Under the Nordic Council of Ministers, Nordic Innovation supports collaboration between the Nordic countries.
NordOest was tasked with setting up and running the Nordic Innovation Hub, an incubator for companies from the Nordic countries within the sustainable technology sector and based in Masdar City, Abu Dhabi. The incubator offered a soft-landing spot and business and technical development support as well as access to the region’s clean tech network.
Desert Control offers a proprietary technology with a promise to make the desert green again by reversing desertification and soil degradation.
As a Norwegian company with no direct access to desert regions, the mission in the Middle East was to pilot and fine tune the liquid nanoclay technology with local farmers. In alignment with this vision, Nordoest sourced and facilitated the application of the Expo Live Grant which landed the company the seed funding for this pilot in 2017. Desert Control’s success in the region has now translated to the company being publicly listed.
