Finland has lacked a national agenda for industry which could serve as a vanguard for indistrial investments, research and public decisionmaking. In 2020, discussions about creating such industrial agenda increased in industry, academia, and The Ministry of Economic Affairs. VTT has contributed heavily to the theme by launching Sustainable Industry X – A national initiative supercharging Finnish industry performance and sustainable growth through innovation and knowledge.
SIE collects contribution and input from industry forerunners in a series of five workshops shortly after the vacation period (late August – September 2021). In the workshops, the participants should look at the SIE mission at large and work towards a joint agenda for Finnish Sustainable Industry. The aim is to further identify concrete research, resource or educational needs and existing ecosystem and cluster level roadmaps of industry. The first workshop will be held in Finnish.
