Telenor Research and Innovation
Telenor Research and Innovation (R&I) is an innovation hub for Telenor with particular focus on strategically driven innovations with a long-term perspective. The purpose is to strengthen Telenor's global competitive strength. The unit’s competence areas include users, markets, business models, technology and commercialization. Experimentation, testing and demonstration facilities are part of the work. R&I practises an open innovation model based on cooperation with leading users, businesses, universities and institutes.
R&I
is a competence resource centre for the Telenor group, providing expertise and
advice, and challenges to management on existing strategies and business mindset.
The unit also provides significant support to the business units through joint
projects.
The combination of research, incubation and commercialization expertise strengthens
Telenor’s ability to convert ideas and concepts to profitable businesses.
New initiatives can either be realised within the Telenor Group, or may be established
as separate businesses, often in cooperation with third parties.
In addition to the R&I centres in Fornebu, Tromsø and Trondheim,
a new centre was established in Malaysia in 2006. This Asian centre (TRICAP)
focuses on social media and growth market opportunities.
R&I is wholly owned by Telenor.
The R&I organisation consists of the following research units:
- New Business
