Marine biotech in Norway continues to make waves
Posted On: December 6, 2011Some 30 million NOK are to be made available for new initiatives alongside continuing support for established programmes such as MABIT and Marbank.
The Norwegian government acknowledged awareness of the importance of marine biotech to the economy by allocating dedicated funds within the new budget in October. Some 30 million NOK (3,84 million EUR) are to be made available for new initiatives alongside continuing support for established programmes such as MABIT and Marbank.
“We will have the first call for proposals from the new biotech program (BIOTEK2021) in February says special adviser Steinar Bergseth, who has long championed the sector.” Also I am pleased to say that internationally Norway is taking a lead in this area – perhaps only naturally considering our marine traditions and the length of our coastline.
