The instrumentation cluster in Trøndelag consists of companies specializing in supplying advanced control and communication solutions for different branches such as natural gas processing and transportation, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), maritime, offshore fish farming, deep sea construc-tions, energy and medicine. Most of the companies are situated in, or close to Trondheim, but you also find companies south of Trondheim at Røros and Oppdal and north of Trondheim, at Levanger and Steinkjer. A number of comp-anies in the in-strumentation cluster have deve-loped from the Trondheim R&D environment on the basis of R&D results, or with personell recruited from this cluster of expertise.
The various projects in NCE Instrumentation aim to increase the competi-tiveness and value-adding operations of the compa-nies. The cluster has considerable growth potential within the existing markets. In addition NCE Instrumentation has started projects for natural gas processing and natural gas transportation, subsea, and deep sea constructions, offshore fish farming, and alternative energy production. The stimulations stemming from demanding customers and regional leading cutting edge, provide the foundation for a considerable market expansion, product expansion, and increased competitiveness for the clus-ter, both regionally and globally.
NCE Instrumentation aims to further develop the companies global competitiveness and expand their value added opera-tions. This will be achieved through strategic development of new partners, and through projects initialized within the 4 focus groups; innovation, industrialization, competence, recruitment and R&D, communication and publicity.
