…With 50 years of experience from oil and gas we now empower the green shift through large onshore and offshore wind parks. - and future capture and storage of carbon through the planning of Northern Lights.

YOUR NOTES:

In 1990 Noteby merged with Multiconsult. At the same time, we worked on the design for the Gjøvik Olympic Mountain Hall. The structure is the world's largest cavern hall for public use.

…Today, our experts within geo, water and environment empower new water supply and clean water to Oslo's future generations.

In 2003 Norsk Vandbygningskontor (NVK) merged with Multiconsult. At the same time we were stepping up our international activities. We were involved in several hydropower plant projects internationally such as the Kihansi in Tanzania.

Shtokman (Russia) Polskie LNG (Poland) Devoll (Albania) Sakhalin (Russia) Nheelum Jeelum (Pakistan) Upper Padas (Malaysia) Chevron IDD Jurong Rock Cavern (Singapore) Gorgon and Ichthys (Australia) Kihansi (Tanzania) East Africa LNG Get Fit (Uganda) Adriatic LNG (Italy) Hebron (Canada) Alto Maipo (Chile) Koambo (Angola) Moho (Congo) OCTP (Ghana) Mount Coffee (Liberia) Seatower (France) Dudgeon (UK) Hywind (UK) …Since that time Multiconsult has been involved in projects word wide, foremost in renewables, oil & gas and subsea geo.

MEGATRENDS WITH STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONS

DIGITALISATION

Scandinavia is one of the leading markets for digitalisation of the building and construction industry.

CHANGES URBAN LIFE

In 2015, 54% of the world's population lived in cities.

By 2050, 66% of the population is expected to live in cities, ie. over 6.2 billion people.

SUSTAINABILITY

Collaboration for forwardlooking solutions for the benefit of people, the globe and the customer.

VALUE CHAINE DYNAMICS

'The Government will ask underlying businesses to develop new contract forms where the contractors will be more involved in designing solutions.

multiconsult.no THE PACE OF TECHNOLOGY ADOPTION AND DIGITALISATION IS INCREASING, CREATING BOTH NEW OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS FOR THE INDUSTRY AND FOR MULTICONSULT

    1. Technologies such as parametric design and machine learning will increase efficiency in the design process, thus lowering FTEs in design
    1. Shift in the competency requirements of both the individual advisors and for the company as a whole
    1. Digitalisation opens up the value chain for both international competitors, dynamics within the current value chain and completely new entries from outside the current value chain

multiconsult.no THE FOCUS ON SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE RISK WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE AMONGST CUSTUMERS AND INVESTORS

    1. The transition to a low carbon economy will create many new opportunities for Multiconsult to help our costumers in the transition. Sustainability has to be an integrated part of the design process
    1. Physical climate risk and the physical results of climate change will substantially increase the demand of services from for example business area Water & Environment

multiconsult.no CHANGES IN HOW WE LIVE OUR LIFE IN CITIES WILL IMPACT THE WAY WE DESIGN AND INCREASE DEMAND FOR CROSS-DISCIPLINARY APPROACHES

multiconsult.no CHANGING CONTRACTS AND EXECUTION MODELS, LEAD BY LARGE TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS, ARE CHANGING BALANCE OF POWER BETWEEN CONTRACTORS AND ADVISORS

multiconsult.no WE ARE DOING A LOT TO ADDRESS THESE MACRO TRENDS - AND WE WILL DO EVEN MORE IN THE COMING YEARS

The macro trends are not 4 separate trends, but they are overlapping - on several areas they are intertwined, enabling and effecting each other.

MACRO TRENDS WHAT ARE WE DOING?

Multiconsult has all the macro trends high on our strategic agenda. Amongst our strategic objectives, 3 are directly related to the trends

  • Take a position as #1 in large profitable EPC/IPD projects in Norway
  • Take a leading position and improved profitability within Transportation
  • Enable digital Innovation and develop new business models

  • We continually improve operations enabled by digitalisation in our assignments together with our largest clients
  • We have an internal task force working on how we should position for a digital transition
  • We take an active position together with the industry on sustainability through Climate 2050 and other initiatives
