Metsä Fibre Notes 20.11.2013 6 Our motivation to take part in joint research programs: ‒ Being part of open innovation is today a must ‒ FIBIC programs aim to build strong Finnish competence platforms ‒ Focused joint research is a cost-efficient way to get high quality research results How to improve: ‒ The greatest challenges relate to IPR issues (with the current system IPR islands are avoided, but, on the other hand, program partners are quite guarded and half-hearted in terms of the actual research) ‒ For the future joint research programs we must find focused “basic research” topics. Are there such left? ‒ We have to keep existing basic industry viable to develop it further
