&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Vuonna 1981 &lt;strong&gt;Kalevi Niemi&lt;/strong&gt; p&amp;auml;&amp;auml;tti perustaa kotimuuttoja tarjoavan yrityksen, joka ty&amp;ouml;llist&amp;auml;isi sek&amp;auml; h&amp;auml;net ett&amp;auml; perheen muut j&amp;auml;senet. Niemi osti pakettiauton ja 100 muuttolaatikkoa, ja niin alkoi yrityksen py&amp;ouml;ritt&amp;auml;minen. Laadukkaiden palveluiden my&amp;ouml;t&amp;auml; kysynt&amp;auml; lis&amp;auml;&amp;auml;ntyi, ja yhti&amp;ouml;n liikevaihto alkoi kasvaa vuosi vuodelta.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Niemen nelj&amp;auml; poikaa ovat toimineet yrityksess&amp;auml; sen perustamisesta l&amp;auml;htien. Alkuaikoina Niemi antoi pojilleen t&amp;auml;rke&amp;auml;n ohjeen: pit&amp;auml;k&amp;auml;&amp;auml; asiakkaista aina hyv&amp;auml;&amp;auml; huolta. Siit&amp;auml; asti Niemi Palveluiden suurimpana arvona on ollut asiakastyytyv&amp;auml;isyys.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ndash; Missionamme on ylitt&amp;auml;&amp;auml; asiakkaidemme odotukset joka p&amp;auml;iv&amp;auml; hoitamalla ty&amp;ouml;mme laadukkaasti ja tehokkaasti. Kun pystymme yll&amp;auml;pit&amp;auml;m&amp;auml;&amp;auml;n luotettavaa palvelua, auttaa se koko liiketoimintaamme kasvamaan, toimitusjohtaja &lt;strong&gt;Juha Koskinen&lt;/strong&gt; kertoo.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Niemi Palveluissa pidet&amp;auml;&amp;auml;n hyvin t&amp;auml;rke&amp;auml;n&amp;auml; sit&amp;auml;, ett&amp;auml; asiakastyytyv&amp;auml;isyytt&amp;auml; mitataan tasaisin v&amp;auml;liajoin. Vuoden 2020 asiakastyytyv&amp;auml;isyystutkimuksesta saadut tulokset olivat huippuluokkaa. Yli 5000 vastaajasta 98,5 % suosittelisi Nieme&amp;auml; my&amp;ouml;s muille. Yritys pyrkii vastaamaan jokaiseen saamaansa palautteeseen ja kehitt&amp;auml;&amp;auml; toimintaansa niiden perusteella.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ty&amp;ouml;ntekij&amp;auml;t arvokkaana voimavarana&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Perheyrityksen t&amp;auml;rkeimpiin arvoihin lukeutuu my&amp;ouml;s henkil&amp;ouml;kunnan tyytyv&amp;auml;isyys. Yli tuhat henkil&amp;ouml;&amp;auml; ty&amp;ouml;llist&amp;auml;v&amp;auml; Niemi Palvelut uskoo ty&amp;ouml;ntekij&amp;ouml;iden tyytyv&amp;auml;isyyden n&amp;auml;kyv&amp;auml;n my&amp;ouml;s asiakkaille ja tukevan asiakaspalvelun onnistumista.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ndash; Meill&amp;auml; on t&amp;ouml;iss&amp;auml; pelk&amp;auml;st&amp;auml;&amp;auml;n Niemil&amp;auml;isi&amp;auml;. Koulutamme jokaisen ty&amp;ouml;ntekij&amp;auml;mme omassa Niemi Akatemiassamme. Meille on t&amp;auml;rke&amp;auml;&amp;auml; my&amp;ouml;s se, ett&amp;auml; kohtelemme henkil&amp;ouml;kuntaamme oikeudenmukaisesti ja tasa-arvoisesti.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Hierarkia ei yrityksess&amp;auml; ole juurikaan n&amp;auml;kyvill&amp;auml;. Vaikka vastuualueet ovat selke&amp;auml;t, auttavat ty&amp;ouml;ntekij&amp;auml;t toisiaan eri teht&amp;auml;viss&amp;auml;. Jokainen uusi Niemil&amp;auml;inen k&amp;auml;y l&amp;auml;pi Muuttajan peruskurssin, johon kuuluu kentt&amp;auml;jakso. T&amp;auml;m&amp;auml;n lis&amp;auml;ksi toimihenkil&amp;ouml;t ja johto k&amp;auml;yv&amp;auml;t muutaman p&amp;auml;iv&amp;auml;n vuodessa muuttot&amp;ouml;iss&amp;auml;. N&amp;auml;in toimistolta l&amp;ouml;ytyy aina kiireisille muuttop&amp;auml;iville ty&amp;ouml;ntekij&amp;ouml;it&amp;auml;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ndash; Jokaisella vakituisella ty&amp;ouml;ntekij&amp;auml;ll&amp;auml; on my&amp;ouml;s mahdollisuus ostaa Niemen osakkeita. T&amp;auml;m&amp;auml; on koettu Niemil&amp;auml;isten keskuudessa hyvin motivoivaksi.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pienhiukkasp&amp;auml;&amp;auml;st&amp;ouml;t nollaan vuoteen 2030 menness&amp;auml;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Ymp&amp;auml;rist&amp;ouml;yst&amp;auml;v&amp;auml;llisyys on ollut yritykselle t&amp;auml;rke&amp;auml;&amp;auml; alusta asti. Tavoitteena on laskea pienhiukkasp&amp;auml;&amp;auml;st&amp;ouml;t nollaan vuoteen 2030 menness&amp;auml;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ndash; Koko kuljetuskalustomme k&amp;auml;ytt&amp;auml;&amp;auml; vain fossiilittomia polttoaineita. T&amp;auml;ll&amp;auml; hetkell&amp;auml; ajoneuvokalustostamme noin nelj&amp;auml;sosa toimii biokaasulla, joka on uusiutuva ja 100-prosenttisesti kotimainen polttoaine. Sen pienhiukkasp&amp;auml;&amp;auml;st&amp;ouml;t ovat nolla prosenttia. Muutama autoistamme kulkee t&amp;auml;yss&amp;auml;hk&amp;ouml;ll&amp;auml; ja loput kalustostamme k&amp;auml;ytt&amp;auml;&amp;auml; Neste MY uusiutuvaa dieseli&amp;auml;. Neste MY:ll&amp;auml; kasvihuonekaasup&amp;auml;&amp;auml;st&amp;ouml;t v&amp;auml;henev&amp;auml;t jopa 90 prosenttia tavalliseen dieseliin verrattuna. Haluamme, ett&amp;auml; my&amp;ouml;s tulevilla sukupolvilla on mahdollisuus el&amp;auml;&amp;auml; puhtaassa maailmassa.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Niemi tarjoaa koti-, yritys- ja ulkomaanmuuttojen lis&amp;auml;ksi tapahtuma- ja logistiikkapalveluita. Yritysmuuttopalveluihin kuuluu mm. toimistokalusteiden asentaminen ja kokoaminen sek&amp;auml; ty&amp;ouml;pisteiden kaapeloinnit.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Logistiikkapalveluna Niemi voi hoitaa esimerkiksi hotellin kiintokalusteiden, kuten s&amp;auml;nkyjen ja peilien asennuksen. Niemi on tehnyt jo vuosien ajan tapahtumalogistiikkaa mm. Messukeskuksessa. &amp;nbsp;Lis&amp;auml;ksi Niemi on vastannut j&amp;auml;&amp;auml;kiekon MM-kisojen logistiikasta, kun kisat on j&amp;auml;rjestetty Suomessa. Yritys on mukana my&amp;ouml;s ensi kev&amp;auml;&amp;auml;n&amp;auml; Suomessa pelattavissa kisoissa.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ndash; Kaikkien palveluidemme yhdist&amp;auml;v&amp;auml;n&amp;auml; tekij&amp;auml;n&amp;auml; on se, ett&amp;auml; menemme tekemisess&amp;auml;mme askeleen pidemm&amp;auml;lle.

Muuttoalan luotettavin toimija ylittää asiakkaan odotukset joka päivä

&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Logistiikassa koko ketjun toimivuus alusta loppuun on t&amp;auml;rke&amp;auml;&amp;auml;, mutta erityisen t&amp;auml;rke&amp;auml;ksi muodostuvat viimeiset metrit. Niiden aikana verkkokaupan paketti yksityisasiakkaalle, &amp;nbsp;elintarvike elintarvikekauppiaalle tai hiekkalasti rakennusty&amp;ouml;maalle siirtyy tilaajalle ja syntyy t&amp;auml;rke&amp;auml; asiakaskontakti. T&amp;auml;t&amp;auml; kontaktia OAK Oy haluaa vaalia ja kehitt&amp;auml;&amp;auml;. Yritys on yksi Suomen suurimmista kuljetus- ja terminaalipalveluja tarjoavista yrityksist&amp;auml;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;OAK:n toimialueena on koko Suomi, vaikka sen kotipaikka on Oulussa ja yrityksen virallinen nimikin on Oulun Autokuljetus Oy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ndash; Mottonamme on, ett&amp;auml; kuljetamme melkein mit&amp;auml; tahansa melkein minne tahansa. Hoidamme kaikenlaiset kuljetukset, mutta erityisesti olemme panostaneet monipuolisiin elintarvikkeiden sek&amp;auml; verkkokaupan kuljetuksiin, kertoo toimitusjohtaja &lt;strong&gt;Matti Matinheikki&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;P&amp;auml;ivitt&amp;auml;isess&amp;auml; kotimaan runkoliikenteess&amp;auml; operoi 60 l&amp;auml;mp&amp;ouml;s&amp;auml;&amp;auml;delty&amp;auml; t&amp;auml;ysper&amp;auml;vaunuyhdistelm&amp;auml;&amp;auml;, mm. koko sivun aukeavia HCT-autoja sek&amp;auml; kaksitasokuljetuksiin r&amp;auml;&amp;auml;t&amp;auml;l&amp;ouml;ityj&amp;auml; hissiyhdistelmi&amp;auml;. &amp;nbsp;Helsingist&amp;auml; l&amp;auml;htenyt lasti saadaan jakeluun Oulussa yhdeks&amp;auml;n tunnin kuluttua. Autojen l&amp;auml;ht&amp;ouml;- ja saapumisajat r&amp;auml;&amp;auml;t&amp;auml;l&amp;ouml;id&amp;auml;&amp;auml;n asiakkaan tarpeiden mukaisesti.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Haluamme laajentaa terminaalipalvelujamme.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;OAK:n erityisosaamista ovat monipuoliset varastointi-, ker&amp;auml;ily-, lajittelu- ja yhdist&amp;auml;mispalvelut. Kolme vuotta sitten valmistui uusi l&amp;auml;mp&amp;ouml;tilahallittu l&amp;auml;pivirtausterminaali. Siin&amp;auml; on viile&amp;auml;&amp;auml;, l&amp;auml;mmint&amp;auml; ja pakastetilaa sek&amp;auml; kala- ja kalajalosteiden varastotilaa yhteens&amp;auml; yli 5000 neli&amp;ouml;metri&amp;auml;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ndash; Meill&amp;auml; on vahva osuus pohjoiseen suuntautuvista sek&amp;auml; kaupan, ett&amp;auml; hotelli- ja ravintola-alan elintarvikekuljetuksista, sanoo Matinheikki.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4 class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Verkkotilaukset kotiovelle&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Verkkotilausten m&amp;auml;&amp;auml;r&amp;auml; suorastaan r&amp;auml;j&amp;auml;hti koronan my&amp;ouml;t&amp;auml;. Matinheikki uskoo, ett&amp;auml; kun ihmiset ovat nyt oppineet nettitilausten helppouden, ei siit&amp;auml; hevin luovuta.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ndash; Verkkokauppatilausten jakelu on hyvin erilaista verrattuna kaupan elintarvikejakeluun. Kun yksitt&amp;auml;inen paketti vied&amp;auml;&amp;auml;n asiakkaan kotiovelle, on palvelun nopeudella, joustavuudella ja laadulla iso merkitys. Toimimme t&amp;auml;&amp;auml;ll&amp;auml; pohjoisessa &amp;nbsp;PostNordin alueoperaattorina jakaessamme verkkokauppatuotteita asiakkaillemme. Vuosittain jakelijoillamme on 300 000 asiakaskontaktia.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ndash; Haluamme panostaa niihin lis&amp;auml;&amp;auml; ja olemmekin suunnittelemassa terminaalitilojemme laajentamista kaksinkertaiseksi. Investointip&amp;auml;&amp;auml;t&amp;ouml;s tehd&amp;auml;&amp;auml;n toukokuussa, selvitt&amp;auml;&amp;auml; Matinheikki.&lt;/p&gt;

Ratkaisevat viimeiset  metrit

&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ndash; Tavoitteemme on jo vuonna 2024 tuoda markkinoille ensimm&amp;auml;inen uusiutuvaan energiaan perustuva kuljetuskonsepti sitten suurten purjelaivojen aikakauden, kertoo Meriaura Groupin konserninjohtaja &lt;strong&gt;Jussi M&amp;auml;lki&amp;auml;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Innovatiivisten energiaratkaisujen lis&amp;auml;ksi tarkoitus on automatisoida lastink&amp;auml;sittelyprosessi sek&amp;auml; muita toimintoja. Konseptia suunnitellaan erityisesti j&amp;auml;rvi-, kanava- ja merifeeder-liikenteeseen, ja sit&amp;auml; on tarkoitus pilotoida Saimaalla. Saimaan kanavan sulkuja pidennet&amp;auml;&amp;auml;n ja aluksen koko vastaakin uusia Saimax-mittoja. Kaupallista toimintamallia ty&amp;ouml;stet&amp;auml;&amp;auml;n parhaillaan ja asiakkaita kartoitetaan.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Vastuullisuus ja eettisyys ovat meille eritt&amp;auml;in t&amp;auml;rkeit&amp;auml; motiiveja&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Uudisrakennushankkeessa yhdistell&amp;auml;&amp;auml;n opittuja asioita yhti&amp;ouml;n aikaisemmista projekteista. Meriaura on s&amp;auml;&amp;auml;nn&amp;ouml;llisell&amp;auml; k&amp;auml;yt&amp;ouml;ll&amp;auml; ja pitk&amp;auml;aikaistesteill&amp;auml; todentanut kierr&amp;auml;tysraaka-aineesta valmistetun 100% biopolttoaineen k&amp;auml;ytett&amp;auml;vyyden laivaliikenteess&amp;auml;.

&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ndash; Hienoja hiilineutraaleita teknologioita valmistellaan, mutta t&amp;auml;m&amp;auml; on ainoa, joka on t&amp;auml;ll&amp;auml; hetkell&amp;auml; kaupallisesti hy&amp;ouml;dynnett&amp;auml;viss&amp;auml;.

100 % hiilineutraali merikuljetus mahdollista jo vuonna 2024

&lt;p class=&quot;mb-10&quot;&gt;&amp;rdquo;Kuljetusvaltaisena toimijana tunnemme vastuumme ymp&amp;auml;rist&amp;ouml;st&amp;auml;mme, ja jo siksikin p&amp;auml;&amp;auml;dyimme tarkistamaan omaa aikatauluamme pienhiukkasp&amp;auml;&amp;auml;st&amp;ouml;jen nollatavoitteen osalta,&amp;rdquo; Niemi Palvelut Oy:n toimitusjohtaja Juha Koskinen sanoo.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-10&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;rdquo;My&amp;ouml;s EU:n ja Suomen uudet hiilineutraaliustavoitteet ja kotimaan liikenteen p&amp;auml;&amp;auml;st&amp;ouml;jen puolittamistavoitteet 2030 menness&amp;auml; toimivat innoittajinamme.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-10&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Ymp&amp;auml;rist&amp;ouml;vastuu on muiden vastuullisuuskysymysten ohella sis&amp;auml;&amp;auml;nrakennettu osa yrityksen liiketoimintaa. Koskisen mukaan Niemell&amp;auml; on ymm&amp;auml;rretty vastuullisuustekojen merkitys my&amp;ouml;s yhten&amp;auml; kilpailutekij&amp;auml;n&amp;auml;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-10&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;rdquo;Huomiomme p&amp;auml;&amp;auml;t&amp;ouml;ksenteossa p&amp;auml;&amp;auml;st&amp;ouml;jen v&amp;auml;hennystavoitteet ja haemme kest&amp;auml;vi&amp;auml; ratkaisuja ymp&amp;auml;rist&amp;ouml;n&amp;auml;k&amp;ouml;kulmasta.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-10&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Jo t&amp;auml;ll&amp;auml; hetkell&amp;auml; Niemi Palvelut Oy:n kaikki 150 ajoneuvoyksikk&amp;ouml;&amp;auml; kulkevat t&amp;auml;ysin fossiilittomalla k&amp;auml;ytt&amp;ouml;voimalla: biokaasulla, s&amp;auml;hk&amp;ouml;ll&amp;auml; ja uusiutuvalla dieselill&amp;auml;. Koskisen mukaan fossiilittoman kaluston merkitys korostuu erityisesti nyt talvikeleill&amp;auml;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-10&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;rdquo;Ty&amp;ouml;mme luonteen vuoksi ajoneuvomme liikkuvat paljon kaupunkikeskustoissa ja pys&amp;auml;htyv&amp;auml;t usein purkamaan ja lastaamaan.

&lt;p class=&quot;mb-10&quot;&gt;Tavoitteen aikaistaminen kymmenell&amp;auml; vuodella tarkoittaa Niemi Oy:lle nopeampaa kalustonkiertoa, sill&amp;auml; jo vuonna 2024 yli puolet yhti&amp;ouml;n punaisista autoista on biokaasu- tai s&amp;auml;hk&amp;ouml;ajoneuvoja.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-10&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;rdquo;Edess&amp;auml;mme on mittava investointi, sill&amp;auml; aiomme vaihtaa asteittain koko autokannan kaasu- ja s&amp;auml;hk&amp;ouml;k&amp;auml;ytt&amp;ouml;iseksi&amp;rdquo;, Koskinen kertoo.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-10&quot;&gt;&amp;rdquo;T&amp;auml;ll&amp;auml; suunnitelmalla vuoteen 2030 menness&amp;auml; autoistamme 60 % on biokaasuk&amp;auml;ytt&amp;ouml;isi&amp;auml; ja loput 40 % s&amp;auml;hk&amp;ouml;autoja.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&amp;ndash; Rakentaminen on kokemuksemme mukaan hyvin pitk&amp;auml;lle jatkuvan muutoksen hallintaa. Kattava logistisen ketjun hallinta, tiedonkulku kaikille ketjun osapuolille ja l&amp;auml;pin&amp;auml;kyvyys ovat erityisen t&amp;auml;rkeit&amp;auml; nykyisiss&amp;auml; tiukasti aikataulutetuissa hankkeissa.

Hallittu logistiikkaketju tuo tehokkuutta työmaalle ja teollisuuteen


&lt;p&gt;– Kehitämme toimintaamme jatkuvasti asiakkaittemme tarpeiden mukaan. Sijaitsemme pohjoissuomalaisten yritysten kannalta liikenteellisesti loistavassa paikassa. Olemme kasvaneet yhdessä Rautaruukin, nykyisen SSAB:n Raahen terästehtaan kanssa ja olemme Perämeren toiseksi suurin satama. Terätehtaan tarvitsemien satamapalvelujen systemaattinen kehittäminen on aina ollut meille tärkeää ja näistä samoista tehokkaista palveluista hyötyvät myös muut alueen yritykset, sanoo toimitusjohtaja &lt;strong&gt;Pauli Sarpola&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; Hän näkeekin toimintakykyisen ja asiakkaitten tarpeet huomioon ottavan sataman äärimmäisen tärkeäksi koko Pohjois-Suomen teollisuudelle.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;–&amp;nbsp; Satama ja siellä toimivat operaattorit työllistävät paikallisia, mutta samalla sataman toiminnot mahdollistavat viennistä ja tuonnista riippuvaisten&amp;nbsp; yritysten elinmahdollisuudet. Tätä kautta tehokkaiden satamien merkitys on Suomelle äärimmäisen tärkeää, muistuttaa Sarpola.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Vilkas, ympärivuotinen satama&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Raahen Satamassa käy vuosittain 600 alusta. Ne kuljettavat kaikkea, mitä teollisuus ja yritykset tarvitsevat mm. malmeja, kivihiiltä, terästä, sahatavaraa, kontteja sekä projektituotteita. Jotta tulevaisuudessa nykyistä suuremmatkin alukset pääsevät&amp;nbsp; satamaan, suunnitellaan väylän syväyksen nostamista parilla metrillä 12 metriin saakka. Näin toiminta tehostuu entisestään.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;– Olemme viime vuosina profiloituneet myös projektituotesatamaksi. Niiden osuus on kasvanut ja kauttamme kulkee nyt erityisesti tuulivoimaloiden osia. Tänä vuonna satamaamme tuli 42 tuulivoimalan osat, joiden jatkokuljetus tuulipuistoihin vastasi lähes 550 rekkakuormaa, selvittää Sarpola.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Tuulivoimalarakentamisen voimakas lisääntyminen on merkinnyt Raahen Satamalle lisää töitä ja näin on myös tulevaisuudessa.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;– Olemme rakentaneet 15 hehtaaria uusia varastoalueita ja nyt meillä on loistavat tilat hallita isoja tavaravirtoja molempiin suuntiin. Myös kaksi uutta laituria on suunnitteilla. Olemme varautuneet myös Hanhikiven ydinvoimalan vaativiin tavarakuljetuksiin. Ydinvoimalahan rakennetaan puolen tunnin ajomatkan päähän satamastamme, kertoo Sarpola.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Raahen Satama Oy tarjoaa yrityksille kontitus- ja varastointipalveluita sekä edullista kaukolämpöä.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Sataman alueella toimii Puulaakso, jossa on nimensä mukaisesti puualan teollisuutta ja se hyödyntää terästehtaalta saatavaa lämpöä mm. puutavaran kuivauksessa.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Sataman ja terästehtaan välittömään läheisyyteen on kaavoitettu valmiiksi lisää kasvutilaa yrityksille.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

Raahen Satama &#8211; pohjoisen teollisuuden sykkivä sydän


&lt;p&gt;Blue Cargon toimitusjohtaja &lt;strong&gt;Jari Kuohukivi&lt;/strong&gt; kertoo yhtiön pyrkivän osoittamaan henkilöstölleen, että heistä välitetään paitsi työntekijöinä, myös ihmisinä.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;–Kyse ei ole aina rahasta tai rakettitieteestä vaan paljon pehmeämmistä arvoista. Kilpailuetu rakentuu perusasioista. Osaava henkilöstö on ajantasaisen ajoneuvokaluston lisäksi käyntikorttimme ulospäin, Kuohukivi pohtii.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Hän kertoo yrityksen haluavan luoda olosuhteita, joissa ihmisten kyvyt pääsevät esille ja joissa syntyy innostusta tekemiseen. Sellaisessa paikassa on hyvä olla töissä ja sellaiseen saadaan parhaat tekijät. Turvallisen työpaikan ja työskentelyolosuhteiden luominen on yksi tapa osoittaa välittämistä.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Blue Cargon kaikilta kuljettajilta edellytetään ajantasaista työturvallisuuskorttia. Lisäksi yhtiö on jo muutaman vuoden kampanjoinut muun muassa sosiaalisessa mediassa liikenneturvallisuuden puolesta.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;–Yhdessä turvallisesti kampanjan perimmäisenä tavoitteena on parantaa koko raskaan liikenteen mainetta. Kiinnittämällä huomiota yleiseen liikenneturvallisuuteen myös autamme kuljettajiamme toimimaan ammattimaisesti, Kuohukivi sanoo. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://d25qe8jyswzzt9.cloudfront.net/2020/09/IMG_2968-768x1024.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Blue Cargo henkilökuva&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-6154&quot; srcset=&quot;https://d25qe8jyswzzt9.cloudfront.net/2020/09/IMG_2968-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://d25qe8jyswzzt9.cloudfront.net/2020/09/IMG_2968-225x300.jpg 225w, https://d25qe8jyswzzt9.cloudfront.net/2020/09/IMG_2968-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https://d25qe8jyswzzt9.cloudfront.net/2020/09/IMG_2968-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https://d25qe8jyswzzt9.cloudfront.net/2020/09/IMG_2968-315x420.jpg 315w, https://d25qe8jyswzzt9.cloudfront.net/2020/09/IMG_2968-640x853.jpg 640w, https://d25qe8jyswzzt9.cloudfront.net/2020/09/IMG_2968-681x908.jpg 681w, https://d25qe8jyswzzt9.cloudfront.net/2020/09/IMG_2968-scaled.jpg 1920w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Yhdistelmäajoneuvon kuljettaja Juuso Soininen kiittelee talon hyvää yhteishenkeä. Kokeneemmat kuljettajat tukevat uusia kuljettajia ja perehdyttävät heidät tehtäviin.&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kokemus tuo varmuutta&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Yhdistelmäajoneuvon kuljettaja &lt;strong&gt;Juuso Soininen&lt;/strong&gt; on ollut Blue Cargon palveluksessa viime keväästä. Hän kiittelee talon hyvää yhteishenkeä. Työkavereille voi aina soittaa ja pyytää neuvoja, jos tien päällä tulee haastavia tilanteita.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;–Uudet kuljettajat perehdytetään hyvin tehtäviin. Töihin pääsi tutustumaan kaikessa rauhassa. Itselläni oli viikon ajan toinen kuljettaja koko ajan mukana ja sen jälkeen kaikki vähänkin haastavammat kuljetukset ajettiin yhdessä. Kokeneempien vankka tuki helpotti omaa oloa, Soininen muistelee.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Tähän mennessä Soinisen leveimmät kuljetukset ovat olleet 2,5–4,5 metrin levyisiä työmaaparakkeja ja parakkikouluja. Korkein lasti kohosi lähes kuuteen metriin.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;–Vaativissa kuljetuksissa työturvallisuus on erityisen tärkeää. Työnantaja ohjeistaa meitä tarkoin, miten menetellä. Itselläni on voimassa oleva työturvallisuuskortti, mutta syksyn aikana suoritan uudestaan muita ammattipätevyyteen liittyviä kortteja.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Blue Cargon asiakkaille kuljettajien ammattitaitoon satsaaminen ilmenee toimitusvarmuutena.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;–Kuljetukset ovat sovitusti paikalla – eivät ehkä tunteja aikaisemmin, mutta eivät missään nimessä myöskään myöhässä. Taloudellinen ajotapa näkyy polttoaineen kulutuksessa ja sitä kautta kuljetuskustannuksissa. Mieluummin turvallisesti perille kuin kiireellä, Soininen naurahtaa.&lt;/p&gt;

Sen pikkuisen verran enemmän


&lt;p&gt;Rocla-trukeista tunnetussa Logisnext Finland Oy:ssä (entinen Rocla Solutions Oy) toimeen tartuttiin saman tien.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;– Meidän oli reagoitava nopeasti, kertoo toimitusjohtaja &lt;strong&gt;Jukka Viinikainen&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;– Määrittelimme kolme eri skenaariota, joihin meidän olisi varauduttava.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Skenaariosuunnittelu&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Logisnext Finland toimii usealla huoltovarmuuden kannalta kriittisellä toimialalla, kuten elintarvike- lääkelogistiikka sekä posti- ja pakettilogistiikka. Näiden toimitusketjut oli voitava varmistaa myös poikkeusoloissa.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Trukkien ja varaosien saatavuus oli turvattava. Mietittiin tarkasti, mitä varaosia on hankittava varastoon enemmän, jotta yritys pystyisi palvelemaan asiakkaitaan ääriolosuhteissakin hyvin.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Kolmantena huolenaiheena oli henkilöstö, jonka laajamittainen sairastuminen hankaloittaisi palvelulupauksesta kiinni pitämistä. Näitä tiedotettiin säännöllisesti koronatilanteesta ja siihen varautumisesta. Ulkopuolisten vierailut toimistolle vähennettiin minimiin.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Asiakkaiden muuttuneet toiveet otettiin huomioon trukkihuollossa. Ne suoritettiin mahdollisuuksien mukaan ulkona tai työajan ulkopuolella. Huoltohenkilöstö käytti kasvomaskeja ja desinfioi koneet ennen ja jälkeen huoltotoimien.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Palvelukehitys&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;– Skenaariosuunnittelu auttoi minimoimaan taudin leviämisen ja sen vaikutukset toimintaamme, Jukka Viinikainen toteaa. – Seuraavaksi mietimme, kuinka voimme terävöittää palveluamme asiakkaittemme hyväksi.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Viinikainen viittaa Rocla Intelligence -palveluun, joka tuottaa reaaliaikaista tietoa trukkien käytöstä, tarjoten näin entistä parempia työkaluja kalustonhallintaan ja raportointiin. Logisnext Finland oli kehittänyt palvelua jo puolisentoista vuotta, ja poikkeustilanne kiihdytti työtä.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;– Halusimme saada palvelun kriittisimmille asiakkaillemme jo kevään aikana, Jukka Viinikainen kertoo. – Tässä myös onnistuttiin.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. Henkilöstön sitoutuminen&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Henkilöstön sitoutuminen varmistettiin avoimella tiedottamisella.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;– Ihmisten on tiedettävä, mitä asioita yritys tavoittelee ja mitä niiden saavuttaminen itse kultakin edellyttää, Jukka Viinikainen muistuttaa.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Logisnext Finlandin henkilöstö sijaitsee ympäri Suomea. Tänä keväänä koko henkilökunnan yhteistapahtumat järjestettiin verkkokokouksina ja toimitusjohtajan kuukausikatsaukset videoviesteillä.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;– Henkilöstömme on sitoutunut ja motivoitunut, mistä olen kovasti ylpeä, Jukka Viinikainen kehuu. – Meillä on ainutlaatuinen tekemisen meininki, joka näkyy myös haluna palvella asiakkaitamme.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;– Emme ole joutuneet lomauttamaan ketään; toisaalta sairauspoissaolot ovat olleet ennätyksellisen alhaalla. Olemme tottuneet taklaamaan vaikeita aikoja yhdessä. Vastuuta kantamalla aiomme pitää pyörät vastedeskin liikkeessä.&lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

Kriisinhallinnan avaintekijät:  valmistautuminen, vastuullisuus ja vuoropuhelu


&lt;p&gt;Osaavaa teiden kunnossapitoa siis tarvitaan.&amp;nbsp; OTSOlla on pitkä ja vahva kokemus vaativista infrahankkeista sekä muista metsänomistajalle tärkeiden metsäpalvelujen tuottamisesta.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;OTSOn ydintehtävä on kasvattaa suomalaisten metsien arvoa tarjoamalla asiakkailleen parhaita, asiakkaan omia arvokasvutavoitteita tukevia ratkaisuja.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Tien parantaminen on aina pitkän tähtäimen investointi, johon tarvitaan tieosakkaiden järjestäytymistä ja aktiivisuutta. Metsäteiden lisäksi OTSO hallitsee yksityistieasiat kattavasti tiekunnan hallinnosta aina suuren luokan rakentamistyöhön asti.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;OTSOn projektipalvelut puolestaan tuottavat energia- ja liikenneinfrahankkeisiin puustonkäsittelyn palveluita vierimetsänhoitona tai reunavyöhykehakkuina. Niitä tehdään joko infran kunnossapitoon liittyvinä ennalta ehkäisevinä hoitotoimina tai puustonpoistona rakennettavan uuden infran tieltä.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

OTSO näyttää tietä


&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Tarvitsin itse venepukin siirron. Etsin ja kyselin, mutta toimitus olisi maksanut uuden tuotteen verran. Siitä ajatus lähti pari vuotta sitten. Halusin alustan, joka mahdollistaa helppokäyttöisen, huokean ja ekologisen logistiikan. Modernisoimme ajatuksen ”vie mennessäs, tuo tullessas”. Se mahdollistaa kuljetukset myös haja-asutusalueille, kertoo Fiugen toimitusjohtaja &lt;strong&gt;Jukka Tarkiainen&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Yritys työllistää satoja freelance-kuskeja ja asiakkaita on pääkaupunkiseudun ohella myös Porissa, Turussa, Kirkkonummella, Porvoossa, Kajaanissa, Lappeenrannassa, Mikkelissä ja Savonlinnassa. Lista laajenee jatkuvasti. Yritys tähtää myös ulkomaille, eikä ihme, sillä Fiugella on Tarkiaisen mukaan valtteja hihassaan. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;– Ruoka, apteekin käsikauppatavara, huonekalut – kaikki kulkevat mahdollisimman lyhyttä reittiä pitkin. Sovellus toimii pilvessä, muodostaen tietyllä toimitusalueella dataa yhdistellen kuljetuskokonaisuuksia. Optimoidusti kuljettaminen on ympäristöystävällistä ja huokeaa.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Fiugen sovelluksessa asiakas kertoo, mitä haluaa kuljetuksesta maksaa, sovelluksen tuella. Tavara haetaan ja kuljetetaan silloin, kun se sopii parhaiten asiakkaalle. Kuljetukset ovatkin 30-50 % alan yleistä hintaa edullisempia.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;– Tarjoamme nopeat kuljetukset, sillä kuskien myötä kalustoa on aina käytettävissä. Hintaan kuuluu vakuutus. Kuljetamme saman päivän aikana, joskus tunninkin sisällä. Vastaanottajille lähtee yksilöity tekstiviesti, jossa on kaikki tiedot. Kartasta voi seurata myös paketin liikkumista ja kommunikoida kuljettajan kanssa. Tuomme muilta aloilta tutut modernit käytännöt kuljettamiseen.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kotiinkuljetusten esiinmarssi&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Yrityksille palvelun käyttö on ilmaista, eikä vaadi investointeja tai sitoutumista sopimuksiin. Esimerkiksi kivijalkaliikkeet voivat palvelullaan ja nopealla kotiinkuljetuksella saada kilpailuetua. – Kuljetusreittien optimointi on virtuaalista, emme varastoi tavaroita jakelukeskuksiin. Noudamme ja toimitamme paketit ovelta ovelle, eikä turhia menoeriä tai lisiä ole. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Kevään epidemiatilanne toi uusia tuulia. Suuri joukko oppi tilaamaan kotiin kaikkea tarvittavaa, vanhuksille toimitettiin postilähetyksiä ja niin edelleen. Tarkiaisen mukaan ilmiö on tullut jäädäkseen.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;– Ihmiset oppivat tutkimaan vaihtoehtoja entistä uteliaammin. Yritykset, jotka osasivat panostaa kotiinkuljetukseen, pärjäsivät hyvin. Palvelu on tuonut heille uudenlaisia asiakkaita, silti itse asiakkuus säilyy yrityksellä. Asiakas tilaa tutusta paikasta, me olemme palveluketjun mahdollistaja.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

Ketterämpi tapa kuljettaa – modernisoitua yhteisöllisyyttä

DUBAIEXPO_2020.png

Finland at Dubai Expo 2020 -magazine gives  you a glimpse of Dubai Expo 2020 Finnish participants.

&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;You can tell that the Finland Pavilion at the Dubai Expo 2020 was designed by happy people. It was made by Finns, who are the happiest people in the world according to the UN&amp;rsquo;s World Happiness Report.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Finland is unique in that we have developed an infrastructure for happiness,&amp;rdquo; explains Teemu Kurkela, Founder of JKMM Architects who designed the Finland Pavilion. &amp;ldquo;Happiness is not a soft goal or a feeling. Instead, happiness is a conscious public policy goal when we develop things like health or education.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Happiness is expressed in architecture where the human and wellbeing are in focus. Spaces can enhance a sense of solidarity between individuals and cultures.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;People like to find connections to each other, because we really aren&amp;rsquo;t that different,&amp;rdquo; Kurkela explains. &amp;ldquo;The front of the pavilion is similar to the traditional Arabic tent. Yet the white surface was inspired by the thin white layer of snow that covers the Finnish landscape in the beginning of every winter. This is two cultures touching.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Human contact has been curtailed in recent months, but as we manage the pandemic we should once again look forward to happy meetings. The central gorge of the Finland&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Pavilion is open to the public and was created as a place to meet. It is covered with curved wooden surfaces in a simple, minimalistic design.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Architecture is a vessel for stories to be told, and the story will evolve over the course of the Expo,&amp;rdquo; says Kurkela. &amp;ldquo;I encourage people to attend and tell their own stories.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

JKMM Architects Finland Pavilion Dubai Expo 2020 Frozen Art 01.webp

JKMM’s architecture has social responsibility at its core. We design buildings, which can help to increase happiness in society.
 
 
Traditionally we build societies only prioritising business and technology. Yet, this is only the base level. To thrive, communities need to aim higher, towards embracing Culture, Knowledge and Wellbeing. At the very highest level, the ultimate goal should be happiness. This is our goal when designing a sustainable society.
 
 
Architects have had an essential role in creating the infrastucture for happiness in Finland. We at JKMM Architects have been building Finnish happiness for more than 20 years.

Building happiness

&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Those who visit Snow Cape, the Finland pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai, are in for a treat. The exterior has been designed to replicate a traditional Arabic tent covered in a thin white layer of snow. The interior will serve as an avenue for businesses, cultures and people to connect and share ideas. To ensure each encounter is memorable, ISKU has designed and furnished the VIP and conference area of Snow Cape, the Finland Majilis, with masterpieces of Finnish design.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;ldquo;We are proud to have supplied the Finland pavilion with high-quality, sustainable and most importantly, safe furniture. Expo 2020 Dubai is the perfect platform for people to engage with one another. For all those visiting the Finland Majilis we aim to provide memorable experiences from Finland, showcase Finnish nature, and share our sustainability journey,&amp;rdquo; said &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Arto&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Tiitinen&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, CEO of ISKU.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4 class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Responsible sustainability from generation to generation&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Finnish design is known for its aesthetic qualities, functionality and high-quality craftmanship. ISKU has been a pioneer in bringing sustainability and a love of nature to the forefront of the design industry and were instrumental in developing environmentally friendly and nature saving manufacturing solutions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;ISKU&amp;rsquo;s story dates back to 1928 and is deeply rooted in northern nature, Finnish wood and the founder Eino Vikstr&amp;ouml;m&amp;rsquo;s carpentry skills. Nearly 100 years later, the family-owned company continues to uphold these values, taking responsibility for each other and the environment. To ISKU, sustainable development comes naturally and operating responsibly means only making value-driven choices and considered actions. With this consistent approach, ISKU is establishing a lasting legacy by providing future generations with a cleaner, safer environment to study, work and thrive. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Circular economy thinking runs throughout the entire lifecycle of our products, from the drawings on the designer&amp;rsquo;s desk to the furniture&amp;rsquo;s last use. By its very nature, a family-owned business builds its vision and operations for future generations. It does not compromise on sustainability for the sake of short-term profits,&amp;rdquo; emphasises Tiitinen.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4 class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Investing in innovations.&amp;nbsp;Caring for life.&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;ISKU is not only responsible for the environment but also for people. The team has developed the world&amp;rsquo;s first antimicrobial furniture collections to reduce the spread of infection by providing cleaner, healthier and safer environments. ISKU+ antimicrobial materials in contact surfaces prevent the growth of microbes and reduce the infection routes in schools, hospitals, offices and any multi-user environments. The ISKU+ technologies can reduce harmful microbes by up to 99.99 per cent, and as a further signal of caring for life, the antimicrobial solutions are available and affordable for all.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The Finland Majilis is furnished with ISKU&amp;rsquo;s antimicrobial furniture to ensure each visitor is welcomed into a clean and safe environment. I encourage all visitors to Expo 2020 Dubai to visit Snow Cape where you can learn more about Finland, Finnish happiness and our sustainable choices,&amp;rdquo; concluded Tiitinen.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;The Mall of Tripla is the largest shopping centre in Northern Europe. It is part of the new 350,000 square metre Tripla complex in Helsinki, Finland, which includes a railway station, offices, a hotel and residences. Granlund Manager was chosen to manage the property.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Granlund Manager is maintenance made smart and simple,&amp;rdquo; explains&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Veikko Martiskainen&lt;/strong&gt;, head of international operations at Granlund. &amp;ldquo;It is a cloud-based property maintenance and energy management software which helps owners improve profitability.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Conducting proper maintenance and adding efficiency to operations saves money, while taking good care of the asset helps maintain its value. Granlund Manager also aims to keep the people inside happier, such as through indoor air quality, which boosts the lease value. It is critical for property management companies to use the best tools in order to maximise the value of their property portfolios.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Founded in 1960, Granlund provides MEP design, facility maintenance software services and consultation to construction and real estate firms. Finland-based Granlund has 1,100 professionals working in Scandinavia, the UK, Asia and the Middle East.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Unlocking benefits of digitalisation&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Granlund Manager is used by 60,000 properties around the world, including the Finland pavilion at the Dubai Expo 2020. Granlund is a partner of Finland at the Expo and their software makes sure that visitors from around the world get a pleasant indoor climate experience when they visit the pavilion. It is an excellent opportunity for visitors to get to know Finland and Finnish technology.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Granlund Manager a critical tool to gain the benefits of digitalisation in property management. It helps to boost efficiency by optimising time and resources. It gives visibility of building assets and maintenance actions as well as customised reports for owners.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Having correct information quickly allows you to take action,&amp;rdquo; Martiskainen&lt;br /&gt;says. &amp;ldquo;There used to be a gap between monitoring and maintenance. We provide a smoother data flow and process so you can act faster. This allows you to lower costs and improve sustainability.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Real value for property owners&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Granlund Manager is also integrated with BIM. It uses BIM to visualise conditions and performance, synchronise data from multiple sources and create a digital twin to improve operations. The data of thousands of technical devices with design and build information have already been transferred via BIM integration.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;We went from reactive maintenance to preventative maintenance,&amp;rdquo; Martiskainen&lt;br /&gt;continues. &amp;ldquo;Now we are moving to predictive maintenance. With sensor data in a BIM model we can combine smart building and IoT solutions.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;As an example, in Tripla they have 1,000 smart metres which are integrated to invoice systems and analytics. BIM can merge with facility management in a state-of-the-art application.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;We work hard to provide real value to property owners,&amp;rdquo; says Martiskainen. &amp;ldquo;With Granlund Manager they can lower operating costs, strengthen asset value and contribute to the happiness and welfare of their tenants.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

The best properties in the world need the smartest maintenance tools

&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;If you ever visit Helsinki, Finland and ask a native what you should see, he will probably mention the cathedral, the old island fortress and the Allas Sea Pool. The Allas Sea Pool, a floating sea spa, has quickly become one of the most popular destinations in the Finnish capital for residents and tourists alike. It was created by Bluet, a Finnish company specialised in waterfront development with floating solutions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Waterfront development doesn&amp;rsquo;t need to stop on the shoreline. You can go over the edge of land to the water,&amp;rdquo; says &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Tytti Sirola&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, co-founder and CEO of Bluet.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Bluet designs and implements floating solutions that improve waterfront areas. They work with real estate developers, cities, construction companies and the operators of services such as restaurants, marinas or spas. Their hybrid solutions are not simply traditional waterfront development or floating buildings. Instead, they open up a new world of opportunities not available with either option alone.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4 class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Save money, time and the environment&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;The waterfront is some of the most desirable real estate in any city, but it can be problematic to develop. Waterfront real estate is limited, unless you want to engage in the expensive, tedious and invasive work of land reclamation. Bluet&amp;rsquo;s solution is simple: expand from the shore onto water. Floating construction brings new opportunities to develop waterfronts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The benefits of floating construction are improved sustainability, versatility and profits,&amp;rdquo; Sirola continues. &amp;ldquo;Floating solutions can be much more environmentally friendly than land reclamation. Floating solutions can also be temporary. For example, you could use a floating platform for a seasonal restaurant, or even for a temporary construction site.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Construction can be especially challenging in the tight confines of a developed waterfront. In Sweden Bluet was involved in a project to redevelop an old residential area. The problem developers faced was a lack of space for construction site services. Bluet designed floating platforms so the construction company could set up a base of operations. When the project is completed the floating foundations will be converted into swimming pools.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Another added benefit is that floating adds to the experience. People don&amp;rsquo;t recommend the Allas Sea Pool because there are no other spas or saunas in Helsinki; they recommend it because it provides a fantastic experience of floating on the Baltic Sea with unparalleled views in the city centre.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;figure class=&quot;image table&quot;&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;opacity-60 border-solid border-2 border-wematchu-theme&quot; src=&quot;/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fd25qe8jyswzzt9.cloudfront.net%2Flarge_Panko_kuva_1_16_e8e7ec9fd4.webp&amp;amp;w=640&amp;amp;q=75&quot; srcset=&quot;https://wematchu.com/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fd25qe8jyswzzt9.cloudfront.net%2Flarge_Panko_kuva_1_16_e8e7ec9fd4.webp&amp;amp;w=384&amp;amp;q=75 1x, https://wematchu.com/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fd25qe8jyswzzt9.cloudfront.net%2Flarge_Panko_kuva_1_16_e8e7ec9fd4.webp&amp;amp;w=640&amp;amp;q=75 2x&quot; /&gt;
&lt;figcaption class=&quot;figure-caption-bottom&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;
&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;h4 class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Everything floats&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Floating swimming pools and spas are enormously popular. Bluet has developed floating pools across Europe and also cooperate with the ingenious Panko concept. Panko combines Scandinavian design, timber construction, sustainable solutions, sauna and Nordic flavours into one experience. Panko&amp;rsquo;s luxury products are used in high-end hotels, marinas, golf resorts and other establishments. Bluet works with Panko to take care of waterfront development, technical solutions, construction and project implementation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;There are many other possibilities for floating solutions, including leisure and commercial areas. Floating concert stages can give beach-goers an unforgettable evening, or a place with limited parking could even have floating car lots. Bluet even created a floating seal habitat for a zoo, including trees, rocks and a pool. The zoo was located on a small island and did not have space for the new exhibit, so Bluet created a floating habitat.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Housing projects are also popular, because people love to live next to the sea,&amp;rdquo; says Sirola. &amp;ldquo;We are currently working on a major project which will be the largest floating residential area in the Nordic region. It includes 40 buildings and all the necessary infrastructure like roads and bridges.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4 class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Creative as well&amp;nbsp;as scientific&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Many projects require an individual and customised solution, but Bluet noticed that many of their customers needed particular products which were either extremely expensive or simply didn&amp;rsquo;t exist. To solve this challenge Bluet created their own products in the categories of floating infrastructure, pools and multiuse platforms. They are modular, scalable and are modified to specific projects to fit local permits and site requirements.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;The floating infrastructure includes pontoons, anchoring, technical connections and several types of foundations. The pool products include heated pools and the popular natural water pools, which can be bottomless or a mesh pool. If the surrounding water quality isn&amp;rsquo;t adequate, Bluet can also deliver a filtering system. Bluet&amp;rsquo;s modular floating platform can be easily combined with others to form a variety of shapes and sizes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;I consider Bluet as a &amp;lsquo;realiser&amp;rsquo;, in that we make visions feasible,&amp;rdquo; Sirola says. &amp;ldquo;We don&amp;rsquo;t just create ideas for the distant future, but we also aren&amp;rsquo;t only an engineering company. We are creative as well as scientific. If a customer wants something that can&amp;rsquo;t be done in their budget, we tell them. When we come to a solution we make it a reality. We make it happen.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4 class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;One-stop-shop&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Bluet believes in a full-service process, including pre-planning, pre-construction, delivery and lifecycle services. They help clients with concept and feasibility in order to achieve their vision of the project. In pre-construction Bluet works on all the millions of details on sizes, materials, technology, transportation and assembly. In delivery they manufacture, deliver and test the product. Once the project is running Bluet doesn&amp;rsquo;t disappear; they can provide lifetime services such as maintenance and inspections. They can guide the entire project through each phase, but the flexible working model also allows them to only handle specific tasks.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;In effect, we join the client&amp;rsquo;s team,&amp;rdquo; Sirola explains. &amp;ldquo;We are a part of the local team, working with the local general contractor and the client&amp;rsquo;s own project team. It works very well. Together we can create the perfect floating solution for their needs.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;So much about the future remains uncertain, but we&amp;rsquo;re taking every possible step to create an environment where visitors are safe and stay healthy&amp;rdquo;, says &lt;strong&gt;Kristiina Hietasaari&lt;/strong&gt;, Head of Visit Finland. She is confident that tourism in a post-COVID world will soar again. She explains: &amp;ldquo;I have no doubt the global travel industry will recover. &amp;nbsp;People are looking to return to their favourite vacation spots, only with a different approach to their journeys.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;On the tourism marketplace, Hietasaari sees trust as a much more significant issue. &amp;ldquo;Many people question whether they stay equally safe and well abroad as at home; they often worry about crowds and queues. In this sense, Finland offers the best conditions for post-pandemic travel: The country offers space, privacy, and the great outdoors. Perhaps, the most reassuring about Finland right now is the fact that social distancing to Finns comes naturally. Trust me, we&amp;rsquo;re very disciplined when waiting in line for example.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The most reassuring about Finland right now is the fact that social distancing to Finns comes naturally.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Finland is great for adventures with a breath of fresh air because large parts of its land are covered by forests. &amp;ldquo;A common perception is that it&amp;rsquo;s too cold in Finland&amp;rdquo;, Hietasaari recognises. &amp;ldquo;The truth is that, with temperatures up to 30&amp;deg;C in the summer, it can get pleasantly warm. This makes Finland the perfect destination for those who wish to escape a heatwave in hotter, more southern countries.&amp;rdquo; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;image table&quot;&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fd25qe8jyswzzt9.cloudfront.net%2Flarge_Finland_Saimaa_kayaking_8e1e8281f1.webp&amp;amp;w=640&amp;amp;q=75&quot; srcset=&quot;/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fd25qe8jyswzzt9.cloudfront.net%2Flarge_Finland_Saimaa_kayaking_8e1e8281f1.webp&amp;amp;w=384&amp;amp;q=75 1x, /_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fd25qe8jyswzzt9.cloudfront.net%2Flarge_Finland_Saimaa_kayaking_8e1e8281f1.webp&amp;amp;w=640&amp;amp;q=75 2x&quot; width=&quot;518&quot; height=&quot;345&quot; /&gt;
&lt;figcaption class=&quot;figure-caption-bottom&quot;&gt;Kayaking at lake Saimaa.&lt;/figcaption&gt;
&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Above all, Finland provides a balanced mix of activities. For sport enthusiast, Finland&amp;rsquo;s hilly, forest-covered landscape create particularly suitable conditions for mountain biking; and with 10% of the country&amp;rsquo;s land area being covered by water, canoeing and kayaking are excellent ways of experiencing nature, together with water jet safaris. Hietasaari says: &amp;ldquo;On their return, visitors to Finland will tell stories about a peaceful week they spent in a summer cottage by a secluded lake with a private beach that allowed them to swim in refreshing lake water.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Visitors to Finland will tell stories about a peaceful week they spent in a summer cottage by a secluded lake.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;She continues: &amp;ldquo;Besides having turned on the barbeque grill in a wood fire hut, visitors to Finland will typically remember the clean waters of our Lakeland district.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;At the many lakeshore places, they will have tasted creamy salmon soup and Karelian pasties at the local market. They will also have spoken with local people, to find out about life in Finland. Before flying out from the Helsinki Airport, they will have strolled along the main shopping street in the city centre, to take home some finish design as a souvenir. Those with children, will of course have visited the Moominworld theme park.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;image table&quot;&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fd25qe8jyswzzt9.cloudfront.net%2Flarge_2363_4_DSC_0230_62e406ddac.webp&amp;amp;w=640&amp;amp;q=75&quot; srcset=&quot;/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fd25qe8jyswzzt9.cloudfront.net%2Flarge_2363_4_DSC_0230_62e406ddac.webp&amp;amp;w=384&amp;amp;q=75 1x, /_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fd25qe8jyswzzt9.cloudfront.net%2Flarge_2363_4_DSC_0230_62e406ddac.webp&amp;amp;w=640&amp;amp;q=75 2x&quot; width=&quot;485&quot; height=&quot;323&quot; /&gt;
&lt;figcaption class=&quot;figure-caption-bottom&quot;&gt;Snowmobile ride in the winter forest.&lt;/figcaption&gt;
&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Listing the many memories visitors to Finland can create, Hietasaari is confident that, in post-COVID tourism, the country is well-positioned to cater for new wishes and changed attitudes of travellers. &amp;ldquo;Finland has a strong ability to compete in the global travel marketplace also in the longer term&amp;rdquo;, she asserts. &amp;ldquo;We score high in many categories and wish to keep the momentum by integrating environmentally friendly practices into tourism. The more sustainable our travel and tourism industry becomes, the stronger we will grow.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The more sustainable our travel and tourism industry becomes, the stronger we will grow.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;To live up to this claim, Finland has introduced a scheme for awarding the Sustainable Travel Finland label to businesses fulfilling certain environmental criteria. &amp;ldquo;We also award regions with eco-labels&amp;rdquo;, says Hietasaari. &amp;ldquo;If more than 51% of businesses in one destination have received the Sustainable Travel Finland label, then the entire destination qualifies for one.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;She explains that Finland focuses on collective commitment. &amp;ldquo;Not only are we concerned about individual businesses, but we&amp;rsquo;d like entire regions to do sustainable business. This way, we make sure there are no weak links in the ecosystem, where one or two key players would not be committing to the environmental cause.&amp;rdquo; All this gives Hietasaari confidence about what the future will bring. &amp;ldquo;We&amp;rsquo;re even introducing a calculator for travel providers to measure the ecological footprint of their guests&amp;rdquo;, she reveals.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;When people think of Finland, they often associate it with Santa Claus, sauna, swimming in icy water, and the Northern Lights. However, there are other options outside the realm of leisure travel. &amp;ldquo;Parents can send their children to Finland for summer camp, where their little ones are offered high-quality education in natural surroundings,&amp;rdquo; Hietasaari explains. &amp;ldquo;With us, they are free to spend time in fresh air while learning at the same time.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;We want our guests to feel happy when they come to Finland.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;She also describes the concept of health traveling: &amp;ldquo;Finns enjoy top-quality health care services. With people paying extra attention to their well-being, I could imagine patients to choose Finland for their next place of treatment.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;For the fourth year running, Finland has been named the happiest country in the world &amp;ndash; even during the COVID crisis. Hietasaari explains: &amp;ldquo;We Finns are very easy-going and down to earth; literally. We value being close to nature and are eager to share this purifying experience with the world. We want our guests to feel happy when they come to Finland and truly believe that visiting us will give people a fresh perspective on life!&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

Space, privacy, and the great outdoors: This is Finland!

&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Oulu is also an international research and development centre, with 25 000 students at two universities. One in three people have an academic degree. The collaboration between companies, the public sector and the universities is intensive, and the city bustles with innovations and opportunities.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Oulu is among Europe&amp;rsquo;s youngest cities, as the average age is just 38 years. When it comes to quality of life, people in Oulu are the happiest in the north.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Besides wireless technologies and the Air Guitar World Championships, Oulu is world-famous for its well-maintained 1000-kilometre network of bicycle routes and the resilience of local winter bikers. Minus 20 degrees is not an excuse for not going to work or school by bike.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Oulu is world-famous for its well-maintained 1000-kilometre network of bicycle routes.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Oulu has four distinct seasons, ranging from the midnight sun of the summer to the crisp winter days and polar night coloured by northern lights above a thick blanket of snow. The seaside setting and four rivers with the nearby countryside and wilderness provide perfect ground for recreation, relaxation, and well-being.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;For centuries, Oulu has made its mark in international trade by exporting tar, paper, and technology solutions. Today, it is the leading northern Scandinavian hub for business, education, and culture. Recently, Oulu had the honour of being selected as European Capital of Culture for the year 2026.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;A pioneering city for digitalisation, Oulu boasts 50 years of expertise in wireless technology. Every day, approximately 2.6 billion people globally use mobile technologies developed in Oulu. The city is at the forefront in 5G network development &amp;ndash; and going fast towards 6G.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Today, Oulu is the leading northern Scandinavian hub for business, education, and culture.&quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;The Oulu region is the second largest hub of health technology in Finland.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Numerous companies in the health and life science field, with research institutions and the public sector, operate together as a network called OuluHealth. They offer world-class solutions and expand to international markets, striving to transform healthcare on a global scale.

Oulu – City on the Edge

&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;A&amp;nbsp;Finnish man lived far from his aging parents, so their main way of contact was by phone calls. He wished there was some video solution so that he could see his parents and health care providers could give them remote care. Since there was nothing satisfactory on the market, he decided to create it himself.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;VideoVisit is a family company, founded in 2010 by a Finnish video communication pioneer &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mr. Esa Ojala&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;. VideoVisit provides a complete remote care platform with all necessary tools for social and healthcare providers. Over one million virtual care visits have taken place on their platform.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The challenge healthcare systems around the world face is to provide the best care with a limited amount of resources. We help them meet their goals,&amp;rdquo; says &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Juhana&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ojala&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, co-founder and CEO of&amp;nbsp;VideoVisit Global.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4 class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lowering costs&amp;nbsp;and carbon emissions&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Finland has been a good place to develop such a solution. The population is comfortable with technology, there are many talented high-tech workers available, and healthcare authorities are eager to try innovative ideas. The City of Helsinki first partnered with VideoVisit in a pilot in 2014 and they are still working together today.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Today 30,000 virtual visits are made every month on our system, and that is just in Helsinki. About 200 municipalities all over Finland use us. We could practically use the Finnish healthcare system as a reference case,&amp;rdquo; says Ojala.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Helsinki is a good example of the problems many healthcare systems around the world must solve. They have an increased demand for their services but are constrained by their budget. More people have long-term diseases or chronic ailments and need increased care. Helsinki added virtual visits not as an add-on service, but as an integrated part of their home care.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&quot;The challenge healthcare systems around the world face is to provide the best care with a limited amount of resources. We help them meet their goals.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Helsinki enjoyed major efficiency improvements due to embracing virtual visits. A healthcare worker might be able to make 5-10 physical home visits per shift, but can make 60-80 virtual visits in the same amount of time. Similarly, each physical home visit costs about &amp;euro;40&amp;ndash;50, but a virtual visit is only about &amp;euro;5. The City of Helsinki is saving about &amp;euro;10 million annually in operating expenses due to VideoVisit.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Moreover, with about 100,000 kilometres in travelling saved each month, virtual visits are much more environmentally friendly and help municipalities achieve their sustainability goals. Cutting out 100,000 kilometres in unnecessary car travel saves about 12.34 tonnes of CO2 emissions every month.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4 class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Safer during the COVID-19 pandemic&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Today we even have another challenge: how to safely provide healthcare in a pandemic,&amp;rdquo; says Ojala. &amp;ldquo;Remote care is the answer.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Healthcare workers are a high-risk group. They need to serve many members of the public but still remain safe and not spread the disease. A good example is the UK&amp;rsquo;s National Health Service (NHS). When the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic began to be clear, the UK asked for innovators who could support people digitally. Eighteen different solutions were handpicked for the &amp;ldquo;Techforce 19&amp;rdquo; programme out of 1,600 applicants. VideoVisit was the only non-UK company selected.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;VideoVisit has also expanded to Baltics and Iberia and will add more efforts into other markets such as Nordics and UK. In the fall they launch in Japan, which faces another challenge. Japan&amp;rsquo;s demographics are aging rapidly and they need homecare solutions for their elderly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4 class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Saudi Arabia interested&amp;nbsp;in virtual care&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The Saudi Ministry of Health had an official visit to Finland and saw a demo of our services in Helsinki. They even got to talk remotely to a patient at home to see how it worked and what he thought about it,&amp;rdquo; Ojala says. &amp;ldquo;They were very interested in our solution and invited us to Saudi Arabia.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Saudi Arabia&amp;rsquo;s healthcare system faces unique challenges. While Japan needs help with an aging population, the demographics in the Middle-East are different. Saudi Arabia is more concerned with efficiently and effectively treating long-term and chronic diseases.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;VidoeVisit&amp;rsquo;s solution is versatile enough to fit the needs of different countries. It is capable of combining home, primary and secondary care in one system. It can be used by everyone from a social care worker to a specialist surgeon to consult with patients.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;We provide the technology platform, but we also help healthcare systems evolve their care models so they can implement virtual care services,&amp;rdquo; Ojala explains. &amp;ldquo;They can change their operational model to give better care to their patients while improving efficiency.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;image table&quot;&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fd25qe8jyswzzt9.cloudfront.net%2Flarge_Video_Visit_Global_Ltd_Virtual_Rehab_Photo_Katariina_Ojala_Video_Visit_ea055045d3.webp&amp;amp;w=640&amp;amp;q=75&quot; srcset=&quot;https://wematchu.com/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fd25qe8jyswzzt9.cloudfront.net%2Flarge_Video_Visit_Global_Ltd_Virtual_Rehab_Photo_Katariina_Ojala_Video_Visit_ea055045d3.webp&amp;amp;w=384&amp;amp;q=75 1x, https://wematchu.com/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fd25qe8jyswzzt9.cloudfront.net%2Flarge_Video_Visit_Global_Ltd_Virtual_Rehab_Photo_Katariina_Ojala_Video_Visit_ea055045d3.webp&amp;amp;w=640&amp;amp;q=75 2x&quot; /&gt;

&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;h4 class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Helping to make patients happier and healthier&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Although healthcare systems can improve care and lower costs, some of the greatest benefits goes to patients and their families. VideoVisit also provides a mobile application for family members so they can talk to their loved ones over a secure connection. This gives them peace of mind when they can see and talk to their family, regardless of how far away they are.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&quot;VidoeVisit&amp;rsquo;s solution is versatile enough to fit the needs of different countries.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Many patients might have difficulty leaving their homes, due to COVID-19 restrictions or their own conditions. VideoVisit gives them opportunities to socialise with other people.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;We&amp;rsquo;ve had group-based activities, like physical rehabilitation sessions, book clubs or even virtual visits from local priests,&amp;rdquo; says Ojala. &amp;ldquo;Many patients tend to be lonely, so this contact can be very important for their happiness and well-being.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

Remote care improves patient wellbeing while lowering costs

&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;L7 Drive is a Finnish clean technology company who have developed and patented smart energy subsystem technologies. They have pioneered an intelligent power backup solution for telecom networks for intelligent light poles with 5Gmm radios.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;This is an entirely different kind of solution that gives a longer battery life, lower costs, greater reliability and possibility to offer a 2nd life for batteries,&amp;rdquo; says Pentti Bruun, CEO of L7 Drive. &amp;ldquo;As a secondary usage they can be turned as a part of Virtual Power Plant and to generate revenue.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;A modern smart city needs reliable connectivity to create new services, and for that they need power backup. We are moving from lead-acid battery backup to more efficient battery chemistry. The L7 uses lithium-ion batteries with long life, small size and light weight, offering smart and new use cases.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;It&amp;rsquo;s also crucial to solve battery-related temperature problems, we have this fully integrated and our solutions are available in both hot and cold climates, which is important for all lithium batteries,&amp;rdquo; Bruun says.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;L7 Drive&amp;rsquo;s solution consists of a backup battery, communication hardware and cloud solution. The system has already been successfully tested, such as in the Nokia-led LuxTurrim 5G project in Finland.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;m very excited to be a partner with Finland at the Dubai Expo,&amp;rdquo; says Bruun. &amp;ldquo;I hope anyone who needs advanced energy management solutions gets in touch with us to learn more.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Amidst sudden school closures, innovation - particularly technological innovation - became a necessity. Several of the gaps left by the limitations of an in-person classroom were swiftly filled in by video conferencing tools, learning software, and more.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;These circumstances have led technology-based educational models such as hybrid learning (part in-person, part online) to become the natural next step in the evolution of the learning experience.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Christopher Petrie&lt;/strong&gt;, Director of Digital Learning at New Nordic School, shares, &amp;ldquo;the pandemic has made us question the very purpose of education and the means by which we provide it. There&amp;rsquo;s a need to modernize, to be aligned with what matters today. Models like hybrid learning are designed to help students have a say in their own learning journey while catering to the needed skills of the 21st century and being relevant to the modern world.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;New Nordic School is transforming current systems of education through its pre-K to grade 12 hybrid education system that combines the renowned Finnish curriculum, international pedagogy, and hybrid learning. The AI-powered system dynamically offers personalized tools and resources for each student while empowering them to explore their natural creativity, discover their true passions, and shape their own future. New Nordic School&amp;rsquo;s partner schools are opening around the world.&lt;/p&gt;

Why Hybrid Learning Is Here to Stay

&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;The only thing better than a bird&amp;rsquo;s eye view is a satellite&amp;rsquo;s eye view. Companies, governments and institutions around the globe rely on satellites to give them fast, accurate and reliable images of the Earth. ICEYE has created a solution, putting Synthetic-Aperture Radar (SAR) into microsatellites.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;ICEYE offers very high-resolution SAR imagery, which was not previously possible,&amp;rdquo; says &lt;strong&gt;Jamil Kawar&lt;/strong&gt;, ICEYE&amp;rsquo;s Director of Global Sales. &amp;ldquo;This is due to our world-leading technology and revolutionary radar design which minimised the size and weight of satellites.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Radar satellites reflect energy off the ground to create images, even in the dark or through cloud cover. ICEYE&amp;rsquo;s design is flexible, allowing multiple imaging modes from a resolution of 25 cm up to 10,000 km2. With their fleet of 14 satellites ICEYE can get images of a location within a few hours, not in days or weeks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Saving money and lives&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;ICEYE&amp;rsquo;s mission is to help our customers to make informed, data-driven decisions to address time-critical challenges,&amp;rdquo; Kawar continues. &amp;ldquo;These include industries such as security, maritime, disaster management, insurance and finance.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;For example, in the spring of 2021 the world&amp;rsquo;s largest reinsurer, Swiss Re, partnered with ICEYE to improve flood risk management, assist disaster response and expedite claims payments. ICEYE&amp;rsquo;s near real-time images of flood areas could not only save money, but lives.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;ICEYE&amp;rsquo;s technology and large constellation of satellites allowed them to accomplish another world first: &amp;nbsp;what they term &amp;ldquo;persistent monitoring&amp;rdquo;. Satellites have always been limited by the timing and rate of target imaging. ICEYE&amp;rsquo;s solution goes a great way to solving this old problem. Their growing constellation of satellites is designed to rapidly revisit any area on the globe.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;No other company can provide this highly frequent persistence, allowing coherent change detection of clients&amp;rsquo; targets,&amp;rdquo; Kawar explains. &amp;ldquo;Examples of its use are to view what was present one day and not the next, such as boats at a jetty or planes on an airfield; or changes to land surfaces like tyre tracks or flattened grass where a helicopter landed.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Turn data into decisions&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;The Middle East is already an important market for the company. Industries like security, disaster management, energy and space have already been shown interest in ICEYE&amp;rsquo;s services.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;For example, ICEYE turns SAR data into actionable information for monitoring oil and gas pipelines in the region,&amp;rdquo; says Kawar. &amp;ldquo;This enables our clients to monitor the pipeline right of way for third-party interference and geohazards. Satellite SAR data is a reliable and timely source of information that can also be used for proactive oil spill detection. ICEYE in the Middle East helps our customers detect potential oil slicks from platforms, FPSOs, passing vessels, pipelines and related infrastructure.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;The company has already delivered over 40,000 images to their clients, but they are continuing to improve their offering. In 2022 they plan to be serving customers with 18 or more satellites, providing unrivalled global access, revisit frequency and delivery speed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;If you live in Dubai, you may have stepped on a little piece of Finland and not even realised it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Some floating structures in Dubai were developed here in the Turku region,&amp;rdquo; explains &lt;strong&gt;Tero Piispanen&lt;/strong&gt;, senior executive at Turku Science Park Ltd. &amp;ldquo;The Turku region is known globally from its strong maritime industry.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;The Turku region is on the Finnish coast, almost in the heart of Northern Europe. The area is large enough to get things done but small enough to be agile and innovative. In particular, Turku is strong in high-tech and knowledge-based industries.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The first university in Finland was founded here, and still today we are knowledge-driven,&amp;rdquo; Piispanen continues. &amp;ldquo;Southwest Finland has 7 higher education institutions. The city of Turku has about 200,000 inhabitants and more than 20 percent of Turku&amp;rsquo;s residents are higher education students.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Top research for professional health&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;One of the keys to Turku&amp;rsquo;s popularity for R&amp;amp;D is how private companies, the public sector and academia collaborate to solve challenges. This multidisciplinary approach is built upon a foundation of stability, predictability and security in the operating environment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Piispanen mentions machine learning, industrial technology, and healthtech as exciting industries in the region. There are a number of health technology companies in Turku, ranging from revolutionary startups to established multinational players. Although they have a wide variety of health specialties, Piispanen notes diagnostics, biomaterials and pharmaceuticals are some of the fastest growing sectors.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Companies from the Turku Region participated in the Arab Health event for several years,&amp;rdquo; he says. &amp;ldquo;It is always great to talk about our innovative solutions and to find collaboration opportunities in Dubai.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Innovative cleantech&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Another flourishing sector looking for talented workers and partners is cleantech. The city of Turku is serious about sustainability, aiming to be carbon neutral by 2029. Clean technology is one of the fastest growing industrial sectors in the world and the Turku region is becoming a global forerunner in future growth industries, such as electric transportation, bioeconomy and circular economy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;One great example of an innovation from the Turku region is a startup company which developed a new technology to recover valuable metals from used batteries and industrial side streams. Today, this breakthrough technology is further developed by the Finnish company Fortum, with the target to reduce the environmental impact of recycling lithium in electric vehicle (EV) batteries,&amp;rdquo; says &lt;strong&gt;Linda Fr&amp;ouml;berg-Niemi&lt;/strong&gt;, CEO to the new Green Industry Park in the region. &amp;ldquo;The founder of the company conducted research at a university here, so this is a success story from our regional science and innovation competencies.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;There are many great business opportunities in Turku, but we can&amp;rsquo;t forget about the quality of life here,&amp;rdquo; Fr&amp;ouml;berg-Niemi says. &amp;ldquo;The city is clean, safe and well-functioning. People might come to Turku to work or invest, but they find so many other things to enjoy here.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Higher education requires long term planning. Colleges and universities need to offer a curriculum that will provide the skills society needs in the future. But what exactly will society need in the future? You need a crystal ball to know &amp;ndash; which just happens to be the name Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences chose for their AI-driven solution.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Based in Finland, Haaga-Helia has 11,000 students and 650 experts. They are strongly oriented towards the needs of business, and focus on sales and services, entrepreneurship, innovation and internationality. They developed an AI solution to compare what they are teaching and what future employers will need.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Haaga-Helia knows that the world is changing, and we want to play a part in developing education for the future. We want to be innovative, non-traditional and try new approaches with international partners. At Haaga-Helia you are allowed to try new things, even if you fail. Because even if you fail you learn something new.&amp;rdquo; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;ndash;&amp;nbsp;Pasi Tuominen, project director at Haaga-Helia&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;It is impossible for an individual or even a group of individuals to analyse all of the data available,&amp;rdquo; explains &lt;strong&gt;Pasi Tuominen&lt;/strong&gt;, project director at Haaga-Helia. &amp;ldquo;We use machine learning to analyse this data and give us actionable insight so decisions can be made about the curriculum.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Providing the skills needed in the future&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;The solution is called Crystal Ball, and was made by Haaga-Helia and their partners Headai, Stereoscape and Realfiction. Visitors to the Dubai Expo&amp;rsquo;s Finland Pavilion can see the solution and how it can open doors to&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;future careers.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;We use machine learning to analyse this data&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Tuominen points out one of the beauties of Crystal Ball is how it lets you see the data. The results of the AI analysis are seen in 3D animated holographic displays which are easy to understand.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;It allows you to visualise large amounts of data in a readable format,&amp;rdquo; he says. &amp;ldquo;The software shows you the reality of what is needed. How do companies perceive the skills they need and how does this meet our existing curriculum? How far apart are they from each other?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;The system analysed thousands of job openings in Austin, Brussels, Dubai, Helsinki, Nairobi and Singapore and compared them with different programs at Haaga-&lt;br /&gt;Helia such as ICT, global business administration, sports coaching, vocational teaching and hospitality and tourism.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Innovative, tailor-made education&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Crystal Ball revealed one thing that may surprise some people: the skills demanded vary between geographic locations almost as much as between different jobs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;If you look at the skills a hotel general manager needs in Austin versus what one needs in Nairobi, you realise that employers look for significantly different skill sets in different cities,&amp;rdquo; says Tuominen. &amp;ldquo;We must consider the skills needed not just for different professions, but for different areas around the world as well.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;This places a challenge on institutions of higher education. In the modern world many people study abroad and then take jobs in other countries. Yet with the help of AI a university could develop a unique education path for an individual based upon their plans and the needs of where they would like to work.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Posiva Solutions can add value to nuclear waste management programme by saving time and cost. Typical phases of the spent nuclear fuel repository life cycle are design, construction and operation, where Posiva Solutions holds extensive experience. Posiva Solutions focuses on the sales of the know-how and technologies their parent company Posiva has accumulated from their design and R&amp;amp;D activities in the final disposal of spent nuclear fuel. Posiva Solutions delivers client value over the entire life cycle of a spent nuclear fuel final disposal programme.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Posiva is the first nuclear waste management organisation to start industrialised final disposal. Prior to proceeding to the operational phase Posiva will conduct the Trial Run of Final Disposal (TRFD).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;The TRFD comprises the whole disposal process but will be performed with dummy fuel assemblies. Posiva Solutions is offering a unique opportunity for national waste management organisations to monitor and learn how about the final disposal process from the interim storage to the deep geological repository ONKALO&amp;reg;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

Weight happiness is the key to weight loss

&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Over 50% of people live in urban areas today, and around 200,000 people move into cities every day. In addition to urbanization, sustainability and technology drive the development of smart cities. To accommodate the growing number of people while slowing down climate change, we need to adopt smarter, scalable solutions. Technology enables us to solve these challenges and helps make cities more livable and responsive.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;But what makes a city smart and sustainable?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Many technologies already exist to meet the needs of today and tomorrow. In a recent experiment in Helsinki, an autonomous delivery robot carried food from a supermarket to people in a nearby high-rise building. The robot used KONE Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to call an elevator and reach its customers. This shows how innovation and collaboration boost convenience.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Accessibility is another area of innovation. Earlier this year, we developed a solution connecting a wheelchair to our KONE DX Class digital experience elevator, meeting the increasing demands of an aging population and people with limited mobility.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;COVID-19 has highlighted urban challenges while accelerating changes.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;One example is a &amp;ldquo;15-minute city&amp;rdquo; where everything can be reached in 15 minutes on foot or by bike. Paris, for example, plans to turn every street bicycle friendly by 2024. By removing 72% of on-street parking, the freed-up space will be converted to greenery, vegetable plots, and playgrounds.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;We have the potential to make life better for everyone in cities, but limited resources constrain progress. What&amp;rsquo;s more, cities are complex ecosystems with actors from city governments to educational institutions, state-owned utilities, foundations, and private companies. But they&amp;rsquo;re all united by the same end customer: the people. We &amp;ndash; everyone living in cities &amp;ndash; are increasingly seen as active agents in smart city ecosystems.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Companies have a key role not only in financing the initiatives, but also in technology and innovation expertise. The so-called public-private-people partnerships can speed up progress.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;We at KONE are building a global ecosystem with an ambitious goal: to accommodate the next 1 billion urban dwellers over the next decade &amp;ndash; in a smooth and sustainable way. Our VETURI innovation program, co-funded by Business Finland, is one example of ecosystem collaboration targeting four segments of the smart city: smart building, smart construction, smart mobility, and smart logistics with a joint market opportunity of over 100 billion EUR, and growing over 10% annually. Sustainable urban development is a good business case &amp;ndash; it benefits cities and society at large.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;In the spirit of collaboration and sustainability, we look forward to working towards a smart and sustainable urban future with you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Urbanization needs sustainable solutions on a global scale

&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Finland&amp;rsquo;s Expo 2020 Dubai pavilion has been named Snow Cape, or Lumi in Finnish, which means snow. The simple yet refined Finnish design reflects the fascinating tradition of Finnish architecture. Inspired by the white blanket of snow covering the Finnish landscape from autumn until spring, the Finland pavilion resembles a white, snow-covered Arabic tent, bringing together our country&amp;rsquo;s icy landscapes with the culture of Expo 2020 Dubai&amp;rsquo;s host nation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Design inspiration&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Award-winning Finnish JKMM Architects created the architectural design of Snow Cape, and Expomobilia (Switzerland) has constructed the pavilion. JKMM Architects, also the architect of Finland&amp;rsquo;s pavilion at Shanghai Expo 2010, has designed a simple yet functional structure, ensuring accessibility, openness and simple people flow remain at the core of the architectural concept.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;image table&quot;&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fd25qe8jyswzzt9.cloudfront.net%2Flarge_JKMM_Architects_Finland_Pavilion_Dubai_Expo_2020_Fresh_Water_629988e5a3.webp&amp;amp;w=640&amp;amp;q=75&quot; srcset=&quot;/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fd25qe8jyswzzt9.cloudfront.net%2Flarge_JKMM_Architects_Finland_Pavilion_Dubai_Expo_2020_Fresh_Water_629988e5a3.webp&amp;amp;w=384&amp;amp;q=75 1x, /_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fd25qe8jyswzzt9.cloudfront.net%2Flarge_JKMM_Architects_Finland_Pavilion_Dubai_Expo_2020_Fresh_Water_629988e5a3.webp&amp;amp;w=640&amp;amp;q=75 2x&quot; width=&quot;635&quot; height=&quot;357&quot; /&gt;
&lt;figcaption class=&quot;figure-caption-bottom&quot;&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;
&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Finnish components and materials play an essential role in the design of the Snow Cape pavilion. Soft and light fa&amp;ccedil;ade fabric provides contrast against the hard, brushed concrete of the entrance deck. The deck, spanning the pavilion&amp;rsquo;s height, will be a cool, intermediate space to prepare visitors for a focused exhibition visit.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Hard, granite flooring will lead visitors into the heart of the pavilion, where they will find the central Gorge, in which the warmth of the gently curved wooden surface will embrace them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Central Gorge&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Intending to replicate the natural gorges found across Finland&amp;rsquo;s natural habitat, the pavilion&amp;rsquo;s Gorge offers a serene, natural space in contrast to the bustling Expo 2020 Dubai environment. It provides a shaded retreat for visitors looking to reconnect with the peaceful sounds of nature. Step inside the Gorge and feel Finland with all of your senses; take a deep breath and smell the fresh scent of wood. Bask in the natural light from above and enjoy the silence of the wooden refuge.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A journey through Finnish happiness&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;The meaning of Finnish happiness runs deeper than just pure joy. It is built upon trust and safety, a stable society, education and functionality. It is made possible by innovations in industry and society. Happiness is contentment and confidence in the future.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;The Finnish exhibition will share an in-depth story of Finland, providing visitors with experiences and information to showcase the foundations upon which Finland&amp;rsquo;s happiness is built. This will include continuous development and innovation, sustainable and environmentally-friendly solutions and extensive international cooperation.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Under the central theme of &amp;lsquo;Sharing Future Happiness&amp;rsquo; and sub-themes of circular economy, sustainability and innovation, our Snow Cape pavilion will present the pillars of Finnish happiness by highlighting the symbiosis of people, pure nature and technology. Visitors will be taken on a journey through Finland&amp;rsquo;s key strengths: education and know-how, functionality and well-being, and nature and sustainability.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;The Snow Cape pavilion will serve as a unique platform for business and cultural connections between the UAE and Finland. Over the course of six months, the pavilion will host events by partner companies and industry leaders. Several thematic days, VIP events and special celebrations, such as Finland&amp;rsquo;s National Day and Christmas with Santa Claus all the way from Lapland, will take place. In addition, we will be working with other Nordic pavilions to promote the international conversation surrounding circular economy solutions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Finland, in collaboration with over 100 Finnish companies, will participate in Expo 2020 Dubai. Finland is one of the leading countries in terms of innovation and technology know-how. The Finnish pavilion presents globally leading clean technologies, a circular economy with sustainable use of resources, sustainable energy and digital solutions, mobile communications, machinery, education, health and well-being, travel and Finnish design.&lt;/p&gt;

Finland Pavilion: Sharing Future Happiness

&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;The COVID-19 pandemic changed how we view our surroundings. Microbes can be spread just because people touched the same object. The company Nanoksi Finland has developed an innovative sprayable solution which uses photocatalysis &amp;ndash; where light increases a chemical process &amp;ndash; which can kill 98% of microbes within two hours.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The technology is very versatile,&amp;rdquo; explains Nanoksi Finland CEO &lt;strong&gt;Pasi Kein&amp;auml;nen&lt;/strong&gt;. &amp;ldquo;We have used it on glass, screens, plastic, wood, metal, ceramic and textiles, for example.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;The invention was impressive enough to beat 106 other entries in the Aviation X Lab Accelerate Traveller Wellbeing Challenge, which was awarded by Dubai Future Foundation and Emirates Airlines.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tested by Emirates&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Emirates tested the solution in different areas, such as first-class limousines, baby strollers and biometric boarding gates. The results were impressive: for example, the ATP measurement of organic dirt on transit busses fell from 2,113 pre-coating to 51 a month after. Emirates is beginning to use Nanoksi&amp;rsquo;s solution in their limousines, busses and lounges at Dubai International Airport. However, the solution has already been widely deployed in other countries.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;We have applied it in over 2,000 projects, including shopping centres, offices and in partnership with manufacturers of consumer products,&amp;rdquo; Kein&amp;auml;nen continues. &amp;ldquo;We&amp;rsquo;re really excited about our solution&amp;rsquo;s possibilities in aviation. It could make flying much safer for passengers and crew.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;The coating, called FOTONIT&amp;reg;, destroys pathogenic viruses, bacteria, yeasts and moulds. It is working constantly, so surfaces remain hygienic even between cleanings. The coating is invisible, flexible and porous. FOTONIT&amp;reg; is also highly durable: even high-use surfaces only need an annual reapplication. Additionally, it is easy and fast to apply. For example, four buses can be treated in one hour.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Novel solution powered by light&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;There are other photocatalysis ideas in the market, but Nanoksi Finland uses a unique titanium dioxide solution. While other systems might need direct ultraviolet light, Nanoksi Finland&amp;rsquo;s can use a greater variety of light in the spectrum. In effect, the nanoparticles have &amp;ldquo;antennas&amp;rdquo; which allow them to pick up and use a wider range of light.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Another important thing about our process is that it doesn&amp;rsquo;t use chemicals which could be harmful for human health or the environment,&amp;rdquo; says Kein&amp;auml;nen.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;The technology was developed in Tampere University and was spun-off to undergo further development and commercialisation. The company directs the entire value chain from R&amp;amp;D to manufacturing to deployment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Saving lives&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Nanoksi is expanding their product portfolio and are growing rapidly. Everyone hopes that the COVID-19 pandemic will soon come to an end, but Kein&amp;auml;nen points out that we can&amp;rsquo;t lower our guard.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;There are more pathogens than just the coronavirus. Think of hospital acquired infections, for example,&amp;rdquo; he says. &amp;ldquo;We believe that with our solutions we can help save not only enormous financial costs, but more importantly thousands of lives.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;If you would like to learn more about FOTONIT&amp;reg;, come see Nanoksi Finland at the Dubai Expo or visit &lt;strong&gt;nanoksi.com.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Protection by light at a nano level

&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&quot;It is an emotional moment for a patient to stand for the first time after years in a wheelchair,&amp;rdquo; says SAMK project researcher &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Taina Jyr&amp;auml;koski&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. &amp;ldquo;They are so happy to stand upright while wearing the exoskeleton.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;The exoskeleton is at the campus of the Satakunta University of Applied Sciences (SAMK) in Pori, Finland. SAMK is an international, multi-disciplinary institute of higher education. They believe in cutting-edge research combined with a multidisciplinary focus, like what they are doing with the exoskeleton.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The exoskeleton is a device the patient wears so they can walk,&amp;rdquo; Jyr&amp;auml;koski explains. &amp;ldquo;It has motors in the hips and knees, so patients can walk even if the legs are paralysed. We don&amp;rsquo;t do the rehabilitation ourselves, but we help get the evidence that it is beneficial.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4 class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Help wanted: technology therapist&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Exoskeletons are commercially available, but they are still an unusual device which you won&amp;rsquo;t find at every therapist office. SAMK wanted to conduct hard science on exoskeletons in a collaborative model. This brings a variety of specialties to the table.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;We conduct exoskeleton research with a diverse group of partners, such as teachers, researchers, students and physiotherapy clinics,&amp;rdquo; explains Sari Meri-&lt;br /&gt;lampi, principal lecturer at SAMK. &amp;ldquo;We have experts at automation, healthtech, data analytics and a variety of disciplines. We are even working internationally, like with a research group in Italy.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Many physiotherapy clinics and hospitals might be unable to make a large investment in an exoskeleton, but they have been invited to share SAMK&amp;rsquo;s model. Students get the rare chance to study an innovative device first-hand. The researchers get to be one of the very first to conduct serious studies on exoskeletons.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;This is pioneering work. The world is a small place when it comes to a new field of research like exoskeletons,&amp;rdquo; Merilampi says. &amp;ldquo;This is particularly good for the students who get to use such a novel technology. We are creating an entirely new career path as a technology therapist.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4 class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Multi-professional environment&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Some of their research includes measurement technology, patient benefits and therapist benefits. The traditional way for a therapist to help rehabilitate a patient relies heavily upon brute force. The therapist must physically help the patient move their legs. This can be demanding, even if the patient is supported.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;A patient can only take as many steps as a therapist can help them take,&amp;rdquo; Jyr&amp;auml;koski says. &amp;ldquo;But the therapist doesn&amp;rsquo;t have to work as hard when the exoskeleton is doing the mechanical labour. She oversees the process and makes necessary adjustments to give the most benefits to the patient.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;Exoskeletons in rehabilitation are still rare, and SAMK is happy to bring in so many specialists to experience it in a multi-professional environment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-8&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;It is great that all these experts can use these newest solutions, which is beneficial to all stakeholders,&amp;rdquo; says Merilampi. &amp;ldquo;We work and learn together. It is a tough job, but we aren&amp;rsquo;t afraid of challenges.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
