Q: What is Kongsberg Digital’s most important contribution?
A: Kongsberg Digital enables industries to make faster and more precise decisions through data-driven insights. By combining technical expertise with deep industry knowledge, we turn data into valuable insights that enhance decision-making across organisations. By integrating information from multiple sources and automating workflows, we improve operational performance in planning, design, construction, operations, and maintenance. Our scalable solutions, robust partner ecosystem, and deep industry expertise allow us to support customers throughout their digital transformation.
"By strengthening existing relationships, forming new partnerships, and further developing our products, we can meet the demands for efficiency, security, and sustainability."
Q: What was the key highlight of the year?
A: First and foremost, we can look back on another year of solid growth across the organisation. The agreement with Yara was a significant milestone, as we expanded Kognitwin into a new market segment. We also launched several new twins and experienced strong growth in our maritime portfolio.
Additionally, I would like to highlight Energy Simulations, which had an outstanding 2024. We continued integrating advanced AI tools into our solutions, including Microsoft Copilot technology, which offers users better insights into their data. This development has resulted in more accurate and efficient decision-making tools, supporting our goal of continuous innovation.
By strengthening existing relationships, forming new partnerships, and further developing our products, we can meet growing demands for efficiency, safety, and sustainability.
This will enable us to enhance our role in the energy transition and the global industrial digitalisation process.
By collaborating closely with customers and partners, we are laying the foundation for continued scaling and long-term growth.
