Innovation – NTNU’s goalInnovation – NTNU’s goal

NTNU wants to stimulate entrepreneurship

among students, staff and the community,

and thus contribute to building more value into

Norway’s economy. Innovation should be an integral

part of the university’s three main areas of operation

– education, research and dissemination.

(NTNU Board decision, April 2001)
