Nordic Marine Innovation Programme 2.0 aims to promote cross-sectorial innovation where the marine sector seeks to cooperate with other sectors in order to create new solutions. To fulfill the aim we are addressing the target group; suppliers of technology, knowledge and services within the marine industry.

The total amount of funding under this call for proposals is approximately 40 MNOK, depending on national co-funding. Nordic Innovation has allocated 15 MNOK to the call.
