FinnSight 2015

The FinnSight 2015 foresight project of the Academy of Finland and Tekes relies on perspectives from science, technology and society. The project will examine changes in the global operating environment, emerging needs of business and society, and development perspectives in science and technology. Work of this type is needed in order to meet the challenges of innovation and research activity promptly and successfully. The main target of the foresight project now beginning is to use ten expert panels to help identify important joint future areas of expertise for science, technology, business and society. This will lay the foundation for new internationally competitive centres of excellence and expertise clusters. The panels include about 120 external experts whose work is supported by specialists from the Academy of Finland and Tekes.
