P1: Economy and Innovation
Economy and Innovation (P1)
Centrally located in the city’s innovation district and close to thousands of workplaces, a new meeting place is taking shape for future economists and technologists. The Department of Industrial Economics and Technology Management is moving to Hesthagen, and the Faculty of Economics will be in one location.

Technology and economics – a collaboration that benefits society
The new building is located right next to the NTNU Business School, where several of the academic communities and the faculty administration are located. This location supports entrepreneurship and academic environments that encourage initiative and collaboration. Bringing these communities together strengthens the connection between technology and economics—and to the rest of the campus.
A space for future collaboration
New workspaces, student areas, specialized facilities, and meeting places make new ways of working together possible. From the first year of study to the completion of a master’s degree, students will collaborate and work closely with professionals engaged in innovation and technological development. When economists and technologists work side by side, new solutions and new ways of understanding the world can emerge.
A new connection through campus
A new pedestrian bridge will link the Gløshaugen plateau to the new building. The bridge becomes an important connector, creating a direct route between Gløshaugen, the area around Hesthagen, and Øya—one of Trondheim’s busiest hubs. In this way, the campus is also more closely tied to the Elgeseter Innovation District (In Norwegian only).
