What Innosolutions does

InnoSolutions AS is a Norwegian technology and investment holding company headquartered in Stavanger, founded in 2006 by Snorre Grønningsæter and owned by SGR Invest AS. The group operates two primary businesses plus an advisory services arm. The first is FundingPilot, a self-service SaaS platform whose AI agents autonomously navigate and complete application portals for Norwegian public funding schemes — Innovasjon Norge, Forskningsrådet, Enova, SkatteFUNN, and EU funds — covering market research, documentation, writing, project accounting, and reporting through to disbursement. The platform is marketed with a claimed 3.2× higher approval rate than traditional grant consulting and a reduction in per-application time from approximately 40 hours to 40 minutes, combining self-service SaaS access with optional human advisory from InnoSolutions' consultants.

The second operating business is Elebia Norway, the group's wholly-owned Norwegian distribution brand for Elebia automated lifting hooks — remote connect/disconnect crane technology used to remove personnel from hazardous lift zones in offshore, shipyard, and heavy-industry operations. Elebia Norway has been active in Norway since 2016 and supplies named enterprise customers including Hydro, Elkem, Aker BioMarine, and NorSea. InnoSolutions also markets a portfolio of professional services — web app development with AI at the core, AI consulting, financial analysis, digitalization, and business development — primarily targeting Norwegian SMBs and mid-market firms.

Commercial distribution is heterogeneous: FundingPilot is delivered via product-led, self-serve SaaS (fundingpilot.no) with global web access; Elebia Norway operates a domestic distributor/wholesale model; advisory services are sold via direct field engagement. InnoSolutions reports 1–10 employees, does not disclose revenue, has no disclosed institutional investors or external funding rounds, and generates a weekly Norwegian-language AI newsletter ("Ukens AI") as a top-of-funnel demand-generation asset. Strategic focus is concentrated in Norway across all three revenue streams (SaaS subscription, professional services, and hardware distribution).
