Offshore Oil and Gas as Industrial Driver

Abstract

The project “Oil and gas as Industrial Driver” is a further development of professor Torger Reve’s nation-wide research project “Knowledge-based Norway” (2012). Common for the two projects is the cluster perspective on industry development as opposed to the traditional industry-neutral view. The key issue addressed in this project is the ability of the Norway-based suppliers to the offshore oil and gas industry to create value for society both directly through the core activities and by generating innovations that give Norway a competitive edge in other industries.

The project is undertaken by BI Norwegian Business School on behalf of the Norwegian Oil and Gas Association (Norsk olje og gass).
