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 />
