Cadmatic: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Cadmatic is a Finnish software company that develops 3D design and engineering tools for shipbuilding and industrial plant projects, including digital twins. Its products are built around a shared 3D model environment in which different disciplines work on the same project data. The head office is in Turku, Finland, and the company has offices in several countries, including Estonia, Germany, the Netherlands and Spain.

Cadmatic Oy is majority owned by Elomatic Oy, a privately owned Finnish engineering firm also based in Turku, which held 53 percent according to 2021 figures. Other shareholders are a Finnish financial group and the company's management and staff. No foreign parent company is involved, so the ownership chain stays within the EU. The company's site does not state where customer or project data is hosted, so organisations should confirm hosting and data processing terms in writing before a project starts.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Cadmatic

Cadmatic is headquartered in FI and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Cadmatic scores best on data residency.

Cadmatic is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Cadmatic together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
