Bringing together

The annual NTNU and SINTEF European Strategy Summit is a high-level annual seminar bringing together leaders from Norwegian business and industry, organizations, the public sector, funding agencies, and public authorities.

This year’s focus is RePowerEU – how can Norway contribute?

For the first time since the pandemic, we will again be hosting the summit in Brussels (by invitation only), in combination with three breakfast broadcasts that will be streamed on the DN Studio Platform (open to all). 

The summit is the 6th edition of the summit.

NTNU and SINTEF are dedicated to European research collaboration and want to mobilize Norwegian actors to increase their involvement in the Horizon Europe and other relevant programmes. Mobilizing and engaging different stakeholders will ensure that we create the best possible picture of Norway and Norwegian interests so it can be used to help define future priorities as well as strengthen Norway’s position in the EU area.

This is a unique arena for discussions and strategy development between Norwegian leaders in the public and private sectors who want to work in closer partnership at the European level to strengthen Norwegian interests, share expertise and contribute to sustainable development and economic growth in Europe.

Our aim

Europe faces major societal challenges. The European Commission is addressing these challenges in the forthcoming research programme Horizon Europe, the world's largest research programme. Research-based knowledge is more crucial than ever to ensure the sustainable development of businesses and communities in line with the sustainable development goals.

The Horizon Europe programme offers great opportunities for Norwegian businesses, as well as the public and non-profit sectors. It is important to help shape the content of these research programmes by actively participating in the European debate with clear positions and strategic indications.
