posted 2011/09/13
ControlCutter was awarded second place out of 719 entries during at the national innovation award ceremony in Oslo after the 10 finalist companies presented. The winner was a breakthrough treatment for cancer, but ControlCutter was widely praised for the development of this crucial safety device for the offshore industry . In fact, ControlCutter only made the finals through a wild-card which not only shows how difficult it has been for the local and national juries to pick the three awarded companies, but is also a testament to the rapid progress ControlCutter has made in the 3 years of its development. But with this award, ControlCutter is not pausing to celebrate - it plans to have its first system installed on DOF Skandi Vega in early October.
