Purpose and vision

Together we generate sustainable competitiveness through industrial research on resource efficiency and value adding processes.

It can be about decisions for a direction and measures for an enterprise to sustain competitiveness in 5 to 10 years. Or identifying and preparing for new rules and regulations that is under way in increasingly complex and dynamic markets.

All that perform research together become stronger.

Competitiveness with a sustainability perspective is created by world class researchers who:

• Improve material utilisation efficiency
• Add value to products
• Develop waste and side-stream materials to valuable goods

Enterprises perform research with us as:

• The company knowledge base and expertise improves
• Company R&D knowledge is extended into new areas like sustainability, measuring technology, composite materials etc.
• International contacts are made
• Funding is shared with others
• Results can be achieved faster with more resources
• New products can go-to-market faster
• A specific area can be explored with only RISE
• Existing patents, trade secrets and immaterial property rights are protected
• Ownership of new patents and IPR is handled according to distinct agreements

There are companies that use RISE as their outsourced R&D department.
