Value chains in industrial production have broken up into parts that relocate according to company- and country-specific competitive and relative advantages. At the same time, conventional competitive factors are changing.
A survey by the Research Institute of the Finnish Economy (ETLA), ordered by Sitra and the Federation of Finnish Technology Industries and published at the seminar, shows that the Finnish mechanical industry still possesses the ability to find success that could rival the German, Austrian or Swedish mechanical industries.
What are the keys to the success of Finnish and European mechanical industry in the new world order?
