Work Pilots Oy (business ID 2718776-8) is an Espoo software company, registered in 2015, that runs WorkPilots, a mobile platform for matching people with paid work one task at a time. It now sells the platform mainly to municipalities, nonprofits and education providers, and says it has been used in Finland, Sweden and four African countries. In Portugal it has a registered branch, Work Pilots Oy – Sucursal em Portugal (NIF 980608376) in Oeiras, which filed accounts for 2024.
Work Pilots Oy was entered in the Finnish Trade Register on 4 November 2015 under business ID 2718776-8. Its registered address is the Innovation Home at Tekniikantie 2 in Otaniemi, Espoo, the Aalto University science-park district. Its main line of business is software design and production. The company started as a gig-work marketplace in which companies and households posted small jobs, with a focus on young people and others looking for first work experience. It now presents WorkPilots as a mobile SaaS platform that lets municipalities, nonprofits, schools and local employers offer tasks matched to people’s abilities and life situations, and measure the impact. Customers can run their own branded version, which the company says can be set up in a week. It reports more than 20 municipalities, 200 nonprofits, 2,000 work providers and 8,000 people who gained first work experience through the platform. It says the platform has been used in Finland, Sweden, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and Ethiopia and runs in 10 languages.
In Portugal the company is registered as Work Pilots Oy – Sucursal em Portugal, NIF 980608376, with an address in the 2770-218 postcode in Oeiras. The 980 prefix marks a foreign entity in the Portuguese tax register. The branch filed accounts for 2024. Oeiras is home to the Taguspark science park and many Lisbon-area tech offices. Work Pilots’ websites do not mention Portugal. No Portuguese customer, municipal pilot or public contract has been found for the company. The branch may serve as a development or operations base rather than a sales office.
Finnish software firms often open small Portuguese branches to reach Lisbon’s developer pool at lower cost than Helsinki. Work Pilots is also a Nordic welfare-tech product. Its model, municipal platforms that bring young, long-term unemployed and partially able people into paid work, would fit Portugal’s youth-employment and social-economy programmes. A registered Oeiras branch with filed accounts shows it is more than a mailbox. Watch for a first Portuguese municipal or nonprofit deployment.
