GIGA was steered by its customers
03-2011
GIGA management board was composed of members from the participating companies and institutes
The board members were from large corporations, SMEs, research institutions and other funding organizations (venture capital and Academy of Finland)
The board steered the programme focus and direction, monitored the strategic research, initiated new programmeactivities and defined funding criteria for open calls
Participation in the Board meetings was high with 70% attendance rate

GIGA was seen as a success by the board members“The objectives of GIGA were drafted successfully using the existing
strengths, complemented with new ideas.”– Seppo Borenius
“In my opinion, the progress in LTE and LTE-A technology research would not have been possible without this programme.”– Jouko Sankala
“Finland’s position at the forefront of internet standardisation is, in large part, GIGA’s accomplishment.” – Raimo Vuopionperä
“The new US openings made in the programme aroused a lot of interest. Whether this proves to be the beginning of fruitful cooperation remains to be seen.” – Tapio Halkola
