Product Development Path Makers 2025
ENTTERI
Entteri Professional Software Oy launched an AI-powered dental X-ray analysis system and offered it free to roughly half of Finland’s private oral healthcare sector. This helped overcome the conservative market’s hesitation toward new technology and enabling large-scale real-world testing.
SAAB
Saab Finland has introduced a product-driven, rapid-prototyping approach to the traditionally project-driven defense industry.
BETOLAR
Betolar’s Geoprime technology and concrete recipe replaces cement with industrial side streams, reducing concrete emissions by up to 80% and enabling scalable, circular materials.
UUTE SCIENTIFIC
Uute Scientific develops a microbial extract that restores environmental biodiversity to support immune health. Instead of building facilities first, the company secured demand early and iterated quickly based on customer needs.
