On Wednesday, November 12th, we had the pleasure of hosting Kazakhstan's ambassador to Norway, Adil Tursunov, and his attaché Tanat Suldebayev at ÅKP.
The visit to Optimar has brought them to the region, but the ambassador also wanted to hear more about what ÅKP is working on – especially within digitalization and artificial intelligence.

We presented our national test center Norwegian Catapult Digital (Digicat), where companies gain access to expertise, technology, and testing facilities in digital twins, virtual prototyping, and AI-based development.
