5 03/10/ Otaniemi Technology and Innovation Hub Otaniemi is the largest technology, innovation and business hub ín Finland and in Northern Europe (according to the number of companies and R&D centres located within its vicinity). Otaniemi is physically located in the City of Espoo (Finland's second largest city) and within 8 km (15 minutes by car) from the centre of Helsinki, Finland's capital. Otaniemi features a mix world-class research organisations, academic institutions and over 800 companies from start-ups to multinational corporations operating around a compact 2x2 kilometre campus. Twice selected by the EU as one of the most innovative regions in Europe, Otaniemi is a community of over 32,000 people with 20,000 students and 16,000 technology professionals from 110 different countries. There are 5000 researchers within walking distance.

6 03/10/ VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland VTT is ranked among the leading European research and technology organisations and is committed to responsible collaboration for achieving the EU 2020 goals. VTT is a government organisation established by law and operating under the auspices of the Ministry of Employment and the Economy. VTT operates under the public mandate established for it by the Act on the Technical Research Centre of Finland 953/2010 (this Act entered into force 1st of December 2010 and supersedes the Act on the Technical Research Centre of Finland (144/1972) and all amendments subsequently made to it). VTT is impartial non-profit expert organisation acting independently in respect of its customers. The objectives of VTT are to create high level scientific and techno-economic knowledge and know-how and to generate technology and innovations for industry and society.

8 03/10/ GTK in Brief The Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) is a European centre of excellence in assessment, research and sustainable use of Earth resources. Our mission is to produce and disseminate geological information for industry and society that promotes systematic and sustainable use of crustal resources and the national geological endowment. GTK research programmes are geared to creation of innovative technology and applications. GTK serves as Finland s national geoscientific information centre and participates actively in international research and project work. GTK is an agency of Finland s Ministry of Employment and the Economy

9 03/10/ GTK in numbers and expertize GTK is one of the largest geological surveys in Europe with focus on minerals and their sustainable use Expenditure 57 M Personel 632 of which 82 have Ph.D. degree Special expertize: mineral resources, ore geology, mineral exploration, mineral processing, mine environments, applied mineralogy, bedrock geology, geodata management, applied geophysics, institutional strengthening of developing countries

14 03/10/ Toward the Future - T3 Strategy and Beyond By 2030 there will be 15,000 new jobs and 300,000 new m2 of commercial space. According to city of Espoo's T3 strategy plans Otaniemi will be integrated into the neighbouring Keilaniemi and Tapiola districts creating a unique campus that combines research, art and business

15 03/10/ VTT, Aalto and GTK Experience in European Collaboration By June 2012, VTT, Aalto and GTK, in total, have received FP7 contribution 171 M from European Commission To make an impact requires long, established relations with several stakeholders and a good reputation. VTT and Aalto are core partners in the EIT KIC ICTLabs as of Both have practical experience in the EIT and KIC model. This is an advantage, as the EIT structure differs greatly from traditional EU projects! We have learned from the experience. VTT and Aalto have set up co-operation in financial, legal and operative matters in EIT KIC. We have the capacity to establish a co-location centre as well as to handle all the financial and legal issues that come with it
