1.2 SCOPE & METHODOLOGY<br />

This report is formatted from the current situation (report analysis) to the future (assumptions<br />

and recommendations on key trends, mega trend, and how the report analysis fits into the<br />

scope <strong>of</strong> super trends).<br />

§ Section I the Executive Summary provides a synopsis <strong>of</strong> our ideas <strong>of</strong> relevance to the<br />

Mirhami companies. This section also contains the purpose & objectives, and the scope &<br />

methodologies used in the 2006 research.<br />

§ Section II the global report summary and analysis is a compilation <strong>of</strong> the research from the<br />

2006 reports supplemented by additional research in August/September 2007. This section<br />

contains economic and industry insight.<br />

§ Section III provides the foresight including weak signals and trends identified which lead to<br />

our conclusions <strong>of</strong> the driving forces. This is supplemented by the six supertrends to<br />

further our visions <strong>of</strong> the year <strong>2030</strong>.<br />

Meetings between FFRC and Finpro were conducted regularly throughout the year in 2006 in<br />

person in Helsinki and by telephone with FFRC for the <strong>Phase</strong> I country reports. In 2006 two<br />

separate teleconference groups were conducted: (1) led by Jaana Tapanainen and including<br />

China, Germany, India, and Japan; and (2) led by Sharon Vegh including America and Russia to<br />

finalize <strong>Phase</strong> I. The reports were sent to FFRC in January 2007, with the exception <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Germany report which was received in July 2007.<br />

In early 2007, China (Maarit Ahola) joined the 2 nd group. In spring 2007, an interim meeting<br />

was held in Turku to discuss summarizing the global reports. The Mirhami program was<br />

reassigned to the restructured Life Science Team led by Meria Heikelä in Summer 2007. The<br />

outcome is this global summary managed by Maarit Ahola and conducted together with Sharon<br />

Vegh. Maarit Ahola now sits on the Steering Group. The project was conduced in June to<br />

September 2007. The result is the content <strong>of</strong> this report, <strong>Phase</strong> II.<br />

Due to time restrictions, the complexity <strong>of</strong> the field, and continuous research and<br />

commercialization in the countries studied, and in Finland, intensive comparative analysis is<br />

outstanding and should be conducted.<br />
