TEFT

CPS member Ottar L. Osen was vital in initiating TEFT, a 20 MNOK research and development project related to service innovation, entrepreneurship, finance, and technology (“tjenesteinnovasjon, entreprenørskap, finans og teknologi”) sponsored by Sparebanken Møre and executed in cooperation between the Department of International Business (IIF) and the Department of ICT and Natural Sciences (IIR). The project will be grounded in the NTNU-Sparebanken Møre TEFT Lab (TEFT Lab), headed by professor Øivind Strand at IIF. CPS member Ibrahim A. Hameed, who is also the head of the Digital Transformation Lab, supervises several of the PhD students involved in TEFT.
