Project
Well-being and growth through prototypes (ProtoKS)
Project sponsors
The main objective of the ProtoKS project is to develop a model for rapid prototyping to meet the diverse needs of SMEs in Central Finland. This will enhance the opportunities for micro and small enterprises to increase their experimentation and innovation activities, thereby accelerating regional growth and well-being. In addition to producing prototypes, the model includes an assessment of commercial potential, value network benefits, market situation, competitors, and profitability. The model to be developed combines technical development with business expertise and other essential aspects such as usability, human-technology interaction, user-centricity, accessibility, and ergonomics. Multidisciplinary evaluation of problems or ideas and development utilizing multidisciplinary approaches enable the prototype phase to evolve into a commercially successful product.
