THE FUNDING MAP / GRANTS AND DEADLINES
Nordic Innovation open calls
Nordic Innovation runs thematic calls rather than a standing startup grant. The Nordic Secondary Critical Raw Materials Value Chains call has closed. Current open calls are the RAMP preparatory projects call for the EU Raw Materials Partnership and a new call, Mobilising Capital for Nordic Growth and Scale-ups, which funds Nordic projects that improve access to capital for growth companies, scale-ups and funds. Relevant for hardtech companies working on raw materials value chains, Horizon Europe proposal preparation or scale-up financing.
Deadlines
Calls appear irregularly and exclude pure studies, networking events and technology development without feedstock access.
Checked 2026-10-12 against nordicinnovation.org . Confirm on the official page before you plan a submission.
