In our research, we utilize advanced technologies such as bioreactor production, vertical farming and 3D printing.
One of the results of our research activities is a network, an innovation ecosystem, with which we strengthen regional expertise, business life and internationalisation.
We work together with the University of Helsinki and Laurea University of Applied Sciences.
Several companies are already involved in the project. We also welcome new business partners.
