- This is a great opportunity for small and medium-sized companies and start ups to get in touch with a global company like Wärtsilä. We know that there are a number of innovative Swedish companies that could in different ways collaborate and do business with Wärtsilä to drive the development forward. We therefore hope that as many people as possible take the chance and register their interest, says Jenny Åkermark, international business developer Future Cleantech Solutions and responsible for the event.
