Export promotion
Grant to participate in trade fairs
Is your company considering being an exhibitor at a future international fair together with other Norwegian companies? Does your company plan to participate in joint events related to the fair? In that case, you can apply for a grant.
A grant of up to 50% of project costs that fall under the scheme can be granted, a minimum of NOK 20,000 and a maximum of NOK 70,000 per company. This means that the company can get approved project costs of between NOK 40,000 and NOK 140,000. The company’s own share (such as equity/own funds or loans) must be at least 50% of the project costs. The individual company can be granted a grant for participation in up to three export promotions per calendar year.
