Business today is networked and dynamic. Collaboration is the key to innovation and successfully solving complex and systemic challenges. VTT speeds up innovations through ecosystems, for instance in smart energy solutions and autonomous systems.
Key facts: innovations and business ecosystems
VTT speeds up innovations through ecosystems, for instance in smart energy solutions and autonomous systems.
Innovation ecosystems enable efficient cooperation between international research institutions and businesses.
The keys to survival are renewal, adaptability and resilience.
Innovation ecosystems combine the variety of partners necessary for innovation to identify new opportunities, find solutions and co-create value. Large companies, small and medium-sized enterprises, start-ups, public sector and research organisations are all key innovators when tackling the grand challenges, such as climate change and resource sufficiency.
VTT has initiated international innovation ecosystems focusing on our strategic priorities. Our innovation ecosystems provide solutions to challenges relating to smart energy, bioeconomy, synthetic biology, future food production, preventive health care, autonomous systems, industrial renewal and the electronics industry.
The power of ecosystem is based on effective sharing of information and capabilities. VTT innovation ecosystems are designed to enable efficient cooperation between international research institutions and businesses, and to make Finland the home of leading innovation clusters in these fields.
Business ecosystems turn research findings and innovations into international business
Constant change, competition and cooperation are present in business ecosystems. There are always opportunities for a single firm to thrive, find a niche or manage its position in the ecosystem. Through boundary-spanning business models firms can create vision, alignment, and commitment.
Successful implementation of open and networked collaboration models in business ecosystems increases revenues and growth and fortifies the commitment of all actors within the ecosystem.
