Our Mission
Our Vision
Nobel Prize
Daniel Kahneman’s Nobel Prize in 2002 inspired the foundation of Preference AB. His research proved that human decision-making is often irrational, sparking the development of decision support tools.
Project "Decide"
Stockholm University launched the research project "Decide" to create tools for better decisions. Founders Love Ekenberg and Anna Persson built the foundation for Preference AB’s future solutions.
Company Founded
Preference AB was founded as a spinoff from the "Decide" project. Professors Love Ekenberg and Anna Persson transformed academic research into practical decision-making tools for businesses.

Global Growth
Preference AB formed partnerships with international firms. Its science-based decision support tools gained global recognition and expanded the company’s influence beyond Sweden.
Love Ekenberg
On September 19, Love, one of the founders of Preference, left us after a period of illness. He was active until the end, among other things with an online course Digital Transformation in an Organisational Context. The course is aimed at doctoral students worldwide and the purpose is to provide tools to understand and exploit what organisational goals can be and what it means to work strategically to achieve them as well as how digitalisation can contribute to operations in a strategic way at different levels.
Love’s focus was on how mathematics and logical systems thinking can contribute to better decisions and increased societal benefit in a variety of seemingly disparate societal areas such as nuclear energy, financial risk assessment, and community planning. Love’s work embodies the spirit of freedom that characterises, and in many ways is a prerequisite for, the accelerating digitalisation of society.
His educational and scientific leadership was based on the conviction that open knowledge sharing and free thinking are the bases for the development of society. In addition, he was deeply committed to addressing society’s major challenges in a democratic way, supported by logical, objective, and socially sustainable decisions, in Sweden as well as internationally.
Love Ekenberg was a researcher who was not afraid to take on difficult tasks. At UNESCO, he was leading the effort to build a system of large-scale higher education in southern Africa that will multiply the population’s access to knowledge and, in the long term, is also expected to boost the region’s economic development. Last but not least, Love was always highly appreciated and an extremely fun colleague to work with regardless of tasks. From his open hearted character and his including sense of humour he quickly made friends regardless of nationality, background, and age.
For Preference, Love has given us the right scientific and moral direction, and he leaves a very large void.
Thank you, Love, for all that you have given us at Preference.
