Tivit is committed to ensuring even more rapid development of Finnish ICT know-how. The aim is both to increase the speed with which new innovations reach the market and also to increase the know-how and promote the growth of both companies and research communities.
Tivit plc. was founded in 2008 and is a Finnish Strategic Centre for Science, Technology and Innovation (SHOK). In accordance with its status, Tivit has the express purpose of implementing wide-reaching research projects which go far beyond what most individuals or organisations could hope to undertake and achieve on their own. Tivit produces an annual vision and strategy document concerning the field of ICT, and also works dynamically to form a research portfolio to correspond to the needs of industry. In addition, Tivit also brings together individual studies to form larger research projects – before ensuring and obtaining their funding.
Tivit has an optimally lightweight structure and works in a straightforward, transparent and open fashion. The basis of Tivit’s activity is determined by the research areas laid out by the 46 companies, universities and public organisations that own Tivit. This group is comprised of large companies, together with small and medium-sized organisations. The fact that Tivit is owned by different types and sizes of organisation means that different opinions and viewpoints are voiced whenever decisions are made. This, in turn, makes it possible to make innovative headway and engenders belief in the future – while also ensuring an effective combination of solid engineering know-how and business practice.
