RCN Research Commercialisation — Qualification and Verification
Backs two-stage commercialisation pathways for Norwegian research organisations and spin-outs.
RCN's research commercialisation pathway consists of two rolling instruments for publicly funded research organisations, TTOs, and early-stage spin-outs. Qualification grants (NOK 100k–500k, 3–12 months) provide funding to assess commercial potential before committing to full development. Verification grants cover de-risking activities to demonstrate technical and commercial viability. Both calls are open-ended rolling intake. The 2026 Qualification pool is NOK 60M; Verification pool is not published on the index page. These are distinct from Innovation Norway's commercialisation instruments (Oppstartstilskudd), which target incorporated startups rather than research-stage technology.
Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
