Annual report 2023

Even though 2023 did not go as we hoped in regards of the battery industry, we can see that the rest of the businesses are going well. Kunnskapsparken Bodø has on behalf of RU and MIP looked at the development in Rana in a five year perspective. The report was mase public in the beginning of january 2024 and shows that it has been created 605 new positions since 2018. The turnover and the export has increased, and the same has the number of staff in MIP. Some of the increase in turnover and export is because of inflation and valuta.
