Project in a nutshell: The aim of the participating cities is to become carbon neutral between 2029 and 2035. The project supports development of industrial areas and their groups of companies into world-class low-carbon and resource-wise actors. In Turku, the aim is to build the Blue Industry Park into a carbon neutral, world-class production and innovation cluster for the maritime and manufacturing industries. Turku Science Park Ltd. focuses on developing the concept by concrete measures. The intention is to find common ground and a practical way of working together for the site operator and all the companies working in the Blue Industry Park area as well as the City of Turku.
