Business Finland has granted 20 million euros to a five-year ecosystem-based initiative led by TietoEVRY. The project will focus on building trust-based digital services.
The aim of the project is to expand research collaboration, accelerate the development of new technologies, develop Finland's technological know-how and through ecosystem cooperation enable Finnish IT companies to embark on a globalization journey, which increases Finland's technology exports.
The project will among other things explore new business opportunities for data platforms and development of the data-driven society, as well as accelerate the transition to cloud services.
The project is expected to create hundreds of new jobs in the technology sector. The goal of Business Finland's initiatives is to create ecosystems of significant size, up to one billion euros in revenue.
In the initiative, TietoEVRY will focus on the following industries: Social, health and welfare sector, Finance sector and Energy sector.
“We are excited about the opportunity to lead this project. We are developing products and services that reflect our Nordic values: quality, reliability, privacy and security. This project will allow Finland to stand out internationally as an example in providing safe, easy-to-use and reliable digital services for the citizens,” says Kimmo Alkio, President and CEO, TietoEVRY.
