ProcessIT Innovations is a collaboration centre in northern Sweden. The strategic concept of ProcessIT Innovations is to bring together the functional process and engineering industry in the region with ICT (information and communication technology) services in universities and industry.

The aim is to reinforce existing primary industries and develop the region’s ICT-industry to an internationally competitive position. This concept meets the challenges faced by today’s knowledge-intensive, high-technology primary industry with the extensive knowledge developed by the region’s ICT services. Process IT’s vision is therefore to establish in the area a leading European R&D centre in ICT for primary industry.

ProcessIT has good potential for growth. The combination of the traditional process industry with the information and communications industry forms an area of regional strength and renewal. There is a good existing R&D infrastructure in Luleå and Umeå. The demand for R&D that exists to raise ProcessIT to a level of international competitiveness is well defined. Regional roots and leadership are top class, and regional authorities are contributing with very good co-financing. However, the task is so wide that focusing needs to be considered.

ProcessIT Innovations was started up on the initiative of trade and industry in the region. Today its activities involve the process and engineering industries, ICT companies and the universities of Umeå and Luleå. In addition the four coastal municipalities and the county administrative boards of Västerbotten and Norrbotten are involved. The strength of ProcessIT Innovations’ strategic concept lies in the interest and power that these
players have in the innovation system.
