Cognite

Cognite is an industrial AI company founded in 2016 in Oslo, Norway. It builds software intended to raise production efficiency for companies in Energy, Process Manufacturing and other industrial sectors. The core of its work is data integration: freeing operational and engineering data from isolated systems so that it can be found and used, then applying AI to support data discovery and decision-making. Its stated mission is the "liberation" of industrial data and the enabling of customers to solve complex business problems.

Two products carry the offering. Cognite Data Fusion is an industrial data platform, described as secure, scalable and built to accommodate future capability, with a suite of industrial AI functions that make siloed data easier to locate and apply. Cognite Atlas AI is a low-code agent builder aimed at industrial domain experts rather than professional developers, allowing them to construct, deploy and scale AI solutions around their own operational knowledge.

The technical work spans industrial AI, data integration, AI-powered data platforms, machine learning and the low-code construction of AI agents. The company describes a collaborative model in which industrial experts work alongside these tools safely and seamlessly, and frames its software as part of wider digital transformation programmes rather than as isolated point solutions.

Cognite operates from Oslo, Austin, Texas and Tokyo, Japan. Its workforce, referred to internally as "Cogniters", draws on employees from more than 60 countries of origin; the company notes that it values a wide range of backgrounds and professional experience.
