The Sustainable Jakobstad Region’s four key areas:
- Industrial symbiosis at Alholmen Industrial Park
- Regional ambition towards becoming a ”Sustainable Jakobstad Region”
- Focus on circular design
- Hands-on road maps and strategies, to help guide companies and organisations in the green transition. Roadmap: Ostrobothnia in transition.
A lot of the activities that have been done in our region come as a result of what we like to call the ”The Jakobstad Region Coffee Concept”. By bringing people together over a cup of coffee, we create an arena where people can discuss, benchmark, solve problems, innovate and share ideas and challenges in an open and relaxed setting.
