Long been the key to efficient manufacturing, but current robots mostly perform rigid tasks in a production pipeline. What is the thrust of robotics today? Where is the hotbed of implementation? Finland is ranked among the top 10 nations using industrial robots, with robotics innovators expanding in coming years in universities and research institutes, which are investing heavily in robotics engineering and testing. How are you keeping up? 

The Internet is born global and knows no boundaries. Key industries driving innovation and growth were spurred from rapid and fast adaptation of (ICT) & DIGITALIZATION. Exploring digital innovation is “coded in the Finnish DNA”, as well as in Norway, Iceland, Denmark, Sweden and the Baltic states such as Estonia.
