STEM recruitment
Tekna works to encourage more children and young people to choose education in technology and the sciences. Norway needs more people with this expertise in the years ahead, which is why this is one of our most important priorities.
We spark curiosity and build competence for tomorrow’s technologists
Tekna aims to ignite children’s and young people’s curiosity for technology and the sciences, while also working to ensure high competence among teachers and career advisers. Through partnerships with organisations such as Lær Kidsa Koding, Forskerfabrikken and First Scandinavia, we support activities that give children the chance to explore programming, research and technology – including coding clubs, science courses and the FIRST LEGO League.
Our goal is for children not only to use technology, but to create with it. We also encourage professionals to get involved in inspiring and recruiting for STEM subjects.

Shaping the future of education policy
Tekna works to ensure that universities and colleges make full use of digital and technological solutions in education, research and dissemination. We believe that increased collaboration between educational institutions, research environments and both the public and private sectors is essential to promote creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship. Politically, we follow up through consultation responses, input to authorities and dialogue with relevant stakeholders, as well as surveys that provide the basis for our positions.
