The Fund’s new application portal (funding.nftvfond.com) is designed to make the application process run more smoothly through a few changes, summarised in this article for new and old applicants.

The Fund’s renewed application portal will open January 3rd 2024 at 10:00 CET.

Go to the portal: CLICK HERE.

An administrator must first be registered by all companies, regardless of previous accounts. The administrator can then approve or invite additional users within the same company. For enhanced security the portal will implement additional account verification measures. Administrator registrations will be approved and activated by the Fund continuously.

During the transition period, existing applications will be accessible and processed via the old portal: CLICK HERE.

If your project is ready for an instalment before end of January, please upload all required documents as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary migration between two systems.

If you want to process or access any project in old portal, please do it before January 30th, at 16.00 CET.

Your projects will be available in the new portal from February 5th.
Remember to re-register, and use the exact same VAT.

In the new portal, drafting and/or submitting multiple applications will be possible.

One of the major changes in the application form concerns the submission of the financing plan. The new portal will require filling out the financing plan directly in the portal, upon attaching valid documents. You may apply for funding only when the financing plan matches the submitted budget and other requirements are done.

The requirements for applying will remain as before, with two exceptions. In the application for Industry Initiatives, a description of the initiative’s Nordic aspect is required.

Regarding instalments for all schemes, you no longer need to upload separate invoices once you have added and confirmed bank details when requesting instalments.

These two changes will be updated in the Fund’s guidelines in February 2024.

The application check lists are already updated on our site: CLICK HERE.

In 2024 the Fund will be collecting material on green strategies in the Nordics. If your production or industry initiative has a sustainability plan, you will be asked to attach it. The question is submitted as part of the Fund’s sustainability research, and will not affect the financing decisions.

All materials, such as portraits, stills, posters and trailers, are to be uploaded in the portal, and no longer sent per email. When uploading final materials, please confirm the project’s title and the date of its premiere.

The Fund’s policies for distribution support have recently been updated due to an increased amount of applications. Please check the renewed Funding Policy before applying.

The system is designed to easily enable all communication regarding your application via the portal. This is the most timesaving way to contact your Senior Advisors when needed. Frequently asked questions regarding applications and answers to them are available directly in the portal.

Feel free to contact the Fund’s System Admin, Mathias K. Ferre, mathias@nftvfond.com, with any questions or concerns.
