Møre og Romsdal fylkeskommune offers funding for projects that contribute to green transition, sustainable value creation, and development of future-oriented business in the county. The grant scheme supports projects aligned with the goals of Grønt industriløft Møre og Romsdal, providing concrete climate and environmental benefits, increased preparedness, new value creation, and stronger collaboration between companies, knowledge environments, and other relevant actors. Projects must promote green transition, strengthen preparedness and transformation capacity, contain innovation or clear novelty, create value for applicants, partners and the region, have potential for further development after the project period, and facilitate learning, communication and dissemination of results. The funding is particularly relevant for initiatives in green maritime industry, biomarine industry, circular hubs/value chains, or other projects supporting green industrial growth in the county.

This grant program supports fire safety measures for culturally and historically valuable dense wooden building areas in Norway. The program is administered by county municipalities (fylkeskommuner) and is available to municipalities, owners, and managers of selected dense wooden building environments of cultural-historical value as defined by Riksantikvaren (Directorate for Cultural Heritage). The grant supports measures that contribute to early fire detection, prevent fire spread, facilitate easy extinguishing, and the creation or updating of fire safety plans. When distributing funds, county municipalities prioritize grants for fire safety plans for areas that lack or have outdated plans. Applications are submitted through the Digisak portal, with the next deadline being November 1st.

The grant program for cultural heritage competence in municipalities (KIK) is designed to strengthen competence and provide better oversight of heritage-worthy cultural environments, cultural heritage sites, and landscapes in Norwegian municipalities. Riksantikvaren allocates grants from the state budget to support work on cultural heritage competence in municipalities. The program prioritizes initiatives that strengthen the protection of cultural heritage interests in planning under the Planning and Building Act. The funds should contribute to increased competence in municipalities and promote collaboration. It is particularly important to consider cultural heritage as part of local and regional preparedness work to ensure and preserve cultural heritage interests. In 2026, the program continues largely as before, with a focus on completion of cultural heritage plans, implementation of risk and vulnerability analyses (ROS analyses) of cultural heritage, and targeted competence measures for regional administration. For regional administration, priorities include targeted competence initiatives that provide increased knowledge about management of cultural heritage in municipalities according to the Planning and Building Act in line with updated national initiatives in the cultural heritage field, and initiatives that provide increased knowledge about safeguarding cultural heritage in preparedness work.
