SIVA – The Industrial Development Corporation of Norway.

Aims to develop strong regional and local industrial clusters

through ownership in infrastructure, investment and knowledge

networks as well as innovation centers.

The Research Council of Norway (NRC) is the official body for the

development and implementation of national research strategies.

NRC is responsible for awarding grants for research as well as

promoting research and science

Innovation Norway is the Norwegian Government's instrument

for innovation and development of Norwegian enterprises and

industry. Norwegian enterprises have access to a broad

business support system as well as financial means. Innovation
