Nordic Edge Agritech Cluster Joins EIT Food and AgriFoodTech Norway

Why This Matters for Nordic Edge Members
1. Access to new Innovation & Knowledge Sharing
As a member of EIT Food, Nordic Edge gains direct access to a big European network of agritech innovators, researchers, and industry leaders working on the future of sustainable food production. This includes collaboration opportunities on EU-funded projects, access to the latest research, and participation in innovation programmes that shape the agrifood industry. Our Agritech Cluster members can request information and join projects through Nordic Edge. Read more about EIT Food here.
Through AgriFoodTech Norway, our members will also benefit from the expertise of other Norwegian agritech pioneers who are already developing game-changing technologies to optimize food production sustainability. Read all about AgriFoodTech Norway here.
2. Strengthened International Market Entry & Funding Opportunities
Many Norwegian agritech companies are already making a move internationally, and our involvement in these networks provides an even stronger platform for global growth.
- EIT Food facilitates connections with investors, accelerators, and established players in the agrifood sector, enabling members to attract funding, scale solutions, and pilot technologies in new markets.
- AgriFoodTech Norway is designed to build a national team of high-potential agritech companies, supporting them in their journey toward becoming leading global exporters of sustainable food technology.
3. Collaboration & Strategic Partnerships
Innovation works best when its a team effort, and these memberships position Nordic Edge members at the heart of two powerful networks where new partnerships can grow. Whether it’s teaming up with European start-ups through EIT Food’s innovation programmess or co-developing solutions by working together in AgriFoodTech Norway, the potential for success is present.
A Step Towards a Sustainable Future
The world’s demand for sustainable food production has never been greater, and Norwegian companies are uniquely positioned to contribute with self-developed, new technology. By joining EIT Food and AgriFoodTech Norway, Nordic Edge take a bigger role on behalf of our members to help shape the future of agritech, ensuring that our members are at the front of innovation, market expansion, and impactful collaboration.
— With these new steps in our Agritech Cluster we bridge the gap between national innovation and international markets, and can better help our members reach their full potential – with better funding opportunities, stronger strategic partnerships, and faster access to new export markets, says Gunnar Crawford
