Globalisation has resulted in a significant internationalisation of business and innovation. In order to stay competitive, companies must maintain an appropriate breadth of technological competences.
It is an important part of DNV's strategy to carry out research and innovation within key technology areas.
Research & innovation
DNV has organised the total R&D efforts in two main groups:
Strategic and long term research within DNV Research & Innovation
Maintenance and development of services and tools within the different business units
Strategic Research
DNV Research & Innovation serves the purpose of exploring and testing new technologies and building new knowledge within selected technology areas that are believed to be of particular significance for DNVs own development and business activities in the future. DNV Research & Innovation is currently focused on six major strategic research programmes.
Technology Outlook
We believe much of the future is predictable - and therefore we can plan for it. But we cannot address those aspects that we do not know about. Unpredicted, disruptive events might change the picture completely; How might we cope? The winners of the future might not be those that make the best plans for the expected, but those that are able to respond swiftly and appropriately to the unexpected!
Impact - 50 years of research
"-We have no choice; whether we like it or not, we have to do research" (DNV president Georg Vedeler, 1951).
Research & development in the business units
R&D in the energy sector
Through our involvement with the energy industry, DNV has always been involved in developing new technologies, methodologies and competences. We firmly believe that our efforts will help the industry safely and responsibly improve its business performance.
R&D in the maritime sector
R&D investments enable us to deliver classification services to our customers with greater value, quality, predictability and meeting the stakeholder expectations to transparency. We also use R&D to develop add-on services through voluntary class notations and consultancy services, in order to meet expectations beyond the core classification.
