The aim of the International Business Powered by Talents project is to promote the renewal, diversification, growth, competitiveness and employment of the Pirkanmaa region by strengthening companies‘innovation and internationalisation capabilities and the renewal of public sector services by bringing the international talent potential in a comprehensible and business-driven way to companies’ use. The project’s measures are largely based on co-creation, rapid experimentation and digital exploitation. The project will contribute to the growth and internationalisation of SMEs by improving their capacity to recognise the importance of international competence as a competitive factor of the future and to utilise international experts in business reform and innovative product and service development. The co-development of the project will bring together companies, business service organisations, innovation platforms and international talent, thus promoting dialogue between sectors. The project will strengthen the efficient use of interactive approaches and platforms for dialogue and innovation between SMEs, talents and the public sector, which are seeking growth and taking the first steps towards internationalisation. In the business services workshops organised in the project, the region’s business services field is approached from different angles and thus seeks to find new and surprising development opportunities. The aim is to design and digitise business services in such a way that the competence of international experts would bring clear added value to the growth and internationalisation of companies. The project is responsible for horizontal objectives, in particular for the sustainable development of the local economic fabric and the development of intangible products and services. The aim of the project is to involve a wide range of industries and to offer equal opportunities for all to participate in them. The project will test a variety of digital business services, the content of which is created by international experts. The project aims to involve SMEs and international talent in the region more actively in the region’s business hubs and innovation platforms. During the project, Pirkanmaa will start its activities “The Round Table”, the aim of which is to strengthen dialogue between business and international networks of experts. The project’s measures will encourage and activate the participants to find new innovative solutions for the development and deployment of products and services. The project will result in a comprehensive business service package targeted at the needs of companies, where companies can find the support they need for the growth and internationalisation of their own business, and which make better use of the expertise and innovation potential of international experts in the region. The service package will be made part of the regional support services of companies. This will bring about a more permanent structural change to equip the region with international know-how. The package strongly supports the implementation of the Talent Boost Operational Programme of the Ministry of Employment and the Economy, strengthening the corporate dialogue and piloting the Talent Hub model in large cities.
