The project creates new, stronger business networks within and between regions in the Kaustinen region and Sydänsuomi-region. The project also develops municipal business services in a new operating environment shaped by large energy projects, which especially emphasizes the renewal and change capabilities of companies in rural areas and the implementation of related networking services as part of the area's business services. The project spreads the digital networking platform suurhanketoimisto.fi, which can be used to help create new vertical and horizontal business networks between local, interregional and international companies. The pre-assessment of the regional economic effects task gives the region's developers a research-based view of the regions' strengths and areas for development, as well as the direct, indirect and derivative effects on different industries, municipalities and employment.
