An Intense Finale for the Project Cleantech Kvarken

The cross-border project, Cleantech Kvarken’s last year has begun. The goal of the project is to strengthen the conditions for small and medium sized cleantech companies to do business at regional, national and international markets. There is a lot to do before it is ending in June, says Lasse Pohjala and continues:

EnergyWeek is approaching and we are organizing as we speak a comprehensive programme for different delegations. We are expecting groups from China, Norway and Denmark. In addition to EnergyWeek, the purpose of the delegations is the meet with the regional companies and therefore we are arranging group meetings with the companies of interest. For instance, the group from China are interested in Finnish expertise within electrical vehicles.

The Corporate Reception, which began in autumn 2017, was arranged again in Vaasa in the end of January. The companies participating at this meeting also met with the business developers and advisers in November to start the preparation for the transition to the Swedish market.

In the beginning of March, it is our turn to meet the Swedish companies in Västerbotten and Örnsköldsvik. In November we had meetings with eleven companies, which gave us the mission to investigate various aspects of the Finnish market. We have now evaluated contacts and possible collaboration partners.

On February 15th it is time for Women with Impact goes Finland in Vaasa. The theme of the seminar is the advantages of gender equality in business and for a successful region. Despite the name, men are also welcome.
