The Cleantech Kvarken project aims at strengthening the preconditions for small and medium sized enterprises in the clean-tech sector to do business on the regional, national and international markets. This is done by establishing cross-border cooperation between cities, municipalities and publicly owned companies, increasing the cooperation between the cleantech companies in the regions, executing joint export initiatives to markets both inside and outside the Nordic countries as well as attracting investments and establishment of new companies to the regions.
