At Sweco, data and analytics are essential and practical tools that help our clients design, build and\u00a0operate\u00a0projects more effectively and efficiently. This is reflected both in Sweco Group\u2019s recent Data & Analytics (D&A) maturity assessment and in our everyday project work<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Finland consistently ranks among the world\u2019s top performers in data driven capabilities. In the Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI), Finland is regularly placed among the leading EU countries for digital skills. This strong position is further reinforced by global rankings such as the IMD Digital Competitiveness Index, where Finland ranks among the top countries for digital knowledge and technology adoption \u2014 highlighting the country\u2019s advanced capabilities in data and analytics.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Building on this strong national digital foundation, Sweco in Finland has made long-term, focused investments in data platforms, aligned technical solutions and a strong data driven culture. Together, these factors have enabled Sweco Finland to achieve an exceptional \u202f<\/span>5.3\u00a0out of 6<\/span><\/b>\u202fin\u00a0Sweco\u2019s\u00a0internal D&A Maturity Index, placing us firmly in the\u202f<\/span>fully mature<\/span><\/b>\u202fcategory.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

From strong data culture to practical AI<\/h2>\n

Our long-term investments in high-quality data, robust platforms and clear data ownership provide\u00a0a strong foundation\u00a0for practical and responsible use of AI. Because AI is only as effective as the data behind it, our mature data driven culture enables better decision making, automation and new insights across the entire project lifecycle.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Turning data into real value for our clients<\/h2>\n

By turning data into practical, easy<\/span>\u2011to<\/span>\u2011use solutions, we help our clients plan,\u00a0build\u00a0and\u00a0operate\u00a0projects more efficiently, with better control over cost,\u00a0risk\u00a0and sustainability. Our data<\/span>\u2011driven approach supports the full project lifecycle\u00a0\u2014\u00a0from early design to construction and operations.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Projects where data and analytics played a big role<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Ruskeasuo depot, Helsinki
    \n<\/strong>A data-model-based carbon footprint calculation<\/a>\u00a0was used to guide design decisions from an early stage. This allowed the project team to compare alternatives and choose solutions with a lower environmental impact \u2014 turning sustainability goals into measurable outcomes.<\/li>\n
  2. Fineweld at a major battery manufacturing site
    \n<\/strong>Using\u00a0    SmartDrawings,<\/a>\u00a0Fineweld\u00a0improved access to up-to-date design and site information directly on location. This reduced errors, supported smoother\u00a0execution\u00a0and improved communication between teams.<\/li>\n
  3. Confederation of Finnish Industries<\/strong>
    \nStrategic regional economic modelling supported the acceleration of the national green transition in Finland. Sweco carried out an\u00a0    analysis for the Confederation of Finnish Industries<\/a>, which shows that Finland has strong potential for an annual \u20ac3 billion increase in GDP \u2014\u00a0 provided that the investment environment for green transition projects is maintained and strengthened.<\/li>\n
  4. Port of Helsinki \u2013 West project<\/strong>
    \nSweco supports the Port of Helsinki\u2019s West Harbour project with project and procurement planning, design management, schedule and cost control, site supervision, safety coordination, and digital situational awareness. The integrated system connects tools like Congrid,\u00a0Sokopro,\u00a0Ramrisk, Scudo Pro, and Microsoft platforms, enabling a data-driven approach and faster, more transparent decision-making across the project.\u00a0    Read more here.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    As we continue to\u00a0develop these technologies, our focus\u00a0remains\u00a0clear:\u00a0Turning data into practical value for our clients and supporting better\u00a0projects.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
