Funding

FORNY is a program assigned to promote innovation financed by The Research Council of Norway and Innovation Norway. BTO is the commercialization actor of FORNY in Bergen. Our role is to ensure that applications are in accordance with the requirements of FORNY, before we send them to The Research Council.

Innovation Norway has several good funding schemes available for early stage projects with commercial potential and for recently established companies that are in the growth stage. BTO collaborates with Innovation Norway in Bergen and assists researchers in preparation of applications.
