Report handover from the Industry

Together with Powered by Telemark, Arctic Cluster Team, Sustainable Energy Norwegian Catapult Centre, and Kongsberg Technology Cluster, we have created a report that emphasizes the importance of significant investments in future test infrastructure to achieve our climate goals. Minister of Trade and Industry, Jan Christian Vestre, received this report during the Kongsberg Agenda. The report asserts that an investment of 2.5 billion NOK is required to get value and a boost for the industry. The best part is that the industry is willing to cover half the cost, provided that government joins the joint effort.

We have long recognized the need for a shared center for knowledge sharing and development across businesses and academia within advanced system technology, says Ole B. Hoen, Head of the Kongsberg Technology Cluster. Through Siva SF and Norwegian Catapult, we now have the opportunity to create a national collaboration arena where we can offer new services and enhanced mobilization for Norwegian companies.


Norwegian Catapult is Norway's largest test arena, serving as a toolbox for companies' industrial development journeys. Each Catapult provides industrial test arenas with high-tech and modern equipment, tools, and expertise in areas crucial for Norwegian industry and businesses

Very proud and happy that the cluster is part of the Norwegian Catapult, says Hoen. The ability to test new products and ideas in modern test facilities has huge value for both small and large companies, he says.
