Bærekraftig teknologi i industrien - et castudie av to universitetsspinoff

Abstract

In this thesis I will explore sustainable business ideas and their potential. The research was done to take a look at how university spin-offs can create innovative technologies that can contribute to a more sustainable industry. Two spin-offs associated with the University of Stavanger and Validé were studied by evaluating the ideas and conducting interviews. In conclusion there are good scientific support for the spin-offs that were studied. There seems to be enthusiasm and support from the industry and Validé. The barriers are mostly related to regulations and technical requirements. As there are stricter environmental considerations there is an increased chance that the products will be more viable in the industry.
