Over the years I have described regional development, developed MDI’s data services and worked with reports, studies and evaluations related to regional development and industrial and innovation policy. I am a planning geographer by education and am currently finishing my doctoral thesis in regional science at the University of Tampere. In my doctoral thesis I examine Finnish innovation policy, the reformation capacity of regions and organisations and network-like innovation in Finland’s urban regions. I have worked at MDI since 2010 as a specialist and later as a partner.
