THE IMPACT OF TNO
Impact means that customers and partners use and apply the knowledge we have developed optimally. We strive for maximum impact, particularly in solving major societal challenges. We will increase our impact in the coming years. Not by wanting, being able or knowing everything ourselves, but by developing integrated solutions together with other parties.

We focus on topics where we can really make a difference. Where we are distinctive. Subjects of sufficient scale, where TNO has a 'right to play', due to its knowledge and position. Which are of multidisciplinary nature and appeal to our skills. What we do, we do well, or we don't do it at all.
We create impact in many areas, but our contribution to solving major social issues is often difficult to measure. That is because the large-scale application often follows years later. In addition, innovation is not only the sum of our (partial) contributions, but also those of other parties.
POSITIVE IMPACT AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Social challenges are increasingly being approached from the perspective of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). That is why we have made our contributions to SDGs transparent. In this way, we are committed to the global agenda for sustainable development and positive impact on society. Our model highlights the most relevant SDGs for TNO.
