Spinverse works with Tietoevry in running their Veturi programme and ecosystems, aiming to develop affordable, accessible, and trusted digital services for citizens globally. Spinverse supported Tietoevry in securing the funding of 20 M€ from Business Finland and is now supporting Tietoevry to run the various activities in this vibrant programme. The programme is part of Business Finland initiative to solve some of society's most pressing challenges through increased research, development, and innovation investments in Finland.
Together with the ecosystem partners, Tietoevry wants to accelerate the development of trusted technologies, develop Finland’s technological know-how and help Finnish IT companies to build globally scalable business value from responsible data-enabled platforms. Tietoevry will focus on products and services with the Nordic touch - quality, trustworthiness, privacy, regulatory compliance, etc. Taking advantage of the strong position in the Nordic market and established global presence, Tietoevry can also help to change the whole Finnish IT sector towards more easily deployable and exportable business. Through the Veturi program, Finland can drive the global transformation and become the benchmark for affordable, accessible, and trusted digital services for citizens globally.
Hundreds of new jobs and new business through accelerated development of trusted technologies
Tietoevry´s Trusted Digital Societies programme has the following targets:
- develop trusted data-enabled platforms, building on cutting-edge technology, to create scalable business value
- co-create network business models together with the Finnish IT ecosystem, expanding in global markets
- build re-usable technology modules and use open-source components to develop solutions faster and more cost efficiently
- strengthen long-term industry and academia collaboration for future competitiveness
The ecosystem has a growing number of partners from universities and companies alike who collaborate on horizontal technologies and research themes as well as on the focused topics in Banking, Care, and Energy &City. By building joint technology capabilities, developing joint commercialization opportunities, and scaling and internationalizing of joint offerings, the programme is expected to create hundreds of new jobs and generate substantial new export business by 2030.
