“Finland needs to tap new sources of growth based on new and
sustainable export strengths, as well as by revitalizing
traditional industries, fostering their capability to compete
globally through new economic competences and value added.
This transformation will require Finland to engage more in
‘radical innovation’ and become more effective in utilizing its
valuable knowledge capabilities and transforming them into
globally competitive innovation.”
