Aker ASA has just acquired the Norwegian technology and R&D company Prototech.
Prototech is renowned for its expertise and impressive portfolio of technological solutions.

Aker ASA acquires assets to support its energy transition

Founded in 1988, Prototech builds on a tradition of engineering and technology dating back to 1930.
Over the past 30 years, it has become an R&D and technology company renowned for its expertise.
The company has numerous assets in space applications, energy systems and marine technologies.
This acquisition gives Aker Capital access to a significant portfolio of industrial technology solutions and R&D capabilities.
These will support the company’s energy transition.

Expanding Prototech’s development

This acquisition is therefore a real advantage for Aker ASA.
However, the acquisition will also benefit Prototech.
Indeed, Bernt Skeie, CEO of Prototech, said:

“Our energy solutions are maturing and have the potential to make a real difference in the zero-carbon economy. To succeed, we need an industrial owner to accelerate our development and provide capital for growth. Aker is the ideal owner for Prototech, and we’re delighted to be part of the family.

This acquisition is therefore not only a strategic investment for Aker ASA, but also a development opportunity for Prototech.
What’s more, it will enable Prototech to promote its energy solutions, which are essential to the development of a low-carbon economy.
