Vitality cluster project
A regional cluster model focused on companies
In the Vakka-Suomi region, a two-year vitality cluster project began in October 2025. The aim of the project is to develop and pilot a new type of cluster model that places companies at its center. The cluster model will be implemented across three sectors, in which the development needs of each sector will first be identified and then pilots will be carried out within the clusters.
