SINTEF Helgeland
SINTEF Helgeland is a research center located at the industrial park in Mo i Rana. We supply R&D services to the entire region of Nordland and Helgeland, focusing on promoting circularity, processes and sustainability. We also collaborate on the national and international levels, including involvement in the
Our competences range from industrial ecology to social science to metallurgy, providing technological competences in the digital and green transitions
About the partnership
SINTEF Helgeland coordinates the replication hub in Nordland Norway. The replication hub seeks to develop a second I-US hub on the Arctic Circle by building on and improving on results from the main hub.
SINTEF Helgeland leads the work modelling the I-US potentials in our heavily process industry peripheral region. In addition, we work with Kunnskapsparken Helgeland AS and our associated partners to establish a systemic approach to I-US in the Nordland region.
