This allows us to help convert complex high-tech projects into successful funding applications. Our services range from assisting contract negotiations and managing funded projects to training effective proposal writing and analyzing research and innovation policies.

Innovayt is passionate about helping clients finance their innovation projects and create a positive impact on markets and society. We want to be the preferred European partner for innovation finance by connecting ideas, entrepreneurs, businesses, researchers, with funding opportunities.

Our project teams add value across the innovation cycle: from ideation and concept development to technology and science, as well as market strategy and finance. Our clients include both industry and Academia, ranging from large multinationals to Government agencies, SMEs, start-ups, universities and researchers.

An important part of our strategy is to grow our business in Norway which is why we are searching for Senior Consultant focusing on Business Development for our Oslo office.

About the role:

As a Senior Consultant you will take a proactive lead in business development, building and sustaining client relationships, and expanding Innovayt’s presence in the innovation landscape in Norway. We have strong presences in the health sector, an area we also will continue to develop further. Another focus area is within new energies such as hydrogen, energy storage, CCUS, renewables and decarbonization of energy-intensive industries.

You will be engaged in assisting clients in designing and presenting their cutting-edge new energy and low-carbon technology/research projects for funding, nationally and internationally (ENOVA/European Innovation Fund, etc.). In addition to grant instruments, our goal is to be a trusted advisor on topics such as loans, equity, and tax incentives.

Why you should be interested:

• This role isn’t just operational, it’s strategic. You’ll be at the forefront of Norway’s decarbonization journey, helping startups and established players bring transformative ideas to life making a real impact, commercially and societally


• This is a rare opportunity to be a trusted advisor to companies at the cutting edge of energy innovation. You will build a powerful network of entrepreneurs, innovators, and decision-makers revolutionizing the energy and sustainability sectors.
