Programme for User-driven Research-based Innovation (BIA)

Intentions for BIA

be an active partner in further developing the knowledge intensive Norwegian industry

engage in the best innovation projects

mobilise industry to increased R&D investments

finance large ambitious projects

stimulate networks between sectors and scientific disciplines

Important characteristics for BIA projects

Research-based innovation High potential for value creation Competition based on quality Public investment must be vital for realisation of the

project

Target groups:Existing industry. “The best companies in existing industry shall become even

better.”New industry. ”Opportunities for new companies with exceptionalambitions for R&D to realise projects ideas.”

Centres for Research-based Innovation (CRI)

designed to fund long-term research conducted in close cooperation between Norway's most research-oriented companies and its most prominent research communities.

centres will be funded for five to eight years at a support level of 50 per cent of their total operating costs

the target group is research-intensive companies and dynamic research groups whose collective long-term research agenda focuses on generating expertise and solutions of the highest international calibre

SFI awarded to Construction Industry

COIN - Concrete Innovation Centre (v/SINTEF)The aim of the centre is to become a leading actor in concrete research in Europe. New advanced materials, efficient construction technology and new design concepts based on environmentally sound materials, shall be developed. Fibres shall replace steel reinforcement in many constructions.

Structural Impact Laboratory - SIMLab (v/ NTNU)The aim of the centre is to establish technology platform to develop safe an cost effective construction. The ability of light constructions to sustain impact loads is a core challenge.

The Norwegian tax incentive scheme

Incentive to improve the R&D and Innovation

Covering all enterprise sizes, all types of companies and all types of projects

18-20 % tax deduction for companiesgetting project approval by RCN

A great success !!
