Abstract
The Chapter explores how building product manufacturers
have perceived the innovation context in Finland since
the 1960s when many modern construction technologies
started to emerge. The analysis is based on qualitative
data from a project considering the knowledge interaction
between product manufacturers and research organisations.
It could be concluded that the Finnish construction
sector including its related manufacturing and service
sectors has been a pioneer in adopting environmental and
sustainability concepts and developing new approaches
thanks to multidiscipline and forwardlooking interaction
between various stakeholders.
