In spring 2006m the subsea cluster in the Bergen area were given the status Norwegian Centre of Expertise.
The programme Norwegian Centres of Expertise (NCE) was established to enhance innovation in the most expansive and internationally oriented industrial clusters in Norway. The program is intended to target, improve and accelerate the ongoing development of these clusters.
The NCE programme should lead to clear effects as;
- improve existing cooperation and infrastructure
- increased innovation
- higher levels of internationalisation
- increased international visibility and attraction
- increased competitiveness and overall value for the cluster
NCE is a government funded program, administered in cooperation between Innovation Norway, SIVA and the Research Council of Norway. The clusters are given technical and financial support for up to ten years.
