Overview

TNO is an independent research organisation. We believe in the joint creation of economic and social value. We focus on transitions or changes in five social themes:

Industry, for a strong, internationally competitive business community.
Healthy Living, for a fit, healthy and productive population.
Defence & Security, for decisive action in an uncertain world.
Energy, for faster progress towards a low-carbon energy system.
Urbanisation, to innovate for dynamic urban regions.

Innovation with purpose is what TNO stands for. We develop knowledge not for its own sake, but for practical application.

TNO connects people and knowledge to create innovations that boost the competitive strength of industry and the well-being of society in a sustainable way.
As broad organisation it is impossible to list all the equipment present within TNO. However, on the website of TNO all our fields of expertise can be found and there also the present equipment is described.
