Finding a partner in Norway
The website Finding partners in Norway has been established by EEA Grants to help applicants find partners from a range of sectors, particularly within public companies, institutions, ministries, non-governmental organisations and social partners.
 
If you are looking for a non-governmental organisation, NGO Norway's information portal provides an extensive list of NGOs in Norway, with a good search function to help your search.
 
For participants looking for a partner within the business and industry sectors, you may seek information from the Official Norwegian Trade Portal, or contact a relevant sectoral federation of NHO - the Confederation of Norwegian Enterprise.
 
You may also seek advice from one of the Cooperation Programmes' programme advisors from Innovation Norway. With the programme advisors you can also discuss potential partners before you contact them.
 
Finding a partner in Bulgaria
For central authorities in Bulgaria, with links to ministries, visit the Government of Bulgaria’s official website, or the website for EU's Structural Funds in Bulgaria.
 
If you are seeking local governments, the National Association of Municipalities in Bulgaria can be a good place to start.
 
For private companies, there are a number of relevant organisations: the Bulgarian Industrial Association, the Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and the Confederation of Employers and Industrialists in Bulgaria.
 
If you are seeking an NGO, you may have a look at the Research Centre Foundation.
