Aprikoosi is a Nausikaan-Crylantian multinational communications and information technology company, founded in 1979 in the town of Neititsnot, Crylante, where the company is still based to this day. In 2016, it had over 100,000 employees across the world, and had a revenue of 192 billion Crylantian Hurtens. It is a registered company within Crylante, and it is listed on the Lillehavn Stock Exchange and the Aurhabrwr Stock Exchange.

It was founded in 1979 as a home electronics company, making electronic devices such as radios and televisions. In 1982, it released its first phone, the Aprikoosi 1, which was a successful product within the Crylantian Federation. However, in 1985, it followed this up with one of the first commercial mobile phones, the Aprikoosi 2, which was commercially successful worldwide. Further releases showed further development on the model of the phone, with the first to send text messages being the Aprikoosi 11 in 1992, which was commended for its innovative design. Its 2000 model, the Aprikoosi Vuosituhat (often called the Aprikoosi V), became one of the most successful phones, featuring new, innovative features such as a calculator and early mobile games. The Aprikoosi Tähti, released in 2005, was one of the first Western smartphones, featuring a camera, games, the ability to search the internet and a music player. Recently, Aprikoosi has seen success with its Aprikoosi I series, with the Aprikoosi I1 released in 2009, a touchscreen smartphone with full Internet and WiFi capability.

Aprikoosi has established itself as a leader in the phone industry, becoming one of the top producers of mobile phones in Aeia. Its name is seen as a symbol of national pride for most Nausikaans: it is the most successful company based in the area of Crylante known as Nausikaa, and it has been described as putting Nausikaa "on the map" in recent years.
