A clean energy pioneer
The strengths of Pori Offshore Wind Hub include the world-class port, a functioning offshore wind ecosystem, extensive expertise in the energy sector and an ideal location in the favourable wind conditions of the Bothnian Sea. In addition, Pori has a number of other strengths that make it an ideal location.
Three reasons to choose Pori
1.
Pori has a strong industrial heritage, and we know what it takes to implement demanding and large-scale investments such as offshore wind farms. The city is also strongly committed to promoting clean energy. In addition to renewable energy, the city is also investing billions in hydrogen technology and biofuels.
2.
Educational institutes at the Pori University Centre and Satakunta University of Applied Sciences are developing industrial competence in the region. The education focuses on fields such as technology, the circular economy and sustainable development, and the schools cooperate closely with local companies.
3.
Pori and its residents are unyielding. The operation and maintenance of wind farms in frozen sea conditions is demanding work under extreme conditions, and it is not suitable for everyone. But in Pori, this kind of career path is a natural choice.
