HEALTHCARE TECHNOLOGY DEVLOPMENT IN OULU

One of the central factors in the expanding know-how and success of Innokas Medical is its location in the Oulu region, Finland. Oulu is internationally recognised for its strong expertise in technology, in particular in information and mobile technology. Nokia, for example, has R&D units in Oulu.

Technologies for healthcare have been chosen as one of the future growth sectors in the Oulu region, and the results are already in sight. One of the success stories is Innokas Medical. Another well-known company operating in the field of wellness technology in the Oulu region is Polar Electro, the global market leader in heart rate monitors.

Networking of researchers and enterprises is at a high level in Finland, and it is particularly good in the region of Oulu. Innokas Medical has strong connections with both important public and private healthcare service providers with whom the company can co-operate and test the early stage products in real operating environments.

The University of Oulu and Oulu Polytechnic produce skilled labour, creating a culture of technological innovation that attracts professionals from all over Finland and the rest of the world to work for enterprises in the region. This ensures that the personnel of Innokas Medical are top-class professionals in software, electronics and mechanical engineering.

The wide range of business operations in the area has allowed the building of a versatile co-operation and subcontracting network. The co-operation partners of Innokas Medical include, for example, manufacturers of precision machining, sheet metal products and wireless technology.
