The Centre for the study of innovation policy for industrial transformation, sustainability and digitalization (INTRANSIT) focuses on understanding how the Norwegian economy can be made smarter and more sustainable through industrial transformation.
The research centre, based in Norway, explores the question of industrial transformation with a broad multidisciplinary approach and study different levels of the transformation processes – from analysing firm behaviour in transitions, via technological development and diffusion, to studying transformation policies. Our research focuses on transformation process in four important Norwegian sectors; the energy sector, the maritime sector, the industrial sectors (processing and manufacturing), and the bio-economy.

The project is funded by the Research Council of Norway and runs from 2019 to 2026.
