1) Cleantech refers to technologies, services, and solutions that help reduce environmental impacts, save energy and resources, and improve living environments.
2) Finland has developed strong cleantech expertise due to its harsh climate and lack of fossil fuels, and cleantech now represents over 1% of Finland's GDP.
3) Key Finnish cleantech strengths include a culture of innovation, high-level technology expertise, a focus on quality and reliability, and experience solving environmental challenges.
4. CLEANTECH =
technology, services, solutions,
process innovations or products, that
• help reduce the environmental
load caused by human activity
• save energy and natural resources
• improve the living environment
5. Energy and material
efficiency
Industry consumes 40 % of total
world electricity. Finland is among
the most efficient countries in the
industrial sector.
Company fact: Outotec’s flash smelting solutions
help to avoid 2.0 million tons of carbon dioxide
emissions annually in global metal production.
6. Built environment
The operation of buildings accounts
for 40 % of the world’s energy
consumption. (UNEP)
Company fact: Kone elevators and escalators help
to considerably reduce energy consumption in tall
buildings.
7. Bioenergy
and biofuels
In 2012 23 % of
total energy
consumption in
Finland was from
wood-based fuels.
(Finnish Forest
Industries)
Company fact:
Metso delivered
the world’s largest
biomass
gasification plant
to Vaskiluodon
Voima in Vaasa
8. Water treatment
and purification
The growing global population and
scarcity of resources create a
greater need to produce more with
less water.
Company fact: Kemira provides expertise and
tailored combinations of chemicals for water-
intensive industries.

INVESTMENTS IN AN
ENORMOUS SCALE
Russia: energy efficiency, waste
management
China: energy efficiency, reduction
of greenhouse gases, carbon
emissions, pollution
India: solar, bioenergy
21. Finland has a harsh climate with
extreme temperature variations and
no natural fossil fuels of its own.
We have had no choice but to
develop efficient methods and
alternative energy sources.
It’s cold (and hot) out here
22. It wasn’t
always this
clean here
Finland is rich in natural resources, such as forests, lakes
and minerals. In the past we have had problems,
including water pollution and low air quality.
With persistent long-term efforts and public-private-
sector collaboration we have succeeded in protecting our
nature – and building cutting-edge expertise in solving
environmental problems.
23. We invest heavily in
cleantech
Despite its small size as a country, Finland is
a cleantech superpower.
Finland’s share of the global GDP is
approximately 0.4 %, but our share of the
global cleantech market is over 1 %.
More than than 1/3 of Finnish public R&D
investments are made in cleantech.
