Verso - Vertical Software Solutions 2006-2010
(Source: www.tekes.fi/verso)The Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation (Tekes) launched a new technology programme for the software business in the beginning of 2006.
Tekes has initiated a study into the requirements for establishing a new technology programme related to the software product business. It is planned that the study into starting up a new software area technology programme will be completed by the end of the year.
Finland has good expertise in software production. What's more, we have developed many globally advanced programmes, which are used by our customers in certain fields of business. For example, internet banking was in use in Finland before other countries. Corresponding examples from other areas sparked the idea of giving a boost to the business-area specific software product business by means of a technology programme.
