What is our role?
Innovation Norway has been given different roles under the EEA and Norway Grants.
More specifically, we have roles in those areas where the funds are aimed at developing industry and business and establishing long-term economic relations between Norway and the partner countries.
For some partner countries Innovation Norway directly operates the funds. For other countries Innovation Norway only acts as an advisor and partner for the funds operator.
Who are we?
Innovation Norway is the Norwegian Government's most important instrument for innovation and development of Norwegian enterprises and industry. We are also the Government’s official trade representative abroad.
The EEA Grants are jointly financed by Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, who contribute according to their size and economic wealth. Of the 993 million EUR set aside for the 2009-14 period, Norway has provided 95.8 percent, Iceland 3.0 percent and Liechtenstein 1.2 percent.
