cBrain Expands Growth Strategy with New Global Niches
cBrain Expands Growth Strategy with New Global Niches
In recent times, the government IT landscape has seen a swift transition towards Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) software, which has opened up exciting new strategic prospects for companies like cBrain. With a mission to adapt and excel, cBrain (NASDAQ: CBRAIN) is shifting its focus in the first half of 2025 to harness these emerging market trends effectively.
This new approach will include the establishment of two specialized units aimed at achieving global renown in two vital areas: Paperless Ministry and Environmental Permitting. With a strong financial foundation, cBrain is well-positioned to lead in these markets.
Strong International Development
cBrain's journey has been one marked by continuous evolution, both domestically in Denmark and internationally. The company launched into 2025 by announcing an agreement for the F2 Digital platform, serving Denmark's new Ministry of Resilience and Preparedness. Impressively, the F2 solution was ready to go live in just three weeks.
Further showcasing its capabilities, cBrain delivered the F2 Digital platform to the Danish Energy Agency in March. The platform effectively functions as a grant management tool for a heat pump subsidy program, with nearly 70% of applications processed automatically—an achievement that exceeded the agency’s expectations.
cBrain is also making significant strides in Germany, collaborating with the agency overseeing public pensions, where thousands of users have seamlessly integrated the F2 system. Moreover, a partner in Romania successfully secured a public tender to deliver a national pension administration platform using cBrain’s F2 system, marking a significant technical and strategic milestone.
Vision for Paperless Ministry and Environmental Permitting Solutions
Central to cBrain's growth strategy is its vision to provide standardized software solutions for government use, developed over 15 years through collaborative efforts with the Danish government. Today, the F2 platform is utilized by nearly all Danish ministries and over 75 governmental authorities, establishing a formidable presence in the field while also making significant inroads across five continents.
Denmark's consistent top ranking in the United Nations E-Government Survey further emphasizes cBrain's competitive advantage and credibility. With this robust foundation, cBrain is poised to usher in a strategic growth plan aimed at leading in the rapidly expanding market for government-targeted COTS software.
The recent adaptation highlighted the need to pivot from custom-tailored IT solutions toward robust, standardized offerings. An executive order from the White House underlines the urgency for governmental procurement to lean toward commercial solutions, reinforcing cBrain's strategic direction.
The Paperless Ministry Initiative
cBrain's commitment to establishing a strong foothold in the Paperless Ministry sector has been fruitful. With the F2 Paperless Ministry solution now a digital standard among nearly all ministries in Denmark, the successful configuration and rapid go-live capabilities underscore its effectiveness. In early 2025, cBrain saw every newly formed ministry select F2 as their technological backbone.
Building on this initial success, cBrain has broadened its offerings beyond ministerial services, now catering to over 75 organizations within Danish governance. This expansive catalog includes a variety of solutions ranging from taxation to family law, reflecting the company's adaptability and customer-centric focus.
A key aspect of the growth strategy involves replicating the successes achieved in Denmark by penetrating new international markets. This is underway with initiatives in Europe and Africa, where a pilot project has already begun in Kenya to adapt the Paperless Ministry solution for local governmental needs.
Environmental Permitting as a Growth Pillar
In addition to the Paperless Ministry initiative, cBrain is also investing in the Environmental Permitting market. As the demand for effective environmental assessment increases, cBrain's F2 Environmental Permitting solution has been developed to streamline permitting processes, replacing cumbersome paper-based applications.
The importance of integrating modern technologies in environmental review was reinforced by an executive order from the White House. This directive highlights the potential for cBrain's solutions to transform infrastructure project approvals at both federal and state levels.
cBrain is collaborating closely with the Danish Environmental Protection Agency to enhance the Environmental Permitting offering. Recognition from the White House Council on Environmental Quality underscores the effectiveness and promise of the F2 platform as a leading technological tool in this field.
Financial Outlook for 2025
Looking ahead, cBrain is maintaining its financial guidance for 2025, forecasting a revenue growth of 10-15% alongside Earnings Before Tax (EBT) in the range of 18-23%. While reallocating resources to new niches may momentarily slow progress in current operations, the expanded growth strategy is anticipated to foster new business opportunities and accelerate overall growth in the long term.
Budget allocations for 2025 include around 4 million Euro set aside for market expansion efforts, contingent on successful validation. Through these initiatives, cBrain aims to establish a disciplined growth trajectory that is sustainable and impactful.
Best regards,
Per Tejs Knudsen, CEO
