Tilskudd til bredbåndsutbygging i Østfold

Tilskudd til bredbåndsutbygging i Østfold (Grants for broadband rollout in Østfold) is a grant scheme published by Østfold fylkeskommune on its own website under the "Næringsutvikling" funding category.

What it funds and how much. The scheme page states that for 2026 there is "21 651 862 kroner til fordeling" (NOK 21,651,862 available for distribution). No per-applicant maximum or minimum amount is printed on the page, so those fields are left null. The page states projects must address either households or businesses lacking broadband of at least 300 Mbit/s, or areas lacking mobile coverage or having only 2G coverage.

Who can apply. According to the page, applicants are "Kommuner i Østfold, eller flere kommuner i samarbeid" (municipalities in Østfold, or several municipalities in cooperation).

When and how to apply. The page states "Søknadsfristen er 30. juni 2026" (the application deadline is 30 June 2026). Applications are submitted through the Regionalforvaltning portal: "Søknad sendes via søkeportalen Regionalforvaltning", linked to the Østfold fylkeskommune scheme list on regionalforvaltning.no.

Contact and documents. The page names adviser Igor Glisovic as contact, with email igorgl@ofk.no and telephone 48 67 64 80. It links to the guidelines for the broadband grant ("retningslinjer for tilskudd til bredbånd") and references a departmental assignment letter available via NKOM.
