MDI – Your European project partner

MDI is a regional development consultancy operating as part of FCG (Finnish Consulting Group). We seek to promote societal engagement through research, evaluation, innovation and participation work using both data-driven and qualitative approaches.

Our goal and focus

Our goal is to further develop Finland through the promotion of better development work. Our focus is fundamentally client-centred, we have developed extensive connections with all key stakeholders at the national ministerial level and with regional and local administrations as well as with third sector actors from the economic, social and educational sectors. We believe two-way policy learning and transfer – from Finland to Europe and vice versa – is a key element in this development process. As such, we seek to help mediate between these spaces by disseminating the ‘Finnish ex-perience’ more broadly while, at the same time, introducing our Finnish clients to new ideas and meaningful benchmarks from elsewhere in Europe.
