When Andreas Bjune Kjølseth from Asker, Norway, quit his job to start his own company, Infraspace, he could hardly imagine where the journey would take him. Now, the company has been showcased on the main stage at Autodesk University in Nashville – the world's largest conference for the construction and infrastructure industries.
AU is the world's most significant event for AECO software, with more than 12,000 participants, and this year's event in Nashville marks a milestone on our journey: 🚀Main stage recognition: Infraspace was featured during the Keynote of Autodesk Vice President, Nicolas Mangon. An incredible honor – and an exposure that might reach 1.000.000 viewers worldwide. 🤝Co-presentation with Norconsult: We were invited to co-present with our first customer, Norconsult, demonstrating our tech, and how they have applied it in real-world projects. It's fantastic to see how Norconsult has applied Infraspace to deliver more value to their clients. 🌏Featured during Transportation Summit: Infraspace was present and demonstrated in the Transportation Summit at AU. A great validation that our vision and technology is of high global interest and on the agenda.
Imagine being able to redesign a road so that it costs less to build, fits the terrain better, and is more environmentally friendly. Sounds like science fiction? Not anymore! In my master's thesis, I decided to test how modern tools – including the program Infraspace – handle the optimization of road alignments. The result? Up to 30% savings and some surprising conclusions that may interest every road engineer.
Say hi to our new Senior Developer and Lead Scientist 👋 We're excited to welcome Gunnar Vartdal to the team!

Global recognition from AEC Magazine - the leading publication within BIM and AEC technology! 🏆 A good talk between Greg Corke and our CEO Andreas Bjune Kjølseth, diving into the technology behind Infraspace and how it's set to transform early-stage design through generative design and AI. Curious about why Infraspace is on the cutting edge of Infrastructure design? Check out the article!
Infraspace has developed an award-winning AI platform designed to optimize the planning of infrastructure projects. Similar to how one might request text suggestions from ChatGPT, users can ask Infraspace to generate optimal routes for roads, railways, and power lines. This technology allows for the analysis of thousands of potential routes within minutes, significantly enhancing efficiency in infrastructure development.
