Inventas has a physical presence at Norinnova on a monthly basis.
Unique in Norinnova’s approach to developing future winners is the focus on the entrepreneur as a 24-hour human being. Central to the way we work with entrepreneurs is Olympiatoppen, which with its performance developers and mentors helps entrepreneurs in our programs with personal development. The results and feedback in this way of developing individuals have been absolutely enormous and we are very proud to have a partner like Olympiatoppen on the team.
SIVA is central to operations and development by Norinnova. Siva is both on the ownership side of the company, financier of the incubator and owner of our premises in Forskningsparken Tromsø. Norinnova has been assigned the role of host for the Tromsø Research Park by SIVA and we are therefore working closely together to develop an exciting and attractive innovation environment for the players based here.
