In 2018, Spanish SME CompassIS was awarded as the most disruptive and innovative company in Europe at the prestigious Disruptors Awards, organised by the European Commission’s I4MS initiative. The award ceremony took place at the annual Digital Innovation event in Warsaw, Poland, and was attended by the European Commissioner for Digital Economy and Society, Mariya Gabriel, and the Polish Minister of Technology, Jadwiga Emilewicz.
CompassIS stood out for its innovation in the development of advanced simulation software for ship design. In collaboration with CESGA and the European Fortissimo 2 project, it succeeded in reducing by a factor of 45 the calculation time needed to assess behaviour at sea, making these tools more accessible and efficient for the industry.
This recognition underlines CompassIS’ commitment to digital transformation, helping to make supercomputing solutions key in the initial design of vessels, improving their resilience in extreme conditions. Thanks to these advances, the company is positioning itself as a benchmark in its sector, expanding its impact both nationally and internationally.
