The project will create a modern operating environment in the Arctic Biolaakso, where innovation platforms and piloting environments will be designed to enable the development of carbon-neutral technology. The measures will strengthen both MITY’s and companies’ R & D activities. The development of the operating environment will enable the creation of new jobs in SMEs and thus support the creation of new growth firms. The project will help SMEs to access subcontracting networks of global companies. The project will result in a road map for the validation of measuring devices. In the short term, companies can use it to accelerate the commercialisation of innovations and, in the longer term, it will increase the skills of companies and research institutions and enable new business to be created;
