Klyngeprogrammet

Klyngeprogrammet is described on Siva's website under the name "Klyngeprogrammet Norwegian Innovation Clusters". The page states its aim is to "bidra til verdiskaping i næringslivet i Norge gjennom å utløse, forsterke og gjennomføre samarbeidsbasert utvikling" (contribute to value creation in Norwegian business through unlocking, strengthening, and implementing collaboration-based development). The programme seeks to reduce risk in exploration and innovation, increase economic value for member companies, and strengthen clusters' roles in the green transition and long-term growth.

The programme is structured into three tiers: NIC Connect, NIC Explore, and NIC Impact, operating under the parent programme "Norwegian Innovation Clusters". The page links to Innovasjon Norge's website for the cluster tiers but does not publish amounts, co-financing rates, a total budget, instrument type (grant/tilskudd), eligibility criteria, application deadline, scheme code, or application URL/email.
