The programme aims to support companies in deploying new digital solutions such as artificial intelligence, robotics, high-performance computing, IoT and cybersecurity. The European Commission selects Finnish EDIH organisations on the basis of a proposal from the Ministry of Employment and the Economy. The aim of the Robocoast consortium’s activities is to develop the growth and competitiveness of the Finnish manufacturing export industry and its subcontracting chains, as well as to attract top experts and investments.
