Would you like to hear more about BIOTEK20201/FORNY2020? The Norwegian Research Council will visit Bergen on June 21st.
About BIOTEK2021
BIOTEK2021 is a program that helps implement the government’s national strategy for biotechnology. The optimization fund is intended to contribute to further development of acquired research results and ideas from earlier biotechnological research and bio prospecting towards commercial application.
The optimization funds will finance research and development of biotechnical products, processes and services with a commercial potential.
Bergen Teknologioverføring AS (BTO) is one of seven approved project partners in BIOTEK2021. We can assist researchers in the Bergen area in writing the application and handle the commercial development of the project. In the last years, 30 – 50% of our applications have been successful. The six active projects we have in 2016 will receive approximately 44 mNOK from the Norwegian Research Council. Seize this opportunity and collaborate with us to get funding from BIOTEK2021!
