This partnership has been instrumental in shaping our technology landscape, and we look forward to achieving new milestones together."
Knut Inge Buset, Country Manager of Cognizant Norway, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing Cognizant's commitment to supporting Cermaq in adapting to emerging technologies and driving competitive advantage. “We are thrilled to be continuing our collaboration after ten-years of providing reliable and strategic counsel to Cermaq as they modernize their technology and infrastructure. Cognizant’s presence is the catalyst in helping both Cermaq’s individual entities and the global organization achieve their goals and mobilizing them towards adopting newer technologies as they emerge to keep pace with the market. Norway is one of the leading countries for seafood production and relies heavily on the blue economy. Through our collaboration with Cermaq we look forward to evolving our expertise in the Nordic Aquaculture and Seafood industry.”
Beyond operational efficiency, our collaboration extends to a shared commitment to environmental stewardship. With the launch of Cognizant Ocean in 2023, we're driving innovation in aquaculture and supporting initiatives to preserve marine ecosystems.
