Norsk Hydro
After creating an adequate process, Birkeland and Eyde founded the Norsk Hydro-Elektrisk Kvælstofaktieselskab "(lit. Norwegian Hydroelectric Nitrogen Share-Company)" to commercialize it. This undertaking was partially financed by the Wallenbergs, an influential Swedish family. Norsk Hydro also entered into an agreement with Banque de Paris et des Pays-Bas S.A. in 1905.
