... is to invite representatives of content production companies from Europe, Japan and USA to Santa's Technology Park to work for three months. Representatives will be working entirely for their own companies and the rights of the work and content done in Rovaniemi belong entirely to the company in question.
There will be three different groups during the project and in each group there will be two participants from each partner area: Japan, Europe/ USA and the Rovaniemi region. During this time the participants have a possibility to:

• Work in an exceptionally innovative environment: at the Arctic Circle in a brand new technology park which is surrounded by beautiful Lappish nature.
  
  
• Meet and work with other international experts from the same field of industry.
  
  
• Visit local IT companies in the Rovaniemi region and Scandinavia.
  
  
• To visit the University of Lapland and the Rovaniemi Polytechnic to get acquainted with teaching methods, faculties etc. related to Information Technology, Content Production and Industrial Design.
  
  
• To participate in a study trip to some other part of Finland (will be chosen later) which has been successful in creative contents and productions.
  

Since marketing of the Santa's Technology Park is one of the main ideas of the Creative Lapland project, the participants from Europe and Japan are asked to be in constant contact with the media in their home country in order to report and give information about the Creative Lapland -project, Santa's Technology Park and Rovaniemi region in general. This is done by writing articles for the local newspapers and magazines in the country of origin, giving interviews in TV or spreading the word out among people in the field of content production.

At the moment Creative Lapland Project has participants from following countries: Japan, France, Germany, USA and Finland.
