A bidirectional, zero-copy data sharing integration will create a unified foundation for industrial intelligence across the enterprise.

Cognite and Snowflake have announced a strategic partnership and plans for a bidirectional, zero-copy data sharing integration between the Cognite Industrial AI and Data Platform—which includes Cognite Atlas AI™ and Cognite Data Fusion®—and the Snowflake AI Data Cloud. The collaboration is designed to establish a single source of truth for industrial intelligence across the enterprise, enabling both field operators and executives to drive operational efficiency and measurable business outcomes.

Company analysts often require the same data as industrial operators to address complex use cases and build solutions that improve efficiency across operations. Industrial AI applications depend on real-time, contextualized data for reliable insights, yet this is often constrained by fragmented and siloed data sources. The Cognite–Snowflake partnership addresses this by delivering unified access to intelligent industrial data for users across functions.

The integration will enable a seamless, bidirectional flow of AI-ready data between the Cognite Industrial AI and Data Platform and the Snowflake AI Data Cloud. Snowflake users across the enterprise will gain real-time access to unified, domain-specific industrial data to power AI solutions and agentic workflows, while insights generated through these solutions will continuously enhance Cognite’s data environment. This ensures that all stakeholders benefit from trusted, timely industrial intelligence to support data-driven decisions.

Key Benefits

  • Reliable Agentic AI: Access to high-quality, trusted industrial data enables teams to build domain-specific AI agents and applications that effectively address industrial challenges.

  • Reduced Operational Costs: Eliminates redundant data storage and complex ETL pipelines, freeing engineering teams to focus on AI innovation.

  • Open Ecosystem: Leverages Snowflake’s Secure Data Sharing and open standards to facilitate seamless data exchange and integration across preferred tools and platforms.

By combining Snowflake’s enterprise-scale data infrastructure with Cognite’s industrial domain expertise, the partnership supports organizations in applying AI more effectively across their operations. The resulting unified data foundation strengthens cross-functional collaboration and enables the responsible scaling of AI-driven decision-making throughout the enterprise.
