The amount of environmental data is increasing, and the data would be valuable to the society if they are delivered to the right processes at the right time. In the seminar, we show examples of available data, how they are produced and processed, and how the data can be used in new innovative applications.
This presentation is part of the Environmental Data for Applications Seminar held on the 23rd of September 2015. The seminar was organised by the MMEA (Measurement, Measuring and Environmental Assessment) research programme under the Cleen Ltd (SHOK). The presentations are based on the research results related to environmental data interoperability. The participants included key players and partners in the field of environmental monitoring in Finland.

Wait – big players are going to do it anyway
Question: why Finland should always rely on foreign big
companies ?
Find a common solution
Company or co-op
Question: are Finnish key players willing to take the risk, even
a small and shared risk? There are always a “1000 reasons”
for why it wouldn’t work.
Find an innovator, entrepreneur
who sees the opportunity and creates a story that convinces
financiers and other stakeholders, and collects a winning team
Question: where we would find a “Mark Zuckerberg“ or a
“Sergei Brin“ for the job?
