The Ocean Autonomy Cluster is Norway’s leading hub for expertise on ocean autonomy. Consisting of both companies and R&D institutions, the cluster combines research and technological development, suppliers of technology, components and systems, as well as forward-leaning investors. Through cooperation, the cluster’s participants pursue safer, more efficient and precise operations at sea, contributing to a more sustainable use of the world’s oceans. Norway has a proud history of innovations and achievements at sea and has been a major player on the world’s oceans for more than 200 years. Today, Norway is the global center for innovation and development of autonomous ocean technologies and solutions. Cutting-edge research, innovative companies and a rapidly growing marked for autonomous solutions, all provide unique business opportunities for applications in the ocean space. The Ocean Autonomy Cluster seeks to utilize these opportunities through combining the experience from Norway’s maritime and offshore industry, developers, suppliers and award-winning R&D institutions. The main goal of the Ocean Autonomy Cluster is to strengthen Norway’s global leadership role in the development and commercialization of future autonomous ocean technologies and solutions. The Ocean Autonomy Cluster’s center of gravity is the Trøndelag region. The cluster is based in Trondheim, Norway’s technology capital and home to several of the world’s leading autonomy companies. In 2016, the Trondheim Fjord (Trondheimsfjorden) became the world’s first test site for autonomous ocean vessels. The Ocean Autonomy Cluster is a part of the Norwegian Innovation Clusters program. The cluster program aims to trigger and strengthen collaboration in regional business clusters, make clusters more dynamic and attractive, and make the enterprises more innovative and competitive.
