RDI activities support the development of the Oulu region and Northern Finland. Oulu UAS co-operates with local enterprises to ensure high-quality education and constant development.

In addition to the strategy, Oulu UAS’ RDI work is guided by Oulu Innovation Alliance, a strategic co-operation agreement formed in 2009 by Oulu UAS and the City of Oulu, the University of Oulu, VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, and Technopolis Plc. Oulu UAS is committed to focusing its activities on the agreed areas of innovation, investing in agreed infrastructures and developing mechanisms for the joint use of the alliance.
