Welcome to Artelia

In 2023, MOE changed name to Artelia. We have done so to demonstrate our affiliation with Artelia Group and to further strengthen our international cooperation.

By changing our name to Artelia, we will strengthen our profile as a multidisciplinary engineering company and consultant driven by the employees’ entrepreneurial spirit, strong professional qualifications and a solid social environment.

The name change is a natural development after three years of cooperation and positive synergy. This will give us the opportunity to strengthen the connection across Artelia Group, increase awareness of Artelia’s brand in the European market, and it will be an advantage when we bid on large international projects.

Stronger together

In 2019, MOE became part of Artelia Group because we wanted to become part of an international consultancy group where we would be responsible for the Nordic countries and be able to export our key services and offer new services to our clients. When we chose Artelia, it was decisive that we would become part of a consultancy group owned by leading employees in Denmark as well as internationally and a group with a high level of autonomy for each unit.

We chose not to change the name right away but to let our cooperation develop and let the affiliation with Artelia become clearer over time. In March 2023, the time was right for taking the next step and change our name to Artelia. We did this to demonstrate the affiliation, to stand stronger in the competition for employees and clients and in order to strengthen the international cooperation.

Sustainability is top of the agenda

Our business is growing and developing, and we are now more than 1,100 employees. We see the sustainable agenda as a significant focal point for the ongoing growth and development. Therefore, our focus is on how we can contribute to more sustainable solutions for buildings, energy and infrastructure – our three business units. Thanks to our employees’ strong professional qualifications and ability to think outside the box, we take active part in the development of new solutions that push the green transition forward. The use of data and digital tools have had key roles in the transition for a long time, and we are well prepared for meeting the large demand for more sustainable solutions.

In the construction industry, focus on climate impact has increased significantly in 2023. From the turn of the year, LCA calculations are required for all new constructions over 1,000 m2 with a limit value of 12 kg CO₂ eq/m2/year. Artelia is well prepared since we have a large and strong team of sustainability experts and already have participated in several building projects with a CO₂ footprint even lower than the new requirements. Through several development projects, we help demonstrate how the impact on the climate may be reduced further, and we have many years of experience with the LCA calculations that will now become a mandatory element in practically all new constructions.

The energy sector is in the middle of a historical change process where Artelia contributes on many levels due to our position as one of the leading consultants within the area. Our specialists take part in implementing district heating, modernising the electricity network, establishing more climate-friendly production units and introducing new technologies such as Power-to-X and Carbon Capture.

A similar agenda applies to the ongoing expansion of infrastructure where we take part in promoting green transport modes such as bicycling, optimising public transport and creating mobility solutions that will reduce the CO₂ footprint.

From pharma to food

In 2022, LBP Engineering became part of Artelia. For some time, we have experienced strong growth in projects within the pharma industry, and we wanted to become a full-service consultant within this area. With LBP as the foundation, we have now created an independent pharma division.

With the establishment of a strong pharma division, our other industry units have been able to increase their focus on other segments such as the food industry and electronics companies where we now take on even more projects.

Part of Artelia Group and head of Business Unit Nordics

We are part of an international consultancy group with more than 7,000 employees worldwide and a long tradition for solving large and complex projects where technical synergies are used across country borders.

In Scandinavia, Artelia Group is represented in Denmark and Norway with ambitions to be present in more countries. Artelia Business Unit Nordics consists of Artelia in Denmark and Dr.techn. Olav Olsen in Norway.

International opportunities

We are experiencing an increasing demand for our expertise in other countries where we are able to use Artelia’s connections and geographical presence in more than 40 countries. Sustainability, district heating and bicycle traffic are examples of the qualifications that are now easier for us to export. We generally expect increased growth on the international scene as being part of a global group opens many new doors.

The opportunity for combining Artelia’s qualifications across international units has resulted in many international projects, e.g. the new Bus Rapid Transit system in the capital of Iceland, Reykjavík. At the same time, the cooperation with Dr.techn. Olav Olsen has strengthened our position in the Norwegian market and led to exciting projects for our employees in Denmark ; for instance assistance with the digital design of bridges in Norway.

Furthermore, we experience that the international support base provides significant advantages when bidding on projects in Denmark, particularly heavyweight projects. We can draw on global expertise when it comes to climate adaption, coastal protection and the entire maritime area which will become more and more relevant in the future.

Professional qualifications

Our employees are our most important resource, and it is crucial to ensure a highly professional environment where expertise is shared and developed. With many different professional qualifications at various levels and a project organisation with various roles, clear career paths and development opportunities are important. We offer career paths as e.g. expert, project manager or personnel manager. We have our own academy where employees can take various courses that are adjusted to their development needs and levels.

Our responsibilty

We are among the leading consultants regarding sustainable solutions, and as a workplace, we want to be even more responsible and contribute to the sustainable development. Together, we must ensure that we make sustainable choices when it comes to Artelia as a workplace. We have set ambitious goals as to how we can deliver significant and measurable contributions to the green transition via purchase and behaviour, and we focus on increasing our employees’ attention and contribution to sustainable behaviour.

An even better workplace

We have talented, qualified and flexible employees who everyday contribute to the development of our business – we have the best employees in the industry. We aim at creating a workplace where we grow and have fun, and the project An even better workplace is an important strategic focus area. We attach great importance to having an open and involving culture with short decision paths where the employees have a great deal of influence on the planning of their own work as well as many social activities which form the basis for strong ties across departments, geography and technical qualifications.

A teaching organisation

Each year, we welcome several students, either as interns or student assistants or when they write their school projects or theses. Each year, we also have several trainees who are employed by us during their period of training. We see it as a win-win situation as we get new energy and knowledge while getting the opportunity to see the young people grow. We support them in their development and give them exciting challenges via their work on some of our many projects.
