Summary
Erik Wallin is a seasoned technology entrepreneur and researcher with over a decade building semantic, self-learning systems that turn buildings into smart-city-ready platforms. As founder of Idun Real Estate Solutions and RealEstateCore and former CEO of ProptechOS, he blends deep academic expertise (PhD in Media and Computer Science from KTH) with product-led leadership to drive interoperable IoT and data-ontology solutions for real estate.
