The Finnish Research Impact Foundation

The Finnish Research Impact Foundation works to promote industry-academia cooperation from the vantage-point of academic research interests and considerations. FRIF’s role is to facilitate joint research projects that not only bring commercial success but also strengthen Finnish expertise and research excellence.

The Finnish Research Impact Foundation was created by the Finnish government in 2019.

This is how we promote industry-academia cooperation in practice: 

  • FRIF invests annually some two million euros to support research collaborations through its Tandem Industry Academia funding programme. The funding is mainly driven by research interests and objectives. The funding criteria are based on academic research considerations, with a view to achieving more effective practical application of research results.
  • Projects funded by FRIF provide the opportunity to collect and produce information about research-driven industry cooperation and the conditions for its success.
  • FRIF produces insights into the conditions for research-driven industry cooperation and contributes to the public discussion around the subject.
  • FRIF facilitates meetings and exchange between Finnish industry and academia.
