New Funding Programme for tourism sector

Friday, 01 October 2010

The Nordic tourism sector has strong potential for further innovation and development. Nordic Innovation Centre (NICe) introduces a new focus area and funding programme: “Innovation in the Nordic Tourism Sector – New Products and Services”. NICe invites small and medium sized companies, and other relevant actors, to apply for funding of co-operative tourism innovation projects. The proposals should primarily focus on the development of innovative products, services and concepts to accelerate the Nordic tourism sector.

The purpose of this new funding programme is to promote innovation in the Nordic tourism sector. NICe invites Nordic, West Atlantic and Baltic Sea actors from the tourism industry and small and medium sized companies to submit project proposals (Expressions of Interest - EOIs). Industry federations, innovation institutes, national and regional public bodies, market research organisations, trade associations and other relevant organisations can also submit proposals.

The overarching goal for the funding programme is to foster new comprehensive experience products, services, export concepts, cross-sector approaches and new forms of organisation, as well as new marketing methods and sustainable tourism.

NICe’s estimated budget for the funding programme is NOK 12 million.
