Hav21 Ocean Industries Strategy

Hav21 is Norway's ocean industries strategy under the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries. It coordinates public support for the blue economy across ocean energy, aquaculture technology, maritime decarbonization, and related ocean-sector R&D, with delivery routed through partner agencies rather than a single stand-alone call. The program is a grant route with annual activity in Norway. Award sizes in the available data run from EUR 188,000 to EUR 4.7 million, and consortia are required, which pushes the line toward collaborative projects rather than isolated company work. That makes the strategy most relevant to Norwegian teams that can bring together industrial, research, and public-interest partners around a specific ocean-economy challenge. The strongest fit is a project with a clear sector anchor and a coordinated execution model. Proposals should look like part of a national marine-industrial agenda, not a generic innovation request. The programme is therefore most compelling when it connects an ocean technology problem to a credible consortium, a Norwegian footprint, and a deliverable that can move through the sector value chain.
