The IT department of Kerala and the Finnish government are looking at forging a strong partnership and collaboration to foster innovation and entrepreneurship.
This comes in the wake of the bilateral discussion held by Technopark CFO KC Chandrasekharan Nair with Indian Ambassador to Finland Aladiyan Manickam during his visit to Finland. Nair, represented the state in the 4th Global Forum on Innovation & Technology Entrepreneurship organised by the government of Finland and InfoDev (World Bank) recently at Helsinki.
The aim of the meeting was to identify various opportunities for Finnish companies to set up shop in Kerala through ‘Finn-partnership’. The programme provides advisory services and financial support for projects of Finnish companies in developing countries. The match-making services provide assistance for companies in developing countries like India looking for Finnish business partners to enhance commercial co-operation.
The companies in Technopark can also plan their overseas operations in Finland. Nair invited Finnish government, Nokia Corporation and the Indian Embassy at Helsinki to Kerala for further talks.
