The mission of goIT

In partnership with Tata Consultancy Services goIT in Norway we provide a home for supporting all who pursue ideas with passion for world changing Green Impact.

To help product developers break down complexity, discover dependencies, and get a better understanding of the products for their own development team and all stakeholders involved. It is used to demonstrate value to your stakeholders and obtain market feedback.

Innovators meet, collaborate, work, design, build a prototype, celebrate, and learn. Featuring international mentors from industry, goIT is the hub of innovation activities at INNO-SCI. It is the home of new experimental arena dedicated to nurturing innovation & entrepreneurship (I&E) towards building Green and Sustainable products.

Innovations and revolutionary products rarely start out as a physical object. They may start out as a concept in someone’s head; But you cannot succeed with just ideas alone. Developing a fully-fledged product can be a long, complex process filled with trials and errors. However, there is one key step that all ideas must go through if they are to become successful end-products.
