Innovation Norway Export Trade Fair Grant (Eksportfremstøt)

Innovation Norway Export Trade Fair Grant (Eksportfremstøt) sits under Innovation Norway and supports Norwegian SMEs that want to meet international buyers at trade fairs. The grant is aimed at companies with 1-99 employees that bring their own developed products or solutions to the fair, so it fits exporters that already have something concrete to show rather than early research teams. Support ranges from NOK 20,000 to NOK 70,000 per fair, and a company can receive help for up to two fairs within a 12-month period. Applications are rolling, and the public route runs through Innovation Norway's online project portal. The record also notes a separate pre-approval path for fairs already cleared by industry associations. That structure makes the program a practical export tool rather than a broad internationalisation subsidy. It favors firms that can move quickly, present a finished offer, and document why a fair will open sales opportunities. State-aid compliance under GBER and ESA rules is part of the process, so applicants need to be comfortable with formal grant administration as well as the commercial pitch.

Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
