Meedio partners with Element to deliver sovereign communications across Europe
Meedio will use Element Server Suite Pro (ESS Pro) as the server-side solution for its new communications platform. Launching in Q2, the Meedio solution will include its own front-end client including a Matrix-based video conferencing solution. Meedio will be available both on-premise and as a hosted service.
The Danish headquartered company will offer sovereign communications across Europe, with a particular focus on the Healthcare, Education and Public Sector. Meedio recently won a framework tender to supply Germany’s 1,100 universities with communications solutions, and holds TÜV and KBV certification for the German healthcare industry. Its hosted solution will initially be based out of Germany, with hosting available from other European countries as the service expands.
Meedio’s communications solution brings another competitor into the Matrix-based communications ecosystem, giving public sector organisations and businesses yet more options when it comes to choosing between Matrix vendors. Meedio joined the Matrix.org Foundation as a Silver member in January 2026, and participated in The Matrix Conference 2025.
Infrastructure to enable customer focus
Using ESS Pro as the server-side solution for its Matrix-based service gives Meedio the ability to focus on its customer propositions. Rather than creating and maintaining backend functionality - such as scalable performance, identity and access management and record keeping - Meedio is free to dedicate all its development resources to its front-end products and services.
“So much of our success comes from listening to our customers, and giving them solutions to match their exact requirements,” says Runi Hammer, the founder and CEO of Meedio. “We’ll compete in the Matrix ecosystem by differentiating on the frontend client, such as our video conferencing and medical case boards. By using ESS Pro we have the best server-side solution available, so we can just focus on what we do best; delivering solutions to our customers.”
ESS Pro also provides a highly cost-efficient way of delivering a powerful hosted solution to small and medium size businesses across Europe. By using ESS Pro, Meedio can provide dedicated hosting to large customers, and multi-tenant hosting for smaller customers.
Matrix co-opetition
Meedio already has a strong installed customer base as a result of its enterprise-grade Matrix-based video conferencing solutions in healthcare, education and contact centres. Meedio will be expanding its Matrix-based frontend clients with domain-specific messaging, collaboration and integrations. It will both compete with, and complement, Element and other Matrix-based vendors.
"We're really excited to partner with Meedio - enabling them to provide excellent domain-specific Matrix clients by leveraging the best possible Matrix distribution from the team who created Matrix - Element Server Suite Pro.
“By joining the Matrix.org Foundation C.I.C. they show their commitment to the underlying Matrix project and we look forward to collaborating with them further."
Meedio delivers on-premise and hosted solutions for organisations with as few as five end-users, through to large public sector organisations and enterprises.
