Technology, engineering and project management company Neste Jacobs has on the

industrial and authority sectors. Also the views and the requirements of the
main stakeholders will be clarified during the study. Additionally the objective
is to define the organization and the business model as well as the
international context of the Centre.

in question is a really interesting task for us and fits very well to our
strategy to be the preferred solution provider in our field of expertise serving
also the public sector."

competition. One of our main criteria used in evaluation was for example the
competence references and Neste Jacobs fulfilled the requirements clearly the
best" says Janne Peltola, Senior Adviser of Ministry of Employment and Economy.

competitiveness point of view. On these grounds, we chose Neste Jacobs as the
