Finland invests € 10 mio in Innovative Printing project

I listened last week at the PulPaper conference to a presentation on a unique project: Innovative Printing. This project started last year to support the development of consumer oriented media products. It has a total budget of € 10 mio for 2-3 years and the support and participation of the leaders of the Finnish media industry. Already today research projects have been allocated to 26 different projects. Perspectives on the Innovation Strategy come from very diverse industries, including Bio, Chemicals, ICT and Automation, and will include technologies as micro, nano, screen and material technologies and photonics. The programme has started with the print industry and will expand to the electronic media and mobile services in the next phase. This month a Strategy Team will present the Innovation Strategy till 2010.
