kehitysyhtiö

Kehitysyhtiö is a Finnish term that translates to "development company" or "growth company." In Finland, these entities are often established with the purpose of promoting regional economic development and supporting the growth of businesses within a specific geographical area or sector. They can be privately owned, publicly funded, or a combination of both.

The primary goals of a kehitysyhtiö typically include attracting new businesses, fostering innovation, creating employment opportunities, and enhancing the competitiveness of the local economy. They often provide a range of services to businesses, such as business consulting, access to funding, networking opportunities, and support in areas like internationalization and market research.

Kehitysyhtiö can play a crucial role in revitalizing declining regions or developing emerging industries. They act as catalysts for economic activity, bridging the gap between public sector initiatives and private enterprise. Their operations are usually guided by strategic plans that align with broader regional development objectives and the specific needs of the business community they serve.
