The City of Vaasa, Umeå municipality, Umeå Hamn AB, Umeå Kommunföretag AB, Wasaline and Kvarken Ports have signed a Memorandum of Understanding on a Green Shipping Corridor between Umeå and Vaasa.

The first European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) project search related to ecosystem agreements was in May, and the second application round opens on 15 September. This time approximately EUR 565,000 in funding is being allocated for projects that promote the three objectives defined in the Vaasa Ecosystem Agreement; Vaasa's carbon neutrality 202X, development of the harbour area and development of the research infrastructure. The application ends on 19 October 2022.

Vaasan seudulla on jo pitkään tehty laajaa yhteistyötä ekosysteemimallin mukaisesti, mutta nyt vuosien 2021–2027 ajalle ulottuvan Ekosysteemisopimuksen mukaisesti yliopistokaupunkien kanssa luotiin erilliset sopimukset.
