Joint industry projects
We believe that greater collaboration and the pan-industry development of new technology and innovation are key to solving common challenges. Joint industry projects are vital mechanisms linking industry companies together in co-creating technological solutions, and common rules, standards and guidelines. We take pride, therefore, in being recognized as a clear industry leader in initiating and managing projects.

Long-term research programmes
Our long-term research programmes are intended to help prepare our customers and ourselves for the future by generating new knowledge in key technology areas that have a long-term impact on the industries we serve. The present research portfolio includes programmes to:
- Ensure we and our customers are at the forefront of risk-based and model-centric services on a system level
- Explore digital technologies to build new positions and competencies, and developing methods and technologies to master the assurance of complex and intelligent systems.
The Group Technology and Research Review provides a guide to recent position papers, selected research projects, technical competence building activities and our collaboration with universities.
Preparing for the future
Digitalization and the energy transition are the two megatrends of our time. Together, they are driving a relentless quest for efficiencies, and that in turn raises creates a growing need to ensure that efficiency gains do not compromise safety. Our research programmes are focussed on helping us and our stakeholders to understand rapid and deep changes in the energy landscape.
