DNV GL Ventures

DNV (formerly DNV GL) is a global leader in quality assurance and risk management, with roots tracing back to 1864. Headquartered in Norway, the company provides a wide range of services across various industries, including maritime, oil and gas, renewable energy, and healthcare. DNV focuses on enhancing safety, efficiency, and sustainability through its services, which include classification, technical assurance, certification, and advisory. In 2021, DNV rebranded from DNV GL, reflecting its streamlined strategy for the future. The company is organized into six main business areas: Maritime, Energy Systems, Business Assurance, Supply Chain & Product Assurance, Digital Solutions, and the Accelerator, which fosters growth through acquisitions and partnerships. DNV invests heavily in research and development, dedicating about 5% of its annual revenue to innovation. This commitment is evident in its work on projects related to the energy transition, digital assurance, and artificial intelligence, aiming to set new global standards in these areas. The company’s recent acquisitions, such as Nixu, a cybersecurity firm, and ANB Systems, a SaaS provider for energy programs, highlight DNV’s strategic expansion into critical sectors like cybersecurity and digital transformation. DNV is owned by Stiftelsen Det Norske Veritas, a foundation with the mission of safeguarding life, property, and the environment. This ownership structure supports DNV’s long-term vision and commitment to sustainability, as all profits are reinvested into the company to further its mission​.
