Renewal and cooperation of businnesses
Funding for International Industrial Development Projects
The first open call for funding under JEWEL Eurocluster has selected collaborative projects that support industry’s transition towards net-zero emissions. These projects bring together the development needs of industrial companies and the expertise of technology providers across national borders.
The funded projects address areas such as energy-intensive industries, mobility, emission reduction technologies, energy storage, electricity grids and hydrogen. The first call has allocated funding to joint development projects aimed at making manufacturing more sustainable and competitive.
Investment and Regional Attractiveness
Presentation Materials for Promoting Investment in the Vaasa Region
The Invest in Vaasa concept development project has produced an English-language presentation showcasing the Vaasa region as an attractive location for businesses and investment.
The presentation highlights the region’s business networks, education and research expertise, transport connections, and opportunities for business and living. It also provides information on available business premises and sites, along with contact details for experts who can support companies considering establishing operations in the region.
The material can be used in international business meetings, investment promotion activities and presentations introducing the Vaasa region to potential partners.
Skills and education
New Training Models for the Hydrogen Sector
The H2Excellence project has launched an online learning platform for the hydrogen sector, bringing together online courses, learning materials and project results. The project has also organised train-the-trainer programmes on hydrogen and fuel cell technologies and piloted a hydrogen-focused micro-credential programme at the University of Málaga.
These results provide education and training providers with resources for developing hydrogen-related education, while offering professionals opportunities to expand their knowledge and skills.
raining Recommendations for the Battery Sector
The ALBATTS project developed a European battery sector skills strategy and roadmap, along with an education and training development plan. The project identified emerging job roles and future skills needs across the entire battery value chain, from raw materials and manufacturing to maintenance, second-life applications and recycling.
The results help companies anticipate future skills requirements and support education and training providers in developing programmes that respond to industry needs. The recommendations cover vocational education and training, higher education, lifelong learning and the professional development of teachers and trainers.
Showcasing Career Opportunities in the Battery Sector
The Future in Batteries video series, produced as part of the VOLTAGE project, showcases jobs and career paths in the battery sector across Europe. Industry professionals share insights into their work in areas such as battery production, quality control, and electric vehicle battery maintenance and repair. Finland is represented by Kokkolan Autohuolto.
The videos provide practical resources for education, career guidance and anyone interested in the sector. Information on relevant education and training opportunities is also available alongside the videos.
