In need of start-up funding?
Are you and your cluster company in need of early stage funding? Apply for Innovasjonsrammen by the 10th of September and compete for important start-up money.
Early financing for establishing companies is often limited, but can be absolutely crucial to get important projects off the ground. Therefore, Innovation Norway has created the special funding program Innovasjonsrammen (English: Innovation Frame) to support cluster start-ups at an early stage.
All our start-up members are invited to apply for money and note that you have the possibility to collaborate with partners outside the cluster.
NOK 10 million in funds are available for the calender year 2018. Two of our cluster members – Seald and NorGenoTech – received funding earlier this year through the program, NOK 300 000 each.
For the online application system.
