The Norwegian
Centres of Expertise (NCE) programme is jointly owned and implemented
by the three main Norwegian innovation agencies: Innovation Norway, the
Research Council of Norway and SIVA.
NCE has appointed twelve strong clusters consisting of world class
enterprises in their field. The aim is to further development of the
selected clusters to become motors for industry development through
cooperation between companies, researchers, colleagues and public
authorities.
One of the clusters is NCE Instrumentation in Trøndelag. It consists
of companies which supply advanced management and communications
solutions to companies in offshore, maritime, fish farming, energy and
medicine.
