Elite InNorvate Growth LP

About

Elite InNorvate Growth LP (the “Fund”) invests in Norway-based growth companies which have been in business for at least two years, generate revenue and aim to scale outside Norway. These companies must operate in selected sectors where Norway has a competitive advantage and will enjoy the financial support of the Norwegian Government – such as grants, forgivable loans and other incentives – to accelerate company growth.

Investment Merits

  • Unique opportunity to invest in Norwegian growth equity supported by the Norwegian Government through co-investment or matched funding
  • Selected and structured by experienced investment managers and advisors with a wide network of industry partners to scale companies (tech, VC and corporate finance)
  • Structure provides annual dividends for mature investment, the growth upside of a venture capital investment, and downside loss absorption
Key Sectors

Due to its successful oil industry, Norway had until recently under-invested in other sectors of its economy. One of the central drivers of its startup scene is now Innovation Norway, which invests on behalf of the government with a total value of 25.3 billion NOK ($3 billion).

Innovation Norway has identified six key sectors to prepare for the country’s future growth and sustainability. These areas are expected to receive the most subsidies and offer the most leverage for portfolio companies.
