production process, a new business model

Winners… Among the front runners, but not necessarily the first one

Global competition increases in most industries

High costs must be compensated with higher expertise, efficiency and speed of innovation!

Global technological and market development

Development and ambitions of the clusters

The Norwegian cluster companies must win the global “R&D&I competition”
