Nordic Industrial Fund

Nordic Industrial Fund

The Nordic Industrial Fund (original name: Nordisk industrifond) is a fund initiated to promote research, innovation and education within the industry of the Nordic Countries. It was administered by the Nordic Council of Ministers, and established on 20 February 1973 [1]. It had two divisions: the Bio and Chemistry Division and the Materials Technology and Standardization Division. In 2004, the fund was merged with Nordtest, to become known as the Nordic Innovation Centre (originally Nordisk Innovations Center).
