Stories of innovation and entrepreneurship

All stories

An education in innovation and entrepreneurship can bring change in an array of areas. An entrepreneurial mindset can be as valuable for nurses or teachers as for students or alumni founding tech startups, and for employees in academia or large private and public organizations.

Shrimp Vision

ShrimpVision is developing sustainable land-based warmwater shrimp (scampi) aquaculture by combining recirculating aquaculture systems and excess heat from power-intensive industry. In 2020, despite Covid-19 restrictions, ShrimpVision produced their first batch of shrimps at Marineholmen. The start-up is a product of the marine cluster and has received acclaim and financial support from the Norwegian Research Council STUD-ENT programme, VIS, the Savings bank foundation SR-bank Gründerhub, Vestland County’s MobiFORSK, and the Royal Norwegian Society for Development.
