Industry projects are financed via the tax deduction scheme SkatteFUNN and within research programmes such as the user-driven research-based Innovation programme (BIA). Long- term research projects are funded through the Centres for Research-Driven Innovation. Project support also can be found in thematic programmes such as PETROMAKS, Petropol, DEMO 2000, RENERGI, and gas projects in the Barents Sea region, which are believed to hold 60 percent two icebreakers from HavYard Leirvik.
