Abstract
Finland is actively embracing the possibilities of
Internet of Things. The strong competence in mobile and
wireless communication technology is seen as a valuable
asset. The Finnish R&D community has reacted to the
rising importance of IoT. The national funding
organisation launched a seven-year program on ubiquitous
computing and communications (Ubicom) in 2007. Recently,
national Public Private Partnership organisation Tivit,
with the support of Tekes, launched a four year IoT
programme with estimated budget of ca. 60 M . The program
is driven by multinational companies Ericsson, Nokia,
Renesas and Metso alongside a number of SMEs . VTT is the
largest research partner involved, others including
University of Oulu, Aalto University and TUT.
