What kongsberg teknologipark does

Kongsberg Teknologipark AS (KTP) is a Norwegian technology park and property management company headquartered at Kirkegårdsveien 45 in Kongsberg. It is wholly owned by Kongsberg Eiendom Holding AS (KOGE), which in turn is 100% owned by Kongsberg Gruppen ASA, a publicly traded defense and technology conglomerate. The park manages approximately 520,000 sqm BTA of built space across 146 buildings on 650 acres (primarily in Kongsberg, with KOGE also managing 335,000 sqm internationally), hosts roughly 40 high-technology companies with a combined ~5,600 employees and ~40 billion NOK in combined tenant revenue, and traces its heritage to the Kongsberg Våpenfabrikk established in 1814.

The company's core offering is an integrated bundle of real estate and infrastructure services delivered to tenants in the defense, maritime, subsea, space, and energy sectors. Services include commercial leasing of office, production, laboratory, and warehouse space; 24/7 security and access control; an industrial fire brigade (Industrivern) of 34 personnel across four response teams operating in cooperation with Kongsberg Brann og Redning; district heating and cooling with 67.1% waste heat recovery and 28.1 million kWh of annual energy reuse; 178 energy wells at Arsenalet (Norway's largest well field); waste sorting across 20+ fractions; parking and EV charging; and canteen services. The park is ISO 9001-2015 certified and follows ISO 50001 energy management standards, with a stated target of 100% renewable electricity by 2030.

KTP generates revenue primarily through individually negotiated multi-year commercial leases bundled with infrastructure services. The company targets enterprise tenants and select startups (via the Kongsberg Innovasjon AS incubator) through direct B2B outreach, regional events, and a public website. Distribution is exclusively direct; no public pricing exists. The most significant current capital project is Project Utsikten, a 65,000 sqm defense-sector facility for 2,500 employees, ground-broken in May 2025 with completion targeted for 2028.
