  1. Public – Private Construction Research Collaborationin the Nordic CountriesNORWAY Reykjavik August 17th 2007, Terje F. Rønning

  2. The Research Council of Norway's portfolio of support measures Large programmes SFI SFF user-driven research-based innovation Thematicprogrammes Basic research Non thematic basic research SkatteFUNN Division for science Division for strategic priorities Division for innovation

  3. RCN R&D programmes related to Construction Operating programmes: • RENERGI- Clean Energy • WOOD - Joint initiativ for Wood R&D between Innovation Norway and RCN • BIA - User-driven Research-based Innovation • CRI - Centres for Research-based Innovation • SkatteFunn – Tax incentives for R&D

  4. a joint initiativet between Innovation Norway and The Research Council of Norway • established to achieve synergy between innovative development work, applied research and basic research • The programme based on strategies prepared jointly by the forestry and wood-based industries. • Total budget RCN aprox.: NOK 20 Mill. WOOD R&D programme

  5. Obligations Programme for User-driven Research-based Innovation (BIA) 36 projects (80 mill) started so far in 2006 Available for new projects in 2006 Budgetary ambitions 2006 2009

  6. Intentions for BIA • be an active partner in further developing the knowledge intensive Norwegian industry • engage in the best innovation projects • mobilise industry to increased R&D investments • finance large ambitious projects • stimulate networks between sectors and scientific disciplines

  7. Important characteristics for BIA projects • Research-based innovation • High potential for value creation • Competition based on quality • Public investment must be vital for realisation of the project Target groups: Existing industry. “The best companies in existing industry shall become even better.” New industry. ”Opportunities for new companies with exceptional ambitions for R&D to realise projects ideas.”

  8. Centres for Research-based Innovation (CRI) • designed to fund long-term research conducted in close cooperation between Norway's most research-oriented companies and its most prominent research communities. • centres will be funded for five to eight years at a support level of 50 per cent of their total operating costs • the target group is research-intensive companies and dynamic research groups whose collective long-term research agenda focuses on generating expertise and solutions of the highest international calibre

  9. SFI awarded to Construction Industry COIN - Concrete Innovation Centre (v/SINTEF) The aim of the centre is to become a leading actor in concrete research in Europe. New advanced materials, efficient construction technology and new design concepts based on environmentally sound materials, shall be developed. Fibres shall replace steel reinforcement in many constructions. Structural Impact Laboratory - SIMLab (v/ NTNU) The aim of the centre is to establish technology platform to develop safe an cost effective construction. The ability of light constructions to sustain impact loads is a core challenge.

  10. The Norwegian tax incentive scheme • Incentive to improve the R&D and Innovation • Covering all enterprise sizes, all types of companies and all types of projects • 18-20 % tax deduction for companiesgetting project approval by RCN • A great success !! • www.skattefunn.no Simple, easy, unbureaucratic and smooth

  11. RCN User-driven Public Funding Constr. 2005 – 2008,June 2007

  12. Construction Sector succeeded well within the Industry-Neutral Competition Arena BIA. Juneev 2007 (MNOK)

  13. SkatteFunn Construction Projects, i.e. new products, processes & services within all segments of the buidling and during construction

  14. Construction & Real Estate Industry Segments with the highest nos. of projects – Active in 2006
