In addition to launching OTee into a new operating phase, this sizeable funding confirms the company's status as a strong Nordic worldwide startup.

OTee’s CEO and Co-founder, Henrik Pedersen said, “The technology and the business model in OT are similar to what IT had in the 90s and early 2000s. Every industrial asset has its own locally installed control system, locked into one vendor, with an expensive life cycle management that has a focus on maintaining, not improving. Based on the customer interest we are seeing, we can safely say that the market is changing, driven by customers asking for open control system architectures, and the Industry 4.0 community. We want to be a driving force in this upcoming disruption, and help end-customers and their automation partners modernize operations with no physical intervention,”.

The Investor Manager at RunwayFBU, Peder Hjermann said, “We have followed OTee since 2022 and are impressed with how the team has worked relentlessly to solve key issues within Operational Technology today,” “In our opinion, the open standard SaaS platform can unlock the true power of industrial automation and new opportunities within artificial intelligence and machine learning. The strategic partnership with RunwayFBU and Superangel not only provides substantial financial support but also access to an extensive industrial network,”.

Applications for OTee may be found in practically every industry, demonstrating the company's enormous market potential. With a focus on virtual Programmable Logic Controllers (vPLCs), OTee sets itself apart by providing a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform with a zero-trust cybersecurity architecture that separates the hardware and software.
