2 Did you know that......the Cleantech & Energy cluster is not only solving the world s greatest problems, but also making a win-win business? What is the Cleantech & Energy cluster about? The Cleantech (clean + technology) & Energy cluster consists of institutions and companies offering research, technology, services, solutions, innovations and products that help reduce the environmental load caused by human activity, to save energy and natural resources and to improve the living environment. Members of the Cleantech & Energy cluster in the Tampere Region are solving the economic, ecologic and social challenges of these matters in a commercially viable manner. For companies, it is an economically wise thing to exploit the cleantech benefits, such as using energy and raw materials more efficiently. It is also one of the most rapidly growing business sectors in the world. The Cleantech & Energy cluster in the Tampere Region is a combination of: 2,000 There are approximately 2,000 companies operating in the cleantech sector in Finland WIDE COMPANY BASE Skilled people, capability of renewal, co-operation with universities and innovation platforms 50,000 The Finnish cleantech sector employs about 50,000 people Universities and colleges High quality research and education, labour with know-how DIVERSELY ENABLING AN ENVIRONMENT FOR CLEANTECH AND RENEWABLE ENERGY COMPANIES New innovation and application enablers, other clusters in the Tampere Region 26,4 Billion combined turnover in the cleantech Industry in Finland in 2012 was 26,4 billion Modern innovation platforms 10% Cleantech business is growing at about 10% every year Source: Cleantech Finland 2014 New Factory, Demola, Protomo, Konela, Suuntaamo NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL CO-OPERATION IN CLEANTECH & RENEWABLE ENERGY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT 2 3

6 What about the business environment? The Tampere Region Fastest growing region in Finland Population places of business 2 nd largest airport in the country Up to 15% of Finland s national R&D budget is spent in Tampere In Tampere everything works Year after year, Tampere tops the list of the most attractive cities in Finland as chosen by people and companies. This is because all the pieces fall into place in the region. Here are just a few reasons why: Tampere Cleantech & Technology Region Energy Industry (total) Companies 35+ 2,700 Employees ,000 Turnover 700M 7,751M Optimal logistic location in Finland TThe Tampere Region is located at the crossroads of logistical routes. The Tampere Region is a hub of the most important motorways and railways in Finland, and Tampere-Pirkkala Airport is the second largest international airport in the country. 41% of foreign companies in the Tampere Region say that one of the most important reasons to stay there is its logistical location within Finland. Availability of competent manpower Students generate the impulse for the renewal of cities. One in five of the inhabitants of Tampere is a student in higher education. After they graduate, they stay in the region. 66% of foreign companies in the Tampere Region say that the most important reason to stay in the region is the availability of competent manpower and a low attrition rate. Growth center with a reasonable cost level The Tampere Region is the second largest growth centre in Finland. The population is expected to grow by 90,000 inhabitants by 2030, but the cost level is lower than in many other large economic areas. For example, wage costs in the Tampere Region are 20% lower than in the capital region of Finland. Regional cooperation The overall political will of the region and different city departments offer platforms for testing and piloting new solutions invented by cleantech companies. The central location of Tampere in Southern Finland is excellent. International connections also work well with direct flights. - Timo Sarlin, CEO, Wavin-Labko 10 11
