The development of green technology is crucial for the green transition, but also for Norwegian innovation and export. Green SMEs play a significant role in this, but they find it difficult to attract funding as they often have a higher financial risk profile.

 To reach our climate goals, private capital flows need to be redirected towards sustainable investments. A study by Menon Economics on the availability of capital for Norwegian climate technology highlights the lack of access to risk capital for green, capital-intensive industrial projects as a challenge[1]. Thus, if we want Norway the global frontrunner, on green technology and solutions then we need to improve access to financing for green SMEs.
