Team Renewable Arctic Finland developing global business opportunities in offshore wind power<\/h1>\n

Offshore wind power is a globally attractive and trending solution during a time when the energy sector is undergoing major changes. Team Renewable Arctic Finland<\/a> is an innovation ecosystem that co-creates sustainable and profitable business operations around offshore wind power for the future.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The innovation ecosystem, consisting of 22\u202fFinnish companies, was founded at the beginning of 2021. The companies operate around the world and the Baltic Sea in the maritime industry, shipping, energy production, the offshore sector and infrastructure.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018The ecosystem\u2019s companies are united by their desire to co-create competitive and comprehensive solutions for the global offshore wind power market. The consortium promotes the worldwide shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy. The changes in the way energy is generated are inevitable, and Finnish expertise will be able to impact emission levels globally.<\/span><\/p>\n

The idea for the collaboration was sparked during discussions with the sector\u2019s businesses. Developing sustainable operations and consulting management at a strategic, tactical and operational level is what we do best. Supporting business operations that make the world a cleaner and safer place is a value judgment for us and the foundation for all our work.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the consortium companies is Suomen Hy\u00f6tytuuli Oy, a pioneering offshore wind power expert from Finland. The company constructed the country\u2019s first offshore wind farm in Tahkoluoto, Pori, in 2010. Working together provides credibility when competing against multinational giants.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018With the first wind farm, the so-called demo project, in 2016, Finns were unable to compete in the bidding, because alone the companies were too small and unaccustomed to carrying out such large-scale projects, particularly in cooperation,\u2019 says CEO Toni Sulameri<\/strong> from Hy\u00f6tytuuli. A functioning ecosystem is required in the sector. \u2018No one can build or fund these projects on their own.\u2019<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Global interest in Finnish solutions<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

In addition to its multidisciplinary nature, Team Renewable Arctic Finland\u2019s strengths include its technological and arctic expertise. Finnish companies are renowned for their skills in handling cold conditions. Close to 90\u202fper cent of Finland\u2019s exports and imports travel across the sea, even though all of our ports freeze over in the winter. If we could not facilitate wintertime sea transport our entire economy would grind to a halt.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gaia, now part of Sweco, gathered market data on projects, companies and competing solutions connected to offshore wind power. The ecosystem companies have formed concept creation groups that have innovated new product and service models for international businesses. We have been able to sit around the same table as global operators and present Finnish expertise and promising new ideas to them.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ecosystem members share a strong sense of cooperation and confidence that working together will be rewarding and profitable. We have already been able to create functional concepts that international companies are interested in. Running an ecosystem that has over 20\u202fmember companies requires boldness in making decisions actively. \u2018We are on a high and do not intend to sit back and rest on our laurels!<\/span><\/p>\n

Wind farms create green jobs<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

During the first year\u00a0 several workshops and seminars has held in Finland. These events have been used to discuss the opportunities and development requirements of offshore wind power with an extensive group of stakeholders and political decision-makers.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Offshore wind power is not only connected to Finnish energy and climate policies, but it also offers significant business and export opportunities on a global scale. It involves investments in the Baltic Sea region worth tens of billions of Euros. Creating a single offshore wind farm can include the construction and maintenance of 100\u202fturbines, resulting in lots of new green jobs.<\/span><\/p>\n

The business ecosystem\u2019s members have been satisfied with the results of their collaboration. \u2018The ecosystem has increased our mutual understanding of offshore wind power, in addition to which the government has begun to realise what the sector is about and what it could mean for Finland,\u2019 says Toni Sulameri.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The most important goal in 2022 will be to reach international clients and attend events and bilateral meetings. The companies are eagerly waiting to begin working on the global market and arranging business delegation visits after the pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n
