Industry Meeting Point with Future Cleantech Solutions

Industry Meeting Point with Future Cleantech Solutions, gathers companies and industry representatives around the Kvarken region for AI enhanced networking and to be inspired by the future sustainable actions of the industrial establishments.

The project Future Cleantech Solutions' main objective is to strengthen the cross-border collaboration and business opportunities between small and medium sized companies and regional large-scale investments and establishments. Industry Meeting Point is therefor the place to be for those seeking new industrial partners and collaborations. 

During the first part of the event, participants will be taken on a virtual tour from Kokkola via Vaasa in Finland, to Örnsköldsvik, Umeå and Skellefteå in Sweden. 

Directly after the presentations there will be time for 1-to-1 meetings which will be 10 minutes each. We recommend to book meetings in advance to ensure your perfect match. Changes can however be made during the event. While the 1-to-1 meetings take place, inspiring discussions will continue in the studio. The possibilities of Nordic cooperation and coaching in successful virtual business meetings will be discussed. Join the live stream and chat with us, for example while waiting for the next meeting to start.
