Study title

The present follow-up survey is based on interviews with 1,583 companies distributed across 22 different services and programmes. The 22 services and programs are divided into four main groups. Group 1 is Loans, group 2 is Grants, group 3 is Programs that offer both financing, advice and networking, while group 4 is Scholarships. It is important to emphasize that Innovation Norway provides advice related to all its services and programs, but there are some services and programs that have advice as part of the program content itself - not just advice related to the actual case management. The services and programs that are not included in the survey account for approximately NOK 700 million in commitments and are mainly linked to profiling and internationalisation. In addition, there are a number of network projects that have been omitted from the survey (for example, neither the Arena nor the NCE program is included). The reason why these programs and services are kept out is primarily that the survey system the Customer Effect Surveys are based on is less suitable for these services and programs, and that you have your own effect measurements for these. Innovation Norway was established on 1 January 2004.
