NUUG Foundation is an independent Norwegian foundation (established in 2000 from proceeds of EUnet International) that promotes the development of an open infrastructure for digital processing, storage and exchange of information. It provides financial support—project grants and travel grants—to open-source projects, conferences and individuals working to improve computing or Internet technology, on the condition that results are made freely available to the community. The foundation manages significant assets (around 60 million NOK) and is exploring a more active/investing approach to support startups and scale-ups while maintaining its focus on open infrastructure.
