The <strong>Finnish</strong> maritime<br />

cluster knows<br />

collaboration<br />

The <strong>Finnish</strong> maritime cluster is significant by international<br />

standards. There is strong high-technology development<br />

like digitalization and environmental expertise in Finland,<br />

and these areas represent two global megatrends.<br />

Among Finland’s defining characteristics are its small<br />

size, agility and mutual trust, which are reflected in strong<br />

collaboration between the public sector and companies.<br />

Various joint projects are also spawning startups.<br />

Collaboration is bearing fruit in the form of innovation.<br />

<strong>Finnish</strong> vessels act as references and testing platforms<br />

for innovations in the marine industry and, once testing<br />

is complete, they can be launched on world markets. The<br />

competitive ship-owning sector underpins the growth of<br />

the maritime cluster as a whole.<br />

The industries are intrinsically linked – ports and port<br />

operators do well when ship owners and the marine industry<br />

are buoyant. In turn, these industries require good<br />

ports and fairways, functional logistics chains and good<br />

mutual collaboration.<br />
