Fuel cell development in Finland Summary

Main focus on system solutions as a part of the DENSY technology program (SOFC, PEM)Financing is growing but major increases in future call for added industrial participationSome industrial companies actively involved and a great number of companies interested as a technology usersR&D concentrated in Helsinki area but research network covers other universities, too. VTT has created a good R&D infraMain emphasis on SOFC but also mW size power source is an interesting option International cooperation established (cell/stack R&D has a minor role in Finland)Tekes’ Technology programs offer our tool for trans-national cooperation

Tekes Objectives

Excellence in R&D ensures aExcellence in R&D ensures astrong national knowledge basestrong national knowledge baseExcellent R&D increases in Finland with more

companies and research organisations participating.This strengthens the national

knowledge base in sectors and clusters vitalto the national economy and society as a whole.

Internationalisation ofInternationalisation ofinnovationinnovation

The Finnish innovation environment offers companiesand research units an excellent framework for adoptingand utilising existing international knowledge as well

as for networking with high-level internationalpartners to create new knowledge and

business opportunities.

Innovative highInnovative high--growth companiesgrowth companiesThe number of technology-based companies increases;

they grow more rapidly and create newjob opportunities.

Regional developmentRegional developmentTechnology and innovation support regionaldevelopment so that the impact objectives of

technology policy are fully achieved in each region.

Productivity and renewal ofProductivity and renewal ofbusiness and industrybusiness and industry

Strong innovation activity helps existing companies togrow more rapidly. Companies and the structures ofbusiness and industry are renewed and diversified,

improving the productivity of both the industrial andservice sectors. This enhances society’s ability to

provide job opportunities in an increasinglycompetitive world.

Direct impact of innovationDirect impact of innovationon wellon well--beingbeing

Technologies are developed and utilised in away that ensures balanced development of the

economy, social well-being and the environment.

Impact of Tekes activities

Boosting exports, broadening industrial and economicbase, generating new jobs and improving well-being.
