Another year is coming to an end – bringing on some reflections.

As a company, Kiona continues to stand strong, which means we’re here to support you today, tomorrow, and beyond. We will continue to deliver what we do best: software that connects, optimizes, and visualizes buildings and technical equipment of all ages.

Security – one of our top priorities this year

Security has been one of our biggest priorities this year. We have invested in strengthening our systems through technology and internal processes to meet increasingly complex threats.

Our customers and partners rely on us to manage their data and systems securely. As cyber threats grow in number and sophistication, it is our duty to ensure safety and trust.

  • What does this mean for Kiona's partners?

For our partners, it means they can trust that the solutions they integrate with us meet high security standards, strengthening their products and services. For customers, it means peace of mind that their data is well protected and that the systems they use are robust against threats.

This year has shown us that security is both a challenge and an opportunity to build stronger relationships and deliver even better services.

Partners and the Kiona team – the cornerstone of our business

2024 has brought on many new partnerships and customers, and new colleagues have joined from all over Europe. One of the key aspects here has been finding the people who fit in with us, our ambitions, and our values; Trust, Curiosity, and Creativity.

Hege Marie Loe, HR business partner (who also joined our ranks in 2024), shares:

"Internally, we've focused on collaboration and learning how to do that in the best possible way. We have reached many milestones by working cross-functionally and cross-border, and we've had a lot of success with it. There's no doubt it also has a big positive ripple effect on our end product and delivery."

For the year ahead, we'll continue to focus on building effective teams and processes and celebrating the small wins – creating an even stronger Kiona culture. The Kiona team is made up of highly motivated people, and we have succeeded in finding people who complement us and who have already added a lot to us as a company.

Join us in supporting Save the Children

Things are going well at Kiona, but we know that there are others who are struggling. While we have the luxury of working and living in peaceful, safe markets, that's not the case for everyone.

Our world continues to be a difficult place filled with conflicts. Therefore, we continue to support Save the Children as a friend company. If you also want to help and make a contribution, you can do so here: Give a monthly or one-time contribution.


Thank you to all Kionians and partners for an exciting 2024. We are well prepared to face 2025. 

All the best wishes for the new year,

Trond-Øystein
