Climeon wins the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences’ award for Smart Industry
Climeon has today won first prize in the Smart Industry competition, awarded by the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA). Climeon is awarded for its work with the software solution Climeon Live, which enables smart control and monitoring of the company's power plants worldwide.
- We are very proud to receive the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences' award for Smart Industry. It feels extra great that it is our IT strategy and IT platform that is praised, as they make a big difference for our customers, but are not always visible to the outside world, says Rikard Pettersson, Head of Software Development at Climeon.
Climeon has today been named the winner of the business competition Smart Industry, awarded by the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA).

- Software has always been an important part of our core business. Especially when it comes to the control systems of the machines. We have solved many challenges with software and smart algorithms instead of with hardware, says Rikard Pettersson, Head of Software development at Climeon.
