NCE - Cluster innovation

Hello!

We are three students from Østfold University College who will write our bachelor thesis on business model innovation in the NCE Smart Energy Markets cluster.

The survey will help us with our improvement work, and we greatly appreciate your helping us.

The survey is anonymous, and only we will have access to your answers. No one at your business or the others in the cluster will have access to your answers, so please answer as honestly as possible.

Thank you!
