Why is cleantech significant to the Finnish economy and what are the global business opportunities? Presentation at the Cleantech Solutions research program final seminar on 28 February 2014.
7. GROWTH DRIVERS
Industriali-
zation
• Developing economies face
consequences of outsourcing
Urbanization
• Traffic congestion, air & water pollution,
heating, waste problems need to be
solved
Regulation
• Tighter regulation opens up
opportunities for European companies
8. CASE: CHINA
Major environmental problems
Ambitious emission reduction targets + big
budgets
Beautiful Beijing – platform for Finnish-Chinese
cleantech collaboration
• Energy production & distribution
• Buildings & construction
• Traffic & transportation
• Industry
• Air quality monitoring & analysis

10. BEIJING TARGETS
Chinese Central Government will invest in air quality
improvement about 1 trillion RMB (125 billion EUR) by 2020
Beijing has the numerical target to reduce emissions by 2 %
(SO2, Nox, COD, NH3-N) and used 760 million EUR for energy
efficiency and environmental protection just in 2013
For example coal boilers of 44 000 old residences and all coal
boilers in central area residence will be replaced
Beijing has decided to cut coal consumption from 23.3 million
tons in 2012 to 15 million tons (- 35 %) in 2015

13. Finland has a harsh climate with
extreme temperature variations and
no natural fossil fuels of its own.
We have had no choice but to
develop efficient methods and
alternative energy sources.
It’s cold (and hot) out here
14. It wasn’t
always this
clean here
Finland is rich in natural resources, such as forests, lakes
and minerals. In the past we have had problems,
including water pollution and low air quality.
With persistent long-term efforts and public-private-
sector collaboration we have succeeded in protecting our
nature – and building cutting-edge expertise in solving
environmental problems.

16. We invest heavily in
cleantech
Despite its small size as a country, Finland is
a cleantech superpower.
Finland’s share of the global GDP is
approximately 0.4 %, but our share of the
global cleantech market is over 1 %.
More than than 1/3 of Finnish public R&D
investments are made in cleantech.
