The Novo Nordisk Foundation is an international foundation focusing on improving people’s lives and sustainability of the society. The Foundation awards grants for research projects based on applications it receives in open competition and for strategic projects for which the Foundation takes the initiative. The Foundation has two grant instruments within Innovation, the Pioneer innovator Grant and the Distinguished Innovator Grant, both of which are open for researchers in the Nordic countries.

BioInnovation Institute (BII) is an international commercial foundation with a non-profit objective supported by the Novo Nordisk Foundation. BII operates an incubator to accelerate world-class life science innovation that drives the development of new solutions through the creation of life science start-ups for the benefit of people and society. BII offers help to early-stage projects and start-ups in health tech, bio-industrials and therapeutics through their various programs. They can provide funding up to 2.5m euros. They are open for applications twice a year. September is the next deadline for applications.
