Kanta-Häme Region´s central logistical location in Southern Finland creates good preconditions for built-environment businesses and services. Special themes include sustainability, ecological construction, and landscaping combined with new sustainable energies and steel construction. Opportunities brought by digitalization both in urban and rural areas create new service possibilities. New types of living and intelligent transport solutions also have international demand. It is important to respond quickly to possible new needs in emerging industries. Promotion of new business activities, enterprises, products, and services (EDP) is vital. User-driven development requires trust as well as genuine, open, and appreciative cooperation. It is imperative to strengthen already strong emerging industries, increase entrepreneurship, and facilitate international competitiveness.
