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. |  |

The parties involved in the project are research and training organisations, developers of technology, businesses in the field, public institutions (cities and municipalities), financiers, and regional authorities. CEWIC is an open, functional innovation and research network in which any organisation can participate. |

The CEWIC project personnel offers services to private companies and public institutions in water sector in order to assist them in their research and business development projects. There is also funding for project preparation available for participating companies. |
 |
| The CEWIC project has an over-all budget of 3.6 million Euros. It is partly-financed by the European Regional Development Fund through the Council of Oulu Region. The second biggest financier is the City of Oulu. |
