Thales always applies an approach where collaboration with national partners is included in the business model. In the Norwegian defence market, the most advanced solutions delivered by industrial players have emerged from collaboration between industry, academic and research institutions together with the Armed Forces. This triangular cooperation allows short and effective communication lines and has created a highly competitive and modern defence industry, which Thales is a part of. To grow the position as market leader within secure communication, transportation, space and aerospace, Thales works closely with our Norwegian customers and partners. Thales cooperates with several academic institutions in Norway to support and attract future generations of engineers. The institutions include:
- Defence Research Establishment (FFI)
- University of Oslo (UiO)
- Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU)
- Gjøvik University College (HiG)
- University of Bergen (UiB)
