About Kanna
We love Norway. We also love technology, especially when it is used to further sustainability goals. We especially love solving puzzles and working with industry leaders to find them, understand them, and solve them (the puzzles, not the leaders).
So, in 2023, the two German-Norwegian professionals with a passion for all things Nordic founded Kanna AS - the research and development company in Oslo, Norway, to do exactly what we love and know how to do.
Our decade (plus) of learning, building, solving and evolving problems and strategies at the intersection of software and culture has equipped us with both the expertise and the humility to approach different domains with open eyes and ears, and a plethora of frameworks in our toolbox.
Kanna provides a range of specialized services, focusing on developing new products, improving existing products, and creating innovative solutions to various challenges.
We want to play a significant role in advancing technological, scientific, and industry-specific developments in the Nordics.
Our mission
Through sound research and a passion for the planet, we pinpoint critical inefficiencies in today's world and craft tangible, tech-driven solutions that are both sustainable and powerfully pragmatic.
Our vision
Working towards a world of high socio-technical congruence, we are the game-changers who meld research with real-world application, setting the standard for innovative, practical solutions.
“Our methodology is a combination of a structured approach that starts with identifying market gaps anddefining clear objectives and an openness to anomalies. This allows us not to design the insight out of the equation.”
We stay informed through literature reviews, we brainstorm, and we ensure the practicality of solutions through feasibility analyses, design iterations and rigorous testing. With a commitment to user-centric design, interdisciplinary collaboration, and continuous post-launch evaluations, our R&D process remains agile and responsive, as we want to ensure our solutions are both innovative and impactful in real-world scenarios.
