2. Key to a human-centric society
“Key” refers to the use of the Ecosystem Forum model as a tool for the Government and ecosystems involved. It helps to explore the interconnections within ecosystems through Solutions Workshops.
Human-centric approach is encouraged. It steers the focus on individuals and companies instead of administrative agendas and silos.
Ecosystem Forum looks for ethically sustainable solutions to national and European challenges. It brings added value and international visibility to Finland and innovative companies.
