| | A Nordic Test Lab for Scaling â tender now open!
Nordic Innovation has a tender out for developing a Nordic Test Lab for Scaling. The contract value is up to NOK 14 million.
The high Nordic startup rates are not turned into equally high firm growth rates. Nordic Innovation wants to procure a scaling model and its implementation during a two-year pilot period. The objective of this tender is to design a concept for a Nordic Test Lab for Scaling that will stimulate high-growth entrepreneurship in the Nordic region and to test the concept during a two-year pilot period.
The pilot should contribute to creating a more unified Nordic community around the Nordic scale-ups and more mature SMEs with high-growth ambitions, and be a means to stimulate the overall economic growth in the Nordic countries.
Deadline for tenders is 9 March 2017.

Feather and trees shall make the Nordics greener
Through the Nordic Green Growth Research and Innovation Programme, Nordic Innovation, NordForsk and Nordic Energy Research have funded six exciting projects that will accelerate the transition towards a sustainable Nordic society with more than NOK 70 million.
The projects aim at developing new technologies, products and knowledge. Among them we find several projects that want to utilise lignin, a waste product from the wood industry, in various ways. Another project is developing technology to use feather from the poultry industry as feed for animals while reducing waste, while other projects are investigating conditions for green transition and circular economy.
âBehind the chosen projects, we find some of the best research institutions and most innovative industry actors in the Nordic region. I am sure their project results will accelerate the green transition in the Nordics and show that we are global frontrunners in green growth when we cooperateâ, says programme manager Svend Søyland from Nordic Energy Research.
The Nordic Green Growth Research and Innovation Programme is one of the highlighted activities in the Norwegian presidency of the Nordic Council of Ministers.
