Norinnova has been selected as the commercialisation partner for UiT The Arctic University of Norway for the next four years. The new agreement will help turn more research results into companies, jobs and value creation in Northern Norway. <\/strong><\/h4>

UiT The Arctic University of Norway has awarded Norinnova the contract to provide commercialisation services for the next four years. The agreement continues a long-standing collaboration between the parties and lays the foundation for increased efforts in research-based innovation, entrepreneurship and business development in the region. <\/p>

Through the commercialisation of research, new knowledge can be transformed into products, services and companies that address important societal challenges and create economic value. The new agreement strengthens efforts in innovation and entrepreneurship at UiT, while renewing Norinnova\u2019s responsibility to help develop research-based ideas further towards the market. <\/p>

Northern Norway has significant potential for research-based business development, and both UiT and Norinnova aim to contribute to increased value creation in the region through more research-based start-ups.<\/p>

– We are very proud to once again be selected as UiT\u2019s partner for commercialisation. Over many years, we have built a close and successful collaboration, and we look forward to developing it further in the years ahead. At the same time, we see a university undergoing very positive development, with growing ambitions and a clearly strengthened focus on innovation and societal impact. This provides a strong foundation for creating more research-based companies, more jobs and greater value creation in Northern Norway, <\/strong> says Asbj\u00f8rn Lilletun, CEO of Norinnova.<\/p><\/div>

An important collaboration for regional value creation<\/h2>

For many years, UiT has been an important source of research, expertise and innovation in Northern Norway. Collaboration between research communities, industry, investors and commercialisation organisations is essential to ensure that research results benefit society. <\/p>

Rector of UiT, Dag Rune Olsen, emphasises the importance of the collaboration:<\/p>

\u2013 We know that many of the solutions society will need in the years ahead will emerge from our research communities. We must therefore become better at connecting research, entrepreneurship, industry and investors <\/strong><\/p>

He highlights Norinnova as a key partner in this work:<\/p>

\u2013 Norinnova plays an absolutely vital role here. Through its work with research-based innovation and company development, Norinnova helps ensure that more promising ideas from researchers and students have the opportunity to become new businesses that create jobs and value in Northern Norway. <\/strong><\/p>

Looking forward to four more years<\/h2>

The new agreement facilitates continued close collaboration between UiT and Norinnova on the development and commercialisation of research results.<\/p>

Norinnova thanks UiT for its trust and looks forward to continuing the work of connecting research, entrepreneurship, industry and capital to create the innovations of the future from the North.<\/p><\/div>
