Cognite collaborates with Snowflake to deliver industrial AI across the enterprise, enabling energy organizations to accelerate modernization, improve resiliency and harness AI-driven insights at scale.

PHOENIX, Jan. 27, 2026 — Cognite, the global leader in Industrial AI, announced its collaboration with Snowflake, the AI Data Cloud company, to support the launch of Snowflake’s new Energy Solutions and help energy organizations use data and AI more effectively across their operations. Through this collaboration, Cognite, Snowflake and other industry leaders are empowering oil and gas, power and utilities providers to modernize infrastructure, improve efficiency and accelerate progress toward a more reliable and lower-carbon future. 

As energy companies face pressure to secure critical infrastructure, improve operational resilience and navigate volatile markets with real-time insight, Cognite is delivering the unified, domain-specific industrial data needed to power trustworthy AI and agentic workflows through a continuously enriched knowledge graph. With Cognite and Snowflake, joint customers can bring together critical data across IT, OT and IoT systems to activate AI-powered insights for safer, more efficient operations.

"Cognite believes in an open ecosystem that meets our customers where they are, which is why we are bringing AI-ready, intelligent data from our Industrial AI and data platform into the Snowflake environment,” said Paul Grenet, Cognite president and chief revenue officer. “By transforming raw, industrial engineering, operational and IT data, like high-frequency time series and 3D models, into AI-ready data products, we enable energy leaders using Snowflake’s AI Data Cloud to uncover high-fidelity insights, like the cost of downtime, to drive greater efficiency and value." 

As energy systems become more interconnected and digital, organizations need a unified and governed view of their most critical data. Snowflake’s Energy Solutions establish this foundation by helping companies bridge traditionally siloed IT and OT systems, collaborate more seamlessly with ecosystem partners and unlock new AI-driven capabilities that improve reliability, efficiency and long-term performance.

"Energy companies aren’t just modernizing systems, they’re redefining how the world energizes the future," said Fred Cohagan, global head of Energy, Snowflake. "Cognite helps deliver the trusted industrial AI that this moment requires. By combining Cognite’s specialized ability to make complex industrial data AI-ready and scalable with the Snowflake AI Data Cloud, we’re enabling customers to unify IT and OT workflows across the enterprise. This collaboration unlocks the deep intelligence needed to run more reliable operations, accelerate lower carbon solutions and create long-term advantages in an increasingly dynamic energy landscape."
