Alfa Trans (X) (asker) Dec 9, 2006:
Ongelma tässä on epämääräisyys itse epämääräisen ilmauksen niin, että muutkin yritykset ovat liikkeellä investointeja silmällä pitäen ja haluaisin sen jotenkin mukaan käännökseeni.

to be strongly on the move

This is a good phrase, methinks. I have seen it used in many business projections and reports.
Example sentence:

Rotterdam is also strongly on the move in the audio-visual field; it now numbers dozens of media and entertainment companies.

agree Jari Vesterinen : This is a very good all-purpose, generic phrase that is applicable for business and bake sales and everywhere in between!

disagree JonathanBrown : This is good, but fails to capture the idea of the strength involved, jumping on the bandwagon is a more passive activity. You know, you just jump, and the wagon does the rest. :)
