The project received co-financing from Innlandet County. \n\n\n\nThe project built on results of a previous FORREGION project on regional innovation ecosystems and laid groundwork that contributed to establishment of several projects to develop national and Nordic Innovation Ecosystems with a connections to the Inland Region of Norway and Greater Oslo Region. \n\n\n\nProject results\n\n\n\nThis project created a large national and international partner consortium of innovation actors\, business actors\, research institutions and universities\, which led to the establishment of several project consortia since the start of the project\, and which submitted 9 applications for collaborative projects to the Research Council\, EU ERDF (Interreg)\, and EU Horizon in 2023 alone. \n\n\n\nIn addition\, work is underway to establish 6 large coordination and innovation/development projects in consortia consisting of\, among others\, Klosser Innovasjon\, Vaager Innovasjon\, Skåppå\, Smart Innovation Norway\, the Norwegian Agency for Digitalisation (Digdir)\, NCE Heidner\, NCE Manufacturing\, NCE Smart Energy Markets\, Cluster for Applied AI\, Norway Health Tech\, Rikshospitalet\, University of Oxford\, University of Oslo\, NTNU NORCICS\, SINTEF\, Institute of Energy Technology (IFE)\, Norwegian Computing Centre\, Inland University College\, Østfold University College\, several municipalities\, private business actors\, and foreign innovation actors.  \n\n\n\nResults are described further below related to the effects and continuation of the project. \n\n\n\n1.
