At, Winnovart, it is part of our mission to bring transparency in the grants-based market space. We do this in the funding areas and for the funding mechanisms we are working with. This is why we are introducing a very comprehensive analysis of the EEA & Norway grants statistics available so far (the business programmes operated by Innovation Norway). We believe this might be the most comprehensive analysis so far on the market and we trust this will enable you to make better decisions when applying for funding under this mechanism.
Based on the competition results and other official statistics published by the Fund Operator, we are reviewing: the real level of budget allocation vs the initial budget announced for the competition; real budget allocation across the programme focus areas and funding streams; average funding intensities; projects distribution between focus areas and funding streams. The analysis presents data and conclusions that might be different to what the competition calls and guidelines were presenting upon the programme launch.
If you would like to discuss a new project idea with us or accelerate your access to funding:
This is our analysis of the Energy Programme in Romania, 2019 competition, based on the final results published by the Fund Operator during 2020, covering Call 1 Hydropower, Call 2 Geothermal, Call 3 Other RES and SGS-1 Hydropower, geothermal and other renewables for SMEs and NGOs.
