Strategy of Central Finland 2050:

We nourish our roots

People have always arrived in Central Finland from different directions. Central Finland is indeed a mosaic of dozens of local cultures and identities. That is why our story is a story of interaction. 

We strengthen the operating environment for culture in Central Finland

We are proud to be from Central Finland. We build and tell a shared story and highlight the unique gems of our region. Our cultural heritage lives on in both intangible and physical form. Its best bits can be seen and felt in our UNESCO sites, Alvar Aalto’s architecture, hundreds of summer events and thousands of saunas. 

We promote an active and sustainable lifestyle

The lifestyle of Central Finland is active and sustainable. Through our work across the region, we ensure that every resident and newcomer has the opportunity to take up this way of life. 

We invest in internationality

The Central Finland of the future will be more international than today. We are committed to making new residents of Central Finland feel welcome. Here, diversity is seen as an asset, because cohesion and vitality can only be based on everyone’s inclusion. At the heart of it all is room to grow and interact.
