Ending in 2007, the programme focuses on areas for developing are the earning potential of a product and life- cycle support, lowering production costs and shortening delivery times in the Finnish marine industry. At the moment, there are 34 separate research and develop- ” ment projects, most of them in private companies, and only few at the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland and Helsinki University of Technol- ogy,” said Teppo Virta, the manager of the technology programme at the end of 2004. “The total budget of these development projects is EUR 26 million, including EUR 12 million in public support. The compa- nies have committed to investing 14 mil- lion in the programme, which is a remark- able signal of their R & D enthusiasm. The programme is open to all Finnish compa- nies and research institutions willing to improve their operation and products and increase the competitive edge of the Finnish marine industry.” One of the goals of MERIKE is to improve the networking of companies and management of information on the 4 SEATEC 2005 Web.
