Seeing solutions from a holistic perspective
“Our clients know we are technically capable of understanding their
assets and we can also see the challenges and solutions from a holistic
perspective, which is why they have trust in us,” says Mathias Steck,
Regional Manager, Digital Consulting and Smart Cities at DNV GL –
Digital Solutions. “We’re able to strike the balance between operational
technology and information technology,” he says.
"The establishment of DNV GL's Asia Pacific Digital Hub in Singapore is
testament to our strong digital talent and IT infrastructure. DNV GL will
join a growing ecosystem of digital technology solution providers using
Singapore as a base to serve companies and cities in Asia who wish to
extract more insights and value from their data. We congratulate DNV
GL on the establishment of the Hub, and look forward to our continued
partnership." said Mr. Lim Kok Kiang, Assistant Managing Director, EDB.
The digital hub will have 50 employees within the next five years by
attracting software development and engineering talent from the pool of
innovative and dedicated entrepreneurs in the region. The hub will also
partner with local universities and businesses. Singapore is considered a
leader in the region for innovative approaches towards digital and smart
city solutions, and other countries and cities in the region are focused on
achieving similar results.
“We will be the digital headquarters for the Asia Pacific region,” says
Steck. “We are part of DNV GL’s strong push towards digitalization and
disruptive technologies. It’s an exciting place to work,” he says.
