Abstract
This work is in progress. The paper reports on the long
term objectives and research results achieved in the
on-going REAfrica
project. The REAfrica project collects information on
renewable energy and increases knowledge/awareness of
renewable
energy solutions and markets in Sub-Saharan Africa. The
purpose is to support Finnish companies in the renewable
energy sector to develop on the African markets. The
entry into a new geographical area also involves a new
business culture.
The paper considers the potential of collaboration and
networking with local partners both on business and
research
levels as a method for business innovations. The research
collaboration needs to evolve into ecosystem level
collaboration
to create enough momentum to activate a "Three level
collaboration ecosystem
