NUMBER OF COMPANIES IN PARTNERSHIP PROJECTS
The networks bring companies and knowledge institutions together via a number
of activities that include individual matchmaking for companies and researchers, as
well as idea generation in order to design concrete partnership projects. These are
activities aimed at concrete partnership projects that can help researchers try out
new knowledge in practice, and also meet smaller companies’ need for rapid and
visible results.
Chart 3.3. shows the number of companies that in 2006-2010 cooperated with the
knowledge institutions as a consequence of being “brought together” in the network.
