Abstract
SIRE Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SIRE-SRIA 2022), this document, describes the major challenges, wanted impacts and medium to long-term R&D&I themes to tackle them, in the area of the Green, Circular Economy oriented, and Sustainable Digital Transformation of Finnish Sustainable Industry X (SIX). Selected themes are based on international and national goal setting and selected sources are shown. The purpose of this document is to influence to the creation of new national R&D programs of Business Finland and Academy of Finland by setting a groundwork for the establishment. Long term plans are aiming also to influence to EU research and innovation landscape. To achieve objectives, SRIA must reflect the dynamics of industry, characterized by continual technological advances and new applications being invented at an ever-increasing pace. Therefore, this SRIA is not meant to be a static document; instead, it will continue to evolve – with reviews and regular updates. This continuous process will enable all SIX stakeholders to be constantly aware of new emerging technologies, potential game-changers and the evolving long-term vision of the industry.
The research themes are spanning the entire SIX value chain, from foundational and cross-sectional technologies to application fields. There is need for integrated strategy for linking basic science to applied research in Sustainable Industry X, cutting across the different stages of research and development, i.e., from basic science, fundamental and applied research to market uptake, including education and training, entrepreneurship, and innovation infrastructures that are necessary to address the dimension and complexity of research challenges in Sustainable Industry domain. SIRE SRIA is not a project roadmap as such, but readers can update or create own project roadmaps based on this document. This Strategic Research and Innovation Approach (SRIA) has been prepared by the Sustainable Industry Ecosystem (SIE) Academy of Finland project (2021-2022), with a major contribution being furnished by the project partner, VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd, in collaboration with other project partners. Wide industrial feedback was collected in SIE project workshops.
