Built in collaboration with industry leaders

We shaped our offshore product in close collaboration with an expert panel of developers, including EnBW, RWE, Statkraft, TotalEnergies and Vårgrønn. They provided critical insights during the development phase of the platform, ensuring the platform addresses real-world challenges faced by developers.
Assessing projects manually, project-by-project, is the old world. This is the new way of working.

Vind AI offers an industry-leading platform for offshore wind project planning and design (...). It enables us to speed up our design processes significantly.
Fredrik Kuhn
Project Manager, Vårgrønn
When I heard how quick Vind AI was I jumped on the platform to test it and I was really impressed. It’s brilliant to have all the data and analysis for many different workflow steps in one place.
