«Innoventus Sør has taken and is holding an important position as an innovation company in the Agder county and nationally. Our company has built up a unique organisation and a national network with solid experience and knowledge to be able to contribute to entrepreneurship of innovators succeeding in starting and building new business.

Innoventus Sør is an important player in the interaction between the private and public sectors. The company’s knowledge and handling of existing instruments is of great help both for business founders who start new companies, and for existing companies in the process of their restructuring or working with innovation projects.

The company’s employees have developed an impressive, dynamic and motivating culture that Agder county, SIVA, as well as the national government agencies, have shown to value highly. Integrity, knowledge and broad experience in development and innovation work characterise the organisation’s culture.

With good results and a large project portfolio during an intense restructuring period, Innoventus Sør will be an important and necessary contributor to the industrial restructuring we now have to go through. With the United Nations’ sustainability goals as a guideline, the skilled employees in Innoventus Sør will be the central players for innovation in Kristiansand, Arendal and Grimstad, as well as in the rest of Agder. In collaboration with the county, SIVA, University of Agder (UiA), the company Innovation Norway, the Research Council of Norway and the rest of the national policy institutions, we are well equipped for future innovation processes.»
