Want to speed up your idea?

Young entrepreneur in Northern Norway? Norinnova will take your idea out into the world

Ten lucky startups will be selected each year to participate in Arctic Ignite. As a participant, you will receive an initial capital of NOK 130,000 to be able to develop your business idea through the programme. Maybe it's you too who runs away with over NOK 800,000 in the end?

Today, it can be difficult to raise capital for young entrepreneurs in Northern Norway who want to start their own business. We at Norinnova want to do something about this! We want to contribute to more businesses being established by young, promising and committed entrepreneurs in Northern Norway.
