Timing is everything. The local energy tehcnology
industry is producing high-tech products, such as
diesel and electric engines, frequency converters,
power distribution systems and wind power appli-
cations. The export numbers have been increasing
several years in a row and a large number of these
products is best suited for air freight due to their
size, weight and value. Similarly, a substantial part
of basic components and raw materials has to be
imported to the region.
The region´s energy industry employs about 12.000
people and the overall turnover is about 7.5 billion
Euros (which includes global turnover of some of
the companies).
The local economical activity is refl ected in the
steady growth of passengers using Vaasa Airport.
Vaasa is Finland´s fi fth busiest airport (343.395
passengers in 2008) and for freight, Vaasa ranks
second after Helsinki.
