Spinverse’s role
Spinverse funding experts worked together with Ponsse and Epec in the second phase of project proposal process for Business Finland funding, helping the project team in crystallising the FORWARD’27 mission and objectives.
Upon a positive funding decision from Business Finland, Spinverse supports FORWARD’27 in setting up the project by providing services in project management, ecosystem leadership and communications.
Spinverse has provided us with valuable support for planning and setting up different practicalities in this project. In addition, it was great to have someone outside the organisation to offer different viewpoints and ideas.
