 Innovation loans are offered to businesses with an innovative project that is believed to be commercial for which full financing is difficult to secure.

 An innovation loan normally delivers 50% of the total capital needs of a project.  The repayment period is adjusted depending on the purpose of the loan. Interest is

set at a favourable rate, especially in light of the risk normally inherent in such projects.

(39)

Research and Development Contracts (RDC):

 Grants for innovative projects which involve a committed collaboration between Client and Contractor.

 Collaboration assumes that both parties contribute at least 30% of the resources for the development work.

 Important criteria at the time of application:

 High innovation content and uniqueness  National and international market potential  Project feasibility

 The expected impact of the grant in terms of increased potential  The financial viability of your business

Photo: FORNAVN ETTERNAVN  Through demonstrations and market introduction of new technology, Enova

promotes new technologies and solutions in the energy market.

 The technical solution should be in place by the time Enova enters the process. Enova’s contribution focuses on demonstration and qualification of costs and other important features of the solution.

 The programme is mainly aimed at energy consumers, not energy suppliers.  The investment must lead to defined energy results – new energy production or

reduced energy consumption.

 Public concession contracts and/or required public approvals must be in place prior to applying.
