by | Oct 22, 2024 | Awards, Kinewell Energy

We’re thrilled to announce that our company has been shortlisted for the prestigious Dynamites Awards 2024! This recognition is a testament to our team’s hard work, innovation, and dedication to pushing the boundaries of IT and technology in the North East.

The Dynamites Awards, now in their eleventh year, are the most anticipated IT and Technology awards in the North East. Since their inception in 2014, these awards have welcomed 4,282 attendees, celebrated 123 companies and individuals with the coveted Dynamites trophy, and considered over 882 nominations. This year’s ceremony, on Thursday, 21st November 2024, promises to be the biggest celebration of the industry yet.

We were delighted to win ‘Project of the Year’ last year and this year we are finalists in two categories:

  • Equality, Diversity & Inclusion

We are revolutionising the tech sector through innovation and setting new standards for equity and inclusivity. With 31% female representation, agile working practices, and unique recruitment strategies, we far exceed tech industry averages. Our EduKLOC program, participation in inclusive employment schemes, and efforts to make our KLOC software multilingual demonstrate a comprehensive commitment to diversity. Our approach not only enhances their technological capabilities but contributes to a more equitable and innovative digital sector overall.

  • Remarkable Innovation

Our software suite (KLOC, KDOTS, KWOTA) revolutionises offshore wind farm design globally. Using AI and advanced mathematics, these tools optimise cable layouts, transmission infrastructure, and turbine placement, significantly reducing costs and improving energy yield. By accelerating renewable energy deployment and positioning the North East as a tech hub, we are driving the net-zero transition. Our collaborative approach and global impact, with long-term results, make us standout innovators in the fight against climate change.

Being named a finalist for a Dynamite Award is an exceptional honour. As the organisers have stated:

“The Dynamites Awards have consistently illuminated the tech industry’s path forward, recognising those who have pushed the boundaries of innovation and made a profound impact. Each finalist stands as a paragon of technological dynamism, showcasing their relentless pursuit of the cutting-edge, and leaving an indelible mark on the tech sector.”

We are humbled to be counted among this elite group of individuals and organisations who have demonstrated unparalleled dedication, innovation, and excellence in their respective fields.

While we’re honoured to be shortlisted, our journey doesn’t stop here. We’re more motivated than ever to continue pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in our field.

We’d like to thank our incredible team, whose passion and expertise have brought us to this point. We’d also like to express our gratitude to our clients and partners for their continued trust and support. Win or lose, we’re proud to be part of this thriving tech community in the North East.
