Vision: Vision DM 292117 04-2007 Copyright © Tekes Finnish industry will develop products and services based on fuel cell technology for global markets. This will take place in cooperation with foreign technology partners, the research community and the Finnish government. The priority areas are stationary and portable fuel cell applications and specialist vehicles with fuel cell power modules.


Mission : Mission The Programme will improve the level of fuel cell research in Finland. It will create new business for Finnish companies by applying fuel cell technology rapidly and by utilising international cooperation frameworks. The Programme will encourage cooperation between the various players through new supply chains and networks. DM 292117 04-2007 Copyright © Tekes
