Goals and results
Each of the programme’s measure aims to promote the development of skills and solutions in businesses to solve the challenges posed by climate change, biodiversity losses, and urbanisation in Finland and the international markets. The Sustainable Growth Programme for the Transport Sector encourages closer cooperation between private and public sector actors. The aim of the programme is to create international business ecosystems and 10,000 new jobs in the Finnish transport sector by 2025.
Starting points
The transport sector is undergoing significant changes, the key drivers of which include urbanisation, emission reduction targets, innovations and technological development in the sector, as well as companies’ business opportunities in global markets.
Additional information
The programme consists of a shared target state and vision up until 2030. It describes the expertise and operational environment, determines the measures to be taken in the coming years, and lays out a framework for the programme's implementation and monitoring.
The programme includes ten strategic measures under the following three headings: I Operational environment for sustainable growth
II Scalable sustainable solutions for export markets
III Continuing ecosystem-oriented cooperation
Through all these measures, the programme aims, in an orderly manner, to develop expertise and collaboration within the sector and, by means of ecosystem-oriented work, to reach potential benefits. The principal toolbox consists of a wide variety of tools offered by digitalisation, fossil-free fuels for all movement and transport, and various cross-sectoral innovative products and services.
The recently published sustainable growth programme promotes business-driven innovation, internationalisation, and growth based on sustainable solutions in the transport sector. Representatives from various ministries, cities, agencies, research institutes, and businesses have participated in the steering group preparing the programme. A steering group has been set up to monitor the implementation of the Sustainable Growth Programme in the Transport Sector, with representatives from central government, local governments, businesses, and the research sector. The steering group will monitor the progress of the measures described in the programme and decide on any new complementary measures.
