Annual Report 2008

SINTEF’s vision is that of “Technology for a better society”. Through first-rate solution-oriented research and knowledge generation, SINTEF creates significant value for its Norwegian and international clients, for the public sector and for society as a whole.

SINTEF partners and shares a strategy with NTNU in Trondheim and collaborates closely with the University of Oslo. These partnerships contribute to the high scientific quality of our work and to our strong international position.

2008 was a good year for SINTEF in both financial and scientific terms. Our operations went well and produced a good profit, enabling SINTEF to invest in laboratories and scientific equipment and to increase its degree of self-financing in certain special areas of research.
