CEWIC opening doors to global markets

 

The three year project aiming at founding the CEWIC (Centre of Excellence in the Water Industry Cluster) in Oulu has started in September 2008.

CEWIC gathers the fragmented industry and research of water and waste water treatment into one functional cluster. The main activity of the cluster is to build up projects that are based on the needs of the end users. New multidisciplinary, multitechnological and innovative business approach is encouraged in the projects. jatevesipuhd.jpg

CEWIC is an open, functional innovation and research network in which any organisation can participate.
