Innovation resources
NTNU's researchers create knowledge, ideas and solutions that contribute to value creation, sustainable development and restructuring of business and the public sector.
Our students graduate with competence in innovation. In this way, they are equipped to solve problems and find new and smart solutions in working life. Many of NTNU's students also create new companies and jobs.
Collaborate with us
Through collaboration, we combine theory and practice to solve challenges and contribute to the restructuring and development of business and the public sector. This makes us an attractive partner.
