environment policy
• arguments for mutual benefits
– The wellbeing of the municipal and regional economy is
dependent upon the vitality of the local commercial
enterprises
– Enterprises will seek out regions with desirable expertise
and which also have readiness to produce it more in the
future
– Support for new fields of growth, this is anticipated to
bring new enterprises, jobs, and through them, also an
increase in tax revenues (incl. research-based industries)
– Pilot environments important for both development of
services and commercial product development
– Creation of networks in selected fields of growth are an
important tool of the business environment policy
Research–services-enterprises
•
If the development procedures of research,
services and enterprises are more closely
matched, will it create
–
–
–
opportunities for enterprises to increase their
productivity?
more resources to public sector to reform service
structures and produce first-rate health and
wellness services?
research activities a functional way to adapt and
analyze services?
Could the solution in development of future services be
closer cooperation between public, private and the
third sector as well as new operation models,
supporting networking and service production based
on the latest health and wellness technology?
Utilization of research
expertise in services
• challenges for success
– opening of the parties for network-based
development
– identification of changing roles and creation of
cooperation culture
– mutual networking of enterprises, municipalities
and researchers
– municipal sector’s service as development
environments
– identification of processes and resource claims of
the change phase vs. cost effectiveness
Needs for change of operations
• functions at the national level
– intensified cooperation between
administrative sectors
• e.g. increasing STM – TEKES –cooperation
• a financial support system to speed up
processes -> readiness improves
– growing networking and internationalization of
national centres of excellence and their new
openings
– service providers (municipalities) must be better
integrated into programme development and
coordination
Operation model
in Kuopio
•
Kuopio’s role is to support the health and
wellness core
–
–
–
–
–
investments in expertise and the Science Park are a
part of the business environment policy (development
of the innovation system)
development of the technology centre (Teknia)
long-term strategic activities and follow-up of their
effectiveness
good cooperation culture and mutual agreement on
setting of aims (city and municipalities, KU,
Polytechnic, Teknia, district administration)
continuous informing of the trustees, and other
interested parties
Utilization of research
expertise in services
• The role of the Health Kuopio Programme
– to combine and promote acts in order to strengthen the
expertise core and to support enterprises’ operational
conditions at the highest levels
– to support processes which Kuopio equally values in applied
research and product development
-> development city
– benefits of development projects in research – enterprise
- services
• R & D operators: application and assessment of results
• enterprises: a real pilot environment and preferential
assistence
• municipalities: activation of service processes
– examples are important -> Health Kuopio Programme
Kuopio as initiator and facilitator of cooperation
Some aspects for cooperation
