Partnership models that combine the efforts of private and public sector are important means of creating attractive environments and incentives for long-term cooperation between academia, business, and other research, development and innovation (RDI) actors. One of the strategic priorities of the Finnish National Roadmap for Research, Development, and Innovation, launched in 2020, is the development of a new public-private partnership (PPP) model to accelerate RDI cooperation between higher education institutions, research institutes and business. Finland aims as a national target to increase the investments of RDI-activities to 4% of GDP.<br/>This study aimed to support the development of this partnership model. The study was commissioned by three Finnish export federations: The Forrest Industry, The Chemical Industry and the Technology Industry. The study was conducted by Gaia Consulting Oy and VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland in the spring 2022
