Nortech AI AS (org. no. 925006505) is a Bergen industrial-IoT company that connects directly to equipment control systems on ships and industrial assets to extract high-frequency operating data. In Portugal it runs a Lisbon branch, Nortech AI AS – Sucursal em Portugal (NIF 980731950), and the Caldas da Rainha company DATAIONT, S.A. (NIF 517613484), which holds EU co-funding under COMPETE2030 and the Recovery and Resilience Plan for its product development.
Nortech AI was founded in Bergen on 1 April 2020 and is registered in Norway for products and consulting services in industrial IoT. Its system plugs into the control systems of equipment such as ship gangways and engines and turns raw machine signals into structured data for monitoring and maintenance. The logos on its website include Color Line, Brittany Ferries, Kongsberg, Grieg Star, Telenor Maritime, Seatrans, Nordic Mining and the Bergen shipyard Frydenbø Industri. The Norwegian company had six employees at its last register update and raised its share capital to NOK 200,000 in October 2025.
Portugal is where much of the engineering happens. The Lisbon branch (NIF 980731950) is registered for industrial-IoT consulting products and services; Portuguese registry filings show accounts for 2021 and 2022 and a change of representation in May 2024. Alongside the branch, the Portuguese company DATAIONT, S.A. (NIF 517613484), based in Caldas da Rainha, is the beneficiary of two EU-funded projects. A COMPETE2030 project worth €259,050, with €114,365.63 in EU support, pays for digitalisation, trademark and patent filings, marketing and cybersecurity hires, and ISO 27001 and DNV certification. A €30,000 PRR Startup Voucher, running from January to June 2026, funds Manifold, a tool that builds operational dashboards for industrial and maritime assets from questions typed in plain language.
Nortech AI is a clear example of a Norwegian tech company that sells to Nordic shipowners and industrial groups while building its product in Portugal. That includes Caldas da Rainha, a mid-sized town in the Centro region, as well as Lisbon. It uses Portuguese and EU co-funding to do so. Norwegian maritime customers, Portuguese engineers and Portuguese public innovation funding come together in one company. This is the kind of two-way tie the corridor is built on.
