Battery industry

Finland’s success factors are also regional success factors – and the Power Coast battery cluster is one of them. Success brings added value to the whole country. Finland is a both politically and geopolitically stable, well-functioning, secure and sustainable country that is free of corruption. Our most important success factors include equality in education, working life and social security, as well as equality before the law. For Finns, nature is present everywhere. For this reason, taking care of our environment comes naturally for us, and we regard it as especially important. We also have a unique bedrock, which adds to the availability of various raw materials within Finland.

The Power Coast is bustling with people, goods and raw materials. Thanks to the process industry and active business in the area, the Kotka-Hamina region has a well-functioning infrastructure and comprehensive logistics services that have made the area a significant logistics hub. Finland’s largest general port, Port of HaminaKotka, is located at the heart of logistic activities in the area, offering unique, regular and versatile transport connections for all types of cargo all over the world. There is also a direct railway connection to Russia and China, and high-quality traffic infrastructure to facilitate lorry transports to Europe. From an international perspective, Helsinki Airport can be reached relatively quickly in just over an hour, and the Helsinki metropolitan area and its services are within a commuting distance.

The strength of the Power Coast stems from a can-do attitude. The people of the Kotka-Hamina region know what they are doing and are quick to roll up their sleeves. Now, we are harnessing our expertise, willpower and opportunities to power the battery and energy industry. We have a strong culture of teamwork, which means getting things done and always helping each other out. The people in the region are trustworthy by nature: here, promises are always kept. We turn challenges into solutions. Extensive collaboration within different operators in Southeastern Finland and networks in both Finland and abroad are key factors for success. This region is home to skilled, service-minded people who welcome everyone – with the appropriate amount of pride.
