Innovasjonsprosjekt i næringslivet: Mat og bioressurser 2026

The Research Council of Norway aims to address major societal challenges in a climate-friendly manner and promote research-driven innovation and transformation in the business sector. This call is for applications where the area of application for the innovation is within Norwegian agriculture, forestry, forest management and wood use, farming and food industry. The call supports innovation projects that contain a significant element of industrial research and/or experimental development. Expected results can be a new product, service, production process, or a new way of delivering products and services, as well as substantial improvements or new features of existing products, services, or processes. The Research Council supports projects with a scope and risk profile that indicates companies would not be able to carry out the project without funds from the Research Council, meaning the support must be decisive for initiating R&D activities.
