The Jakobstad region is teeming with innovation and entrepreneurial spirit – but how can we take a step further together? Our new AKKE-funded project Innovation Boost Jakobstad Region aims to create better conditions for collaboration between companies in the region and actors in research, development and innovation (RDI).
This is your chance to strengthen your company’s competitiveness and future-proof your business. We know that many small and medium-sized companies struggle to find the time and resources to take advantage of the RDI expertise and tools available. That’s why we want to make it easier for you to navigate the opportunities that exist and at the same time build bridges between your business and the expertise that can take you forward.
What can you expect from the project?
- Greater insight into the range of RDI services and tools: We map out what resources are available and how they can be adapted to the needs of companies in the Jakobstad region.
- Matchmaking events and workshops: Meet experts, developers, and other innovators who can contribute to the development of your business.
- Inspiration from forerunners: Be inspired by local and national companies that have succeeded with their RDI efforts.
- Connection to Business Finland’s Veturi projects ecosystem: We will help you get to grips with these major projects and support you in finding your place in the ecosystems.
- Help with finding suitable funding for your RDI ventures.
Why should you get involved?
RDI is not only for larger companies with large research departments. SMEs often have the flexibility and innovation capacity to quickly put new ideas into practice. By participating in the project’s activities, you will have better access to the knowledge and resources that can help you develop new products, services and ways of working.
