- This recognition follows Celonis’s recognition as a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Process Intelligence.
- Digital twins of an organization (DTOs) and AI are symbiotic technologies; AI makes DTOs more powerful and easier to use, and DTOs give AI the context it needs to understand how an organization operates.
- The Celonis Context Model (CCM) is the only process-centric, system-independent DTO. It provides unique operational insights that drive effective execution and value creation.
- Pharmaceutical giant Novo Nordisk is using the Celonis digital twin to speed up drug development.
MUNICH and NEW YORK, July 30, 2026 – Celonis, the global leader in Process Intelligence, has been named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Digital Twin of an Organization Platforms, positioned highest on the Ability to Execute axis.
Alexander Rinke, co-Founder and co-CEO of Celonis, said: “We are excited to be recognized by Gartner as a Leader in the market and extend our sincere gratitude to our customers, partners, and employees. Your trust and support got us here and pushes us forward. We're seeing our customers achieve meaningful results, like getting new treatments to patients faster, with enterprise AI anchored in the right operational context. And we believe Celonis’s powerful digital twin delivers this foundation in ways no other platform can match.”
Today’s enterprise transformations are being supercharged by two collaborative technologies—artificial intelligence and digital twins. AI accelerates the creation of digital twins through faster coding, makes them more powerful by aiding with data ingestion and analysis, and makes them easier to use through natural language interfaces. Digital twins, virtual models of an organization, translate business operations (i.e., people, processes, and systems) into a language AI understands. And with this knowledge, Enterprise AI has the operational clarity it needs to drive transformative results.
The Celonis Context Model (CCM) is a unique process-centric, system-independent digital twin of operations that combines process data, business knowledge, process and decision intelligence.
The Celonis platform, powered by the CCM, enables organizations to analyze, design, and operate AI-driven processes and deploy Enterprise AI solutions that reason correctly, decide sensibly, and act reliably in business-critical areas.
Using Celonis, Novo Nordisk is speeding up drug development with smarter AI. The pharmaceutical giant created a digital twin of its end-to-end processes—enriched with its own unique business context. It currently has over 100 AI agents in clinical development, the majority of which run on the context layer provided by Celonis.
Stephanie Bova, R&D Digital Transformation Officer at Novo Nordisk said: “Without a digital twin of how your business operates, understanding where to deploy AI for maximum impact is impossible. With Celonis, we believe it’s possible to significantly reduce time to market from First-in-human to submission, and we’re targeting up to two years in cycle time reduction.”
This is Celonis's second recent Gartner Magic Quadrant recognition, following its May 2026 naming as a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Process Intelligence.
Using Celonis, customers have collectively realized over $11 billion in value to date.
