Commercial Partners

The MANMADE Consortium is strongly supported by the commercial partnerships. There are two scientific teams:

National Emergency Supply Agency (NESA, Finland) under the aegis of the Finnish Ministry of Trade and Industry.will participate as a key stakeholder through the interests and services of Hannu Sivonen, a Senior Researcher at the agency. His  direct interest in our proposal will ensure that any systems developments or further understanding of the dynamics of supply chains (including energy, trading and transport systems) could be implemented in the emergency planning strategies of member states.  NESA devotes considerable resources for emergency planning, which affects a large and varied number of utilities and services at both national level, and its interaction with neighbouring EU and non-EU states. Their direct insight into the aspects of supply chain will motivate the development of complex systems analysis techniques that are anchored to real-world systems with a direct impact on the lives of EU citizens, both in terms of practical applications and national standards. The direct involvement of NESA in the project opens up the possibility of using our findings in the emergency supply chain policy of an EU member state.
