Mission

The task of the Nanotechnology Cluster Programme is to help Finland remain globally competitive in the profitable utilisation of nano- and microtechnologies. The mission of the cluster programme is:

To accelerate and strengthen the development of nano- and microtechnologies and future materials utilising them, as well as the profitable utilisation of these by Finnish companies.

This mission will be implemented by networking and activating co-operation between the various partners:

  • The activities are based on developing regional strengths and combining these into a national strength.
  • The best research and technology expertise, as well as business partners from across Finland and even globally, are sought for companies within the regions covered by each centre of expertise.
  • The right companies and research partners from across Finland and even globally are sought for research organisations within the regions covered by each centre of expertise.
  • Developing the value chains of large companies that manufacture and market mass products globally and SMEs that develop new technologies is central to the mission.
