Levato AS
Norwegian defense-technology company selected for NATO DIANA's Decision Superiority for NATO Warfighters challenge.
Levato AS is a Norwegian company providing software for military planning, command, and operational decision support, including its VANTAGE platform, a cloud-native digital wargaming and decision-support tool, built on open architectures so defense organizations can integrate existing equipment rather than replace it. Founded in 2008 as Turbo Tape Games, an interactive/gamified-learning studio, before pivoting to defense wargaming and rebranding as Levato AS in 2022. In July 2026 it was one of ten companies selected by NATO's DIANA for the Decision Superiority for NATO Warfighters challenge, receiving €100,000 to integrate with Maven Smart System NATO ahead of a December 2026 demonstration to Allied Command Operations.
