Description	The project's target group is the area's technology industry companies and the wood and construction product industry, as well as the SMEs that provide services for them in Pohjois-Savo and Pieksämäki area. The main goal of the project is to promote the growth, renewal and innovation capabilities of SMEs in the project area. The development companies belonging to the implementing group and Savonia UAS have worked closely together to support the development of companies in the regions, and several needs have emerged for increasing the capabilities of SMEs. These goals include e.g. expanding product-oriented operating models into service entities, as well as knowledge-based management methods and analytics as an aid to productivity development. General measures to support growth and renewal are also seen as necessary, especially in micro and small businesses, at the same time, however, when the operating environment is changing strongly. As a result of the project, the internationalization of SMEs progresses, the competitiveness of the business field improves and SMEs are better prepared for the changes caused by the technological and operational environment, especially in relation to digitalization and sustainable development. As a result of the overall development of the companies' business, in the long term, the turnover and export income of the technology industry companies in the region will increase and the companies will be able to employ new employees.
