We bring together businesses, municipalities and development organizations in order to create and sustain an attractive region for both companies and new residents.

Our mission is to find new opportunities and provide a good breeding ground for development and growth. Together with our owners, the regions’ companies, public organizations and other stakeholders, we create the conditions for a successful business life and an attractive region, which stands up to national and international competition.
