A high-tech gathering point
NMK is one of Norway's most innovative and high-tech gathering places where the public sector, academia, and the private sector work hand in hand.
Collaboration
NMK is a central part of Campus Ålesund and aims to be one of Norway's most important meeting places for competence, innovation, and development within maritime and marine industries. With its location in the heart of a region that has long traditions in shipping, technology, and industry, NMK serves as a natural link between education, research, and business. Campus Ålesund is already a dynamic hub for knowledge sharing and value creation, and NMK is part of the foundation by bringing together people, ideas, and resources across disciplines and industries.
Through close and good collaboration with various organizations both inside and outside the NMK building, a unique environment is created where different perspectives meet and new solutions emerge. This collaboration fosters increased innovation, stronger competence building, and continuous development, contributing to both regional and national growth.
NMK emphasizes being an arena where businesses, students, researchers, and entrepreneurs can meet to share experiences, develop projects, and build partnerships. The goal is to strengthen Norway's position as a leading player in maritime and marine industries, while also opening up for new opportunities in sustainability, technology, and forward-looking business development.
