Future trends and the basic assumptions of the Oulu
Inspires – Innovation Strategy 2007-2013
The success and growth of companies in the global market
is based on international business and marketing competence.
1. The Oulu region has a sufficient number of businesses
with a high aspiration level, to which strategic resources
will be allocated.
2. New business opportunities are discovered by matching
local competencies and business domains with the potential
of the global market. All business branches are potential
innovation domains. To help cultivate ideas into innovation,
businesses are provided with the access to professional
facilitation.
3. Innovation activities have to be internationally
networked.
4. Services become an increasingly important part of
economic growth.
| The choices in the Innovation
Strategy have been made based on analysis of current
local and global development trends, the set goal
and five basic assumptions. The validity of these
assumptions is evaluated during annual strategy
update rounds. |
