Abstract: Abstract For Norway to stay at the economic summit and continue to prosper, our knowledge-driven industry must grow and improve its capability of competing on the international scene. To reach such goals, there is urgent need for research that can provide solutions to the technological challenges faced by individuals, industry, and society. Being a laboratory at the international frontier of research in information technology and communication, it is a natural consequence that Simula “…will focus on fundamental scientific problems with a large potential for important applications in society.” In tandem with conducting basic research and educating researchers, Simula’s mission is to promote the application of the research in both private and public sectors. The importance of industrial cooperation, innovation, and business creation is clearly visible in the corporate structure that Simula implemented in January 2008. The Research Applications unit accounts for all these types of activity and houses also the subsidiary Simula Innovation AS, which constitutes the laboratory’s main instrument for innovation and entrepreneurship.
