10.4.1 Organisations and organisational capital
The 136 projects involved a range of organisations, from private companies
and universities, to research organisations and a range of public and quasipublic organisations such as interest organisations. A total of 498 entities from
around the world contributed to the projects. The nature of the Bionær programme promotes collaborations with Norwegian actors in general: a number
of the programme areas particularly promote collaborations with private entities. The breakdown of project participation reflects this (see Figure 10.1).
The majority (364 or 73%) were based in Norway, with a further 21% (105)
from the rest of Europe; primarily the other Nordic countries (36 or 7%).
The remaining 6% (29 or 5.8%) came from the US or other countries. This
suggests that knowledge in the bioeconomy is indeed global but that it is
organised and anchored nationally or regionally.
10.4.1.1 Norwegian partner entities
Roughly 360 of the entities that participated in the Bionær programme
during the period of study were based in Norway. The following Figure 10.2
groups the activities of these Norwegian entities into aggregates of primary
NACE rev2 classification. Following from the figure above, the bar- diagram
can be divided into two broad sectors. The private sector, which accounts for
slightly more than half of the entities, is arrayed on the lower part of the
Figure 10.1 Types of organisations by region: gross breakdown (n = 498): projects
active in the period 2010–2016.
