SFI Industrial biotechnology (SFI IB) will develop new knowledge, technology and innovations that will contribute to build-up of national competence of substantial long-term value for the Norwegian biotech industry, transfer of marked value adding capacity to a diverse range of companies, and the establishment of highly improved nationally concerted researcher training and educational programmes in industrial biotechnology.
"Our ambition is to move Norway towards a more prominent international position within industrial biotechnology in terms of increased competitiveness of Norwegian biotech-based industry and provision of innovations with national and international large market potential."
