SINTEF AS is Scandinavia’s largest independent research organisation and is a non-profit research foundation. We employ 2100 people most of whom are located in Trondheim and Oslo (Norway). More than 90% of our annual turnover derives from contract research for industry and the public sector in Norway and internationally, and we receive minimal state funding (around 6%). SINTEF is multidisciplinary, with international top-level expertise in a wide range of technological and scientific disciplines, medicine and the social sciences.

Our company vision is “technology for a better society”, and this is an important aspect of our societal role to contribute to the creation of more jobs. We act as an incubator, commercialising technologies through the establishment of new companies. The Sustainable Communication Technology department under SINTEF Digital participates the DYNABIC project, and leads the work package on the Multi-aspect Digital Twins and situational awareness for business continuity of critical infrastructures.
