the communities around it, focusing on corporate sustainability. A key example is its long-standing support for Sunethra Maha Devi Vidyalaya Pepiliyana, where it has helped build access to IT education through a computer lab, regular technology lessons, and ongoing engagement with students through regular events. Responding to cycle Ditwah, 99x has mobilised support through a Corporate Flood Relief Fund, working with partners including LEADS and World Vision Lanka to assist affected communities. In collaboration with the MAS Foundation for Change, 99x supported the installation of an Ocean Strainer at the Lunawa Lagoon which has collected over 120,000 kg of mixed waste during 2025, helping reduce pollutants entering the ocean.

As 99x celebrates 25 years, the 99x Group will continue to grow responsibly, utilise emerging technology to benefit our customers, invest and grow our people, and support our communities.
