Regional Office for Networking and Innovations

Regional Office for Networking and Innovations connects big investment projects with the local companies and business networks of Sydänsuomessa and Kaustinen regions. The digital Suurhanketoimisto.fi service developed by and together with Kaustinen Region is now open to the companies of Sydänsuomessa region. The Suurhanketoimisto.fi service is brought to you by Interregional change and growth program: business networks and services as an engine of vitality and effective change -project.

The goal of the Regional Office for Networking and Innovations is to facilitate local companies’ participation in the subcontracting networks of major investment projects such as wind and solar power plants. The networking service brings together companies interested in participating in the networks and subcontracting chains of major project operators.

The need for this service arose when development companies and municipal economic developers were asked for information about local companies, and this information needed to be easily accessible to the major project operators. It is excellent that the Suurhanketoimisto.fi service is now available to companies in the Sydänsuomi area.

The Regional Office for Networking and Innovations facilitates the inclusion of local companies in the subcontracting networks of major projects.

The service brings together actors from different fields across municipal and regional boundaries, and the service is also available and promoted to major project operators. The Regional Office for Networking and Innovations lists companies operating in the Kaustinen region and the Heart of Finland area that are interested in participating in major projects. The service also includes news, links, and direct requests for proposals related to major projects. Therefore, companies are encouraged to create their profiles on the service and follow the page regularly!

It’s easy. Go to suurhanketoimisto.fi/yritykset/register and sign up. The service is also available in English. All you need for registration is an email address and a phone number. You can browse the companies and accommodation listings registered on the service even without registering.

Showcase your accommodation services on Suurhanketoimisto

Due to the growing demand for accommodation services, private individuals can now also offer their accommodations on Suurhanketoimisto.fi. Entrepreneurs can distinguish themselves from private individuals with a broader range of services, such as breakfast and restaurant services. For those searching for information, it is clearly indicated at the beginning of the listing whether the accommodation provider is a business or a private individual, as many B2B companies may require dealing exclusively with other businesses.
