LINC Program
The Launchpad for Innovative Norwegian Companies (LINC) program is a collaborative effort between the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI), Innovation Norway, and NADIC, to accelerate an annual cohort of defense tech companies as they work to address the urgent national security needs of the U.S. and allied militaries
The LINC cohort is paired with U.S service providers, who provide coaching on how to navigate the U.S. military-industry ecosystem, direct connections with end users, and introductions to key U.S. investors and procurement officials.
The Norwegian companies also gain added exposure in the U.S. market through participation at leading defense trade shows and the Team Norway ecosystem in the United States.
