Nordic Innovation offered grants for activities promoting Nordic solutions for sustainable, smart and liveable cities to relevant stakeholders from outside the Nordic region. The funding decision has been postponed due to high interest.
By supporting Nordic Innovation Houses in Hong Kong, Singapore, Silicon Valley and New York, Nordic Innovation aims to respond to challenges caused by the global Covid-19 pandemic and help enable transition towards virtual activities.
The Nordic countries are facing challenges with regard to a growing population with an extended lifespan, and a rising number of senior citizens, patients with chronic diseases and people with lifestyle diseases. But there are effective and sustainable solutions that can increase quality of life for Nordic citizens.
The 17 projects included a total of 84 participants and combined they applied for NOK 37.343.072 in the call for proposals on circular cities and new circular solutions.
The received applications will be assessed by a Nordic Innovation team, after which they will be evaluated by an external Nordic evaluation panel. The funding decisions are expected in early June.
Nordic Innovation has created a digital catalogue showcasing some of the latest ready-to-use innovative solutions from Nordic companies that all can be utilised in the battle against COVID-19.
