In Vaasa, the drive for innovation in energy technology is grounded in a practical and a collaborative approach. This coastal region has steadily built a reputation as a hub for sustainable energy technology solutions, supported by a robust network of companies, research institutions, and dedicated development organisations. Three organisations – Technology Centre Merinova, Vaasa Facilita, and Vaasa Region Development Company VASEK – are driving these efforts and working alongside numerous partners to create a thriving ecosystem for energy innovation in Vaasa.

Vaasa’s growing appeal to international investors is boosted by the Invest in Vaasa initiative, led by the three actors. The initiative promotes the entire Vaasa region, ensuring that growth opportunities and sustainable development benefit all municipalities in the area. The initiative brings together a comprehensive support system, including business consulting, site selection assistance, and a direct link to Vaasa’s extensive energy technology cluster. 

“Invest in Vaasa services offer a seamless entry point for companies looking to tap into the region’s resources, infrastructure, and talent. Our goal is to make every step of the investment process as efficient and rewarding as possible to attract and support companies in the energy technology sector as well as other business areas. No matter who you contact, we assemble the best team around your needs”, says Stefan Råback, CEO of VASEK, the regional business and development company.
