2 Business review

We are specialists in sustainable digital transformation

We are growing together with international customers and partners based on our ONE Itera model across borders.

Our Digital Factory with cross-functional teams across border was recognised as best in the world by Global Sourcing Association in 2018.

Committed to our vision "Make a difference".

Digital and Business Transformation through AI

Capabilities

Data and AI must be addressed holistically to scale value

The greater the ambitions and potential value of a company, the more crucial it is for all seven operational areas to be effectively established.

Itera re-selected as the digitalisation partner for Gjensidige

Gjensidige has entered into a new framework agreement with Itera, as their strategic digitalisation partner for a minimum of three additional years.

For over two decades, we have proudly supported Gjensidige on their digital transformation journey, enabling substantial advancements in automation and service delivery within the Nordic insurance market.

As a result of this fruitful partnership, Gjensidige is recognised globally for having some of the most outstanding digital claim solutions.

Bergen Engines enters Ukraine – with Itera

As part of the program "Enter Ukraine with Itera", we have supported Bergen Engines to position their products and services in the Ukrainian market and secure funding.

During the fourth quarter of 2024, Bergen Engines successfully signed two significant contracts with Ukrainian parties to provide more than 160 MW of electricity by its gas engines.

Our business advisory services are directly addressing the humanitarian energy needs of approximately 1.5 million people in the Dnipro region this winter.

Image borrowed from Bergens Tidende, where we see Managing Director Jon Erik Røv.

A significant achievement in the fourth quarter was the recognition of the Itera Employee Foundation as a finalist for the UN Sustainability Award in Digitalisation.

The award recognises the collective efforts of businesses, governments, and civil society to build a better future.

Itera Employee Foundation programme is a dedicated platform to deliver essential aid directly to our colleagues, their families, and friends who are protecting Ukraine with aid focusing on purchasing critical supplies that are urgently needed by those on the front lines.

Second from the left is Oleksandr Storokha, Head of Itera Ukraine. Right to him is Tetiana Sakharuk, Executive Director of the UN Global Compact Ukraine. The two others were the hosts of the evening.
