More information about the theme of the program

The clean transition, i.e. the shift towards phasing out fossil fuels and replacing them with environmentally friendly alternatives, creates new opportunities for industry and the creation of capacity investments. The hydrogen and battery industries have huge growth potential as they play a significant role in achieving a low-carbon economy.  

Investment projects in Finland generate significant business that creates well-being, new jobs and tax revenue. According to a report by the Boston Consulting Group (Finland's Moonshots for Green Growth), the potential of green exports for Finland is EUR 85–100 billion by 2035. The hydrogen and battery industry plays a significant role in this whole as well. 

Why was the theme chosen? 

By investing in the development of the hydrogen and battery industry, we help companies and research organisations to take advantage of the opportunities offered by the clean transition and to develop solutions to its challenges. In this way, we can be involved in creating well-being and improving employment in Finland. At the same time, we help Finnish industry and increase domestic competitiveness globally. 

With the help of the Hydrogen & Batteries program, we help Finnish companies towards sustainable and carbon-neutral growth.
