Collaboration model of the University of Vaasa

Academic foresight meets business performance

The role of universities in society is to lead science and innovation on a broad spectrum. Instead of looking at bringing single products to market, the core task of universities is to study opportunities in science and technology in their early stages of development. New and exciting things happen when free and independent thinking takes place without the time constraints and financial obligations of the business world.
