Transforming complex challenges
into optimised solutions
Kinewell is a team of optimisation experts. We help organisations solve complex engineering and operational challenges through advanced technology, specialist expertise and innovative thinking. We deliver software tools, consultancy and bespoke solutions, working with clients to find the right approach for each challenge.
Powered by supercomputing, advanced mathematics and AI, we help clients reduce costs, improve efficiency and de-risk projects. We do this by rapidly assessing scenarios, exploring more options and analysing more data than traditional approaches allow. Our technology provides fast, unbiased decision support, helping teams understand trade-offs and make confident decisions.
Our Vision
To develop and commercialise innovative technologies that add significant scalable value and impact positively on social and environmental challenges.
From our roots in offshore wind to cross-sector applications, we empower organisations to design better, plan faster, and operate more efficiently.
What Makes Us Different
Innovation, built on real engineering
Kinewell’s optimisation technologies were developed for offshore wind, supporting the design, construction and operation of wind farms. From inter-array cable layout and turbine placement to transmission design and floating mooring systems, our tools help clients get more value from every stage of a project.
Our approach is grounded in offshore wind engineering, not abstract computer science. Our software is built by engineers who understand real project constraints, practical installation considerations and the realities of delivering offshore wind at scale. That means the optimisation we deliver isn’t purely theoretical. It produces solutions teams can actually build.
We continue to invest in R&D, expanding what our platform can do and exploring how the same underlying methods can be applied to other highly constrained, high-stakes decision problems.
Our team
We are a team of specialists, engineers and software developers with a track record of building creative solutions to complex problems. Our people combine deep expertise in optimisation, engineering and renewable energy infrastructure, and it’s that combination, not just the technology, that our clients rely on.
We are united by a shared commitment to honesty, integrity, trust, fairness and a pursuit of excellence.
