Speaker highlights
Exclusive visit to Cyber Lab 47 - the Kongsberg Catapult
Enjoy a personal demo of the test arena and experience real-time AI projects in the lab.

The Kongsberg Catapult is a center for knowledge sharing and development across businesses and academia within advanced system technology. It offers access to advanced facilities for prototyping, simulation, and testing, along with specialized expertise in systems development and integration.
The Kongsberg Catapult is one of the 13 catapults in Norway. It is particularly closely related to the two domains Sustainable Energy and Manufacturing Technology and was developed to help bring new green technologies to market faster, and with less risk.

Through test arenas and practical support across the full product development cycle - from concept through validation - the Kongsberg Catapult makes it easier for companies of all sizes to adopt new technologies and bring competitive, sustainable solutions to market.
TECHNIA are proud sponsors of the Kongsberg Catapult and have developed a virtual twin of a physical drone built on the 3DXPERIENCE platform, now available for live testing in the lab environment. Join the event for an exclusive tour to the Kongsberg Catapult and see it live in action!
Who should attend
This is the must-attend event for Product Engineers, System Engineers & Architects, Design Teams, Project Managers, and anyone ready to transform their product development process.
Don’t miss your chance to expand your professional network, gain actionable strategies, and be part of the movement driving the future of digital engineering.
