Delivering lasting business and ecosystem impact

The programme achieved major objectives of accelerated Tieto’s shift from a traditional IT services organization to a modern, platform‑driven, software‑centred company. It established common cloud‑native architecture, shared data foundations, governance models, and trustworthy AI capabilities now reused across financial services, healthcare, manufacturing and energy sector.

These outputs form the technical core for future product innovation, enabling improved scalability, shorter time‑to‑market, consistent engineering practices, and regulatory‑ready digital operations. The cross‑company adoption of these enablers has reinforced Tieto’s long‑term competitive advantage.

Strong domain‑level outcomes were achieved across all verticals and work packages. A key achievement of the Veturi program is the strengthening of Finland’s digital innovation ecosystem. More than 200 partners, including universities, research institutes, startups, cities, hospitals and global companies, participated in co‑innovation and co‑research activities. Over 100 partners contributed directly to funded projects, leading to dozens of Business Finland and EU applications, more than 200 scientifi publications, and several long‑term research collaborations.

This ecosystem has created a robust foundation for continuing national and European research, development, innovation (RDI) cooperation beyond the program’s duration and initial program roadmap.

Role of R&D and Veturi in future growth

R&D continues to play a pivotal role in Tieto’s business renewal. The Veturi programme strengthened common technological capabilities—shared data models, cloud‑native components, platform services, and trustworthy AI practices—that now contribute directly to product quality, development speed, interoperability, and lifecycle efficiency across the company’s software domains.

The groundwork laid during Veturi contributes to Tieto’s expectation that material commercial scaling will begin from 2027 onwards, as long‑cycle transformation programs and customer platform transitions enter full deployment. These outcomes align closely with Tieto’s product roadmaps.
