MASI - Modeling and simulation 2005-2009

Tekes launched a programme on modelling and simulation (MASI) in January 2005. The programme has now ended. Results can be found on programme's final report.

In 2005, Tekes' MASI programme was launched to support the development of the Finnish modelling and simulation sector and to promote the utilisation in industry of the sector's tools and methods. The central aims of the programme were identified as the aggregation of phenomena models into wider and more integrated models, more extensive implementation and utilisation of the sector's tools and methods in the business of small and medium-sized companies especially, and the development and strengthening of the range of services offered by the sector. The aim of this was to effect renewal across Finnish industry and business, and to lift the competitiveness of both.

The programme's expansive nature and its targeting at several different areas of industry and business also meant that its target group and the content of the projects covered a rather wide and comprehensive area of Finnish modelling and simulation expertise.

For its part, the programme has furthered the development of a multidisciplinary outlook and operational model in Finland, and promoted a culture of co-operation both within Finland and internationally. Utilisation of the expertise developed in the projects and the results of the projects has had, and will continue to have, a significant impact on Finnish society and business more broadly.
