Høibakk decided to start a new company, Tandberg Data. It gained surplus in the first years, and in 1978 it released its first product; a table computer. In the following years, Tandberg Data produced keyboards and personal computers which were ergonomically designed.[2] In the 1980s, Tandberg Data tried to start business in the United States, but without success.[2] In 1986, Høibakk resigned from his position in the company, and established Høibakk Invest AS, where he was managing director.[3] In 2000, he was appointed Professor II at the Narvik University College.[2] MountaineeringHøibakk is a noted mountaineer.
