“Now is the time to modify our strategy and activities and become a frontrunner in the new service economy!” (See Reijo Paajanen’s Activity blog (Finnish only)).

TIVIT’s overriding aim is to further increase the pace of development of Finnish know-how, which in turn will ensure growth of the business activities of the whole sector, and therein the creation of new jobs. As one of Finland’s Strategic Centres for Science, Technology and Innovation (SHOKs) – TIVIT’s role is not only to bring together and systematise research and development, but also to ensure that the results of research are understood, applied and adopted as part of companies’ business practice faster than ever before.

 TIVIT sees ICT-based digital services as being the largest market of the ICT industry, which is why TIVIT is focussed on promoting the development of digital service know-how for business needs. Ever smarter services are also a means of increasing the productivity of work. TIVIT believes that Finland is perfectly placed to become a frontrunner in the construction and harnessing of digital services, as well as turning services into a major export to the global market.

In addition to ICT know-how, TIVIT also seeks to apply new innovation know-how in all that it does in order to increase the competitiveness of all the services.
