Mika Lintilä
Minister of Economic Affairs
In Vaasa, people of all ages are taught to think about our environment and youngsters already adopt an eco-friendly lifestyle from kindergarten age. Local universities, energy technology companies and other organisations intensively work together to create a more sustainable tomorrow. Our solutions for electricity distribution, living and transportation have been able to significantly reduce CO2 emissions and save energy. However, development work in Vaasa does not end after a few success stories; many more innovative ideas are still to come.
