ScanwAI develops AI-powered solutions for infrastructure maintenance monitoring. Its mobile platform makes the upkeep of roads, airport runways, and infrastructure assets more cost-effective and safer, while cutting the environmental impact of maintenance work.
Founded in Parkano in 2023, ScanwAI has scaled quickly. The company now has subsidiaries in the UAE and Italy, and counts customers as far away as New Zealand.
An ongoing partnership builds trust
ScanwAI and Grants Funding connected through a shared network, and the collaboration has worked well from day one. CEO Juha Rytkönen sees the continuity of the partnership as a key advantage: Grants knows the company. In a fast-growing, internationally expanding business, getting a new partner up to speed takes time and effort. With a partner who already knows the context, things move efficiently.
Rytkönen values the expertise of Grants’ expert Teija Metso. Funding applications and write-ups on complex topics come together with remarkably few meetings – saving ScanwAI’s time and resources. So far, the collaboration has resulted in a successful Tempo funding application and a Finnpartnership Business Partnership Support grant.
“Teija is an exceptionally skilled funding expert. She quickly understands complex topics and delivers high-quality applications with little back-and-forth. Doing this work ourselves would take an enormous amount of time and resources.”

Grants as a strategic growth partner
Rytkönen recommends Grants Funding especially to technology growth companies – those that have a product, a growth plan, and the drive to make use of public funding, but not the capacity to prepare applications.
