Investment thesis

SINTEF Venture is the commercialization and technology-transfer unit of the Norwegian research institute SINTEF. It brings research results to market by licensing and selling technology to existing companies and by spinning out new ventures from SINTEF's research environments. The unit manages several seed and early-stage funds that invest in startups emerging from SINTEF, treating these funds as key tools for commercializing research. Both national and international investors participate in the funds. Commercializing research is framed as part of SINTEF's broader societal responsibility.
