Vaasa has strengthened the partner network of the Gigafactory project.  Considering the battery production the very central producers of raw materials, Keliber and Norilsk Nickel Harjavalta are participating in the network coalition that’s being built around the project.

Two weeks ago, the City of Vaasa informed that they will be applying for Gigafactory, Tesla’s gigantic lithium ion battery production factory. Among the first partners in the project are some who offer world class competence about the important raw materials, lithium and nickel, which are needed in the batteries for electric cars.
