Enterprise Policy

21/10/2010 // EU enterprise policy as such falls outside the EEA Agreement. However, some of the EU programmes in the field of innovation and entrepreneurship fall within the scope of the Agreement. Important policy developments and activities are followed closely by the EEA/EFTA countries.

Norway participates in the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP) for the period 2007-2013 and Norwegian organisations and businesses may participate in calls for tenders under this programme.

Enterprise Europe Network  in Norway is the contact point for this programme in Norway. Norwegian authorities participates in the Executive Agency for Competitiveness and Innovation (EACI), and Norway also finances three seconded national experts to the European Commission related to the participation in the CIP programme.

Although enterprise policy as such falls outside the EEA Agreement, most of the fields covered by the Agreement are relevant to enterprise policy.

Further development of the Internal Market is one important aspect of enterprise policy, as well as e.g. research, the Information Society (ICT) and Better Regulation.
