Maritime transport and related expertise are the cornerstone of the Finnish economy. Finland has the opportunity to become the world’s leading maritime cluster, as the global maritime cluster market grows significantly in the coming decades.
The maritime cluster employs approximately 50,000 people across the country and its turnover is over 17 billion euros. For the Finnish maritime cluster, responsibility is a way of working and a competitive advantage. Finnish shipping companies have been at the forefront for years, acting as references and testbeds for innovations in the maritime industry.
From shipbuilding to renewable energy, shipping and blue growth: the maritime cluster is a network of cooperation between many different sectors.
