The Research Council of Norway has announced 1 billion NOK for innovation and demonstration projects. You can apply from August and we can help you succeed.

The Innovation Project call targets companies with research and development activities. The Demonstration Project call aims to test and verify new solutions with end-users. The final call is expected in June, and companies can apply in August.

Starting in 2024, the Demonstration Project will be part of the Innovation Project call.

See the outline for the call.
