The Telenor Innovation Centre is tailored to serve as an arena where new services and solutions can be conceptualised together with partners and customers, as well as being a showroom where we demonstrate the ways in which we innovate at Telenor.

"Innovation is vital in order to secure growth. It has always been important. And it is an integral part of our strategy going forward," said Jon Fredrik Baksaas, President and CEO of Telenor Group.

"The opening of the Telenor Innovation Centre will further strengthen our continuous efforts to create value for our customers. We do so more and more through open innovation and I believe that this center will become a central place to work on future solutions together with our customers and partners," said Morten Karlsen Sørby, Executive Vice President and head of Corporate Development.

To celebrate the inauguration the Minister was invited to join employees and partners for an inspiring Day of Innovation featuring several key innovation areas ranging from Internet and content based services, mobile financial services to services related to M2M (Machine-to-Machine).
