«We are now seeing fewer applications for these schemes, so we want to highlight that significant grant funding for innovation is still available for the rest of the year.»

— Leon Bakkebø, EVP Financing

Importantly, we are now removing the 25 per cent cap on funding for established businesses.

This means there are still good opportunities for Norwegian businesses that need to reduce the financial risk of their innovation projects.
