Finland in ITEA

Finland has been an integral part of ITEA since its start in 1998, fostering collaboration between SMEs, large industries, research institutes, and universities. This collective effort has resulted in clear business and societal impact across various sectors. While ITEA projects with Finnish participation successfully tackle all ITEA key challenges, there's a distinct focus on addressing Smart Engineering, reflecting the nation's commitment to innovation and advanced technological solutions.

On this webpage, you will find an overview of activities and publications of Finland in ITEA. It provides valuable insights into the potential benefits of participating in an ITEA project and whether ITEA could be a fit for your organisation. You can also find information regarding the funding opportunities and the national funding contact details.

Impact stories with Finnish participation

With the (financial) support of national Public Authorities, many ITEA projects have achieved incredible results, which are gathered in ITEA Impact stories.
