SINTEF has 2000 employees from 75 countries and annual revenues of three billion Norwegian kroner. SINTEF has a close partnership with Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), started in 1950 when SINTEF was founded.

== History == SINTEF was established in 1950 by the Norwegian Institute of Technology (NTH), which was later merged into the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). It was originally intended to be an arm of NTH extended towards industry, where professors at NTH saw opportunities to build up a mission research business and used SINTEF as an instrument to do that. Through 1980, the activities were organized as SINTEF departments with the local professor in charge. With that link to the university in mind, the full name was, until a statute change in 2008, the Company for industrial and technical research at the Norwegian Institute of Technology.
