Creating shared understanding to renewable energy systems in Finnish-Indian collaboration

The aim of the CU INDIA project is to help Finnish SMEs in the renewable energy sector in Indian export endeavors. A user-driven approach is developed and tested in the partner networks in order to development regional energy systems.

The project will investigate, develop and test the user-oriented approach in the development of renewable energy systems in the value network. The development of a complex system requires a holistic design approach. User orientation targets the development towards meaningful customer value generation. The approach is multidisciplinary: energy technology, design, international business, as well as foresight.
