Fortress Innovation is a South Korean technology company focused on delivering advanced software for actuarial modelling and financial risk analysis. Established in 2013 and affiliated with Kyobo Life Insurance, it builds high-performance systems designed to manage complex financial computations and large-scale data processing. Its tools are used to support decision-making in insurance and finance, where precision and speed are critical.
Fortress Innovation's product offering includes ExcelBooster, a high‑performance Microsoft Excel add‑in that automatically transforms calculation‑intensive Excel Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) code into optimized compiled C++ executables to dramatically accelerate processing speed within the familiar Excel environment. It integrates as a menu in Excel and enables users to convert existing VBA logic with minimal changes, achieving significant reductions in computation time for complex models compared with standard VBA execution. The tool also includes verification capabilities to compare results from ExcelBooster and original VBA outputs, making it suitable for workloads such as financial calculations, risk analysis, and other data‑heavy tasks where native Excel performance can be a bottleneck.
Through the combination of ComponentSource’s global software marketplace and Fortress Innovation’s expertise in financial modelling solutions, professionals working with complex Excel-based workflows gain access to powerful tools that significantly improve processing speed while continuing to work within the familiar Excel environment. This partnership brings the performance benefits of ExcelBooster to a broader audience, enabling faster execution of data-intensive models and ensuring reliable access to licensing, support, and updates through a trusted and established distribution channel.
