The ​​​Centre for Industrial Business Development is a research centre that focuses on topics related to the intersection between industry, business development and innovation. The centre is part Nord University Business School.

Our vision is to be leading in research and education in subjects relating to industry, business development and innovation. Because of this we work closely with innovative tech-companies in Norway, and both national and international research communities. 

We also contribute to the educational activity on the bachelor’s degree in economics and the MBA in technology management. Since the start of the centre in 2013 we have had four PhD candidates defending their PhD at Campus Helgeland, and more PhD candidates and PhDs have been recruited to the centre.
