3 The city of Vaasa and the Vaasa region The Vaasa region is one of the most dynamic, competitive and fastest growing urban regions in the country. It is among the top cities in its size range in terms of population growth and the growing number of jobs. This is proven by comparison studies of Finnish urban areas, as well as studies on regional vitality and competitiveness. The number one reason for the growth is the region s energy cluster, which includes 140 energy companies. They employ 10,000 people, 1,000 of whom work in research and development. These companies invest about MEUR 158 in R&D annually, with a growth of almost MEUR 95 between This is a growth rate second only to the Helsinki sub-region. 3

4 The city of Vaasa and the Vaasa region The energy cluster s exports amount to approximately 3.5 billion euros. This is a third of the whole country s energy technology exports. The energy cluster s success is evident in the figures. Vaasa is the only city that has managed to significantly increase its number of manufacturing jobs over the last few years. Between , the number of manufacturing jobs increased by more than 1,200. There has also been significant growth in the number of jobs in other fields, with about 4,700 new jobs created between

5 The city of Vaasa and the Vaasa region The region s population has grown by almost 9,000 residents since The growth is evident particularly in the number of children and young adults. The number of year-olds has increased by more than 3,000 and that of 0 6-year-olds by more than 1,200 in the last ten years. Birth rate has long been high in the region you might even call it a baby boom. The number of children and young adults has been predicted to continue to shoot up. The Vaasa region is one of the most international in the country. This is due to our export companies, international universities and the more than 120 nationalities living here. 5

6 Happy people The region s employment situation is among the best in the country and has been for the last 10 years High income levels and affordable housing Commutes average just 30 minutes, the airport provides easy access abroad High life expectancy Low morbidity The only natural UNESCO World Heritage Site in Finland One of the most international regions in Finland Unemployment rate (%) Unemployment rate by sub-region 5/2017 6

8 Vaasa and its neighbouring regions are growing rapidly Some 530,000 people live within a radius of 120 km of Vaasa. The region has about 55,500 university students. The population of the region s cities, towns and municipalities increased by more than 30,000 residents between and the number of jobs by over 14,000 between Although the region s towns are only medium-sized, there are many of them in relatively close proximity, making this larger area an important region both locally and nationally. In fact, if it had a single centre it would be the second largest region in Finland in terms of population after the Helsinki region. It would be the fastest growing region in the country in terms of jobs and the fourth fastest growing in terms of population. 8

10 Vaasa is number one in the comparison research of Finnish cities Vaasa Regional Profiles in Finland in 2016 Regional Profiles 2016 information package includes information about regional development from mid-1990s strong growth years to the financial crisis, and afterwards to the years of sluggish economy all the way to The publication consists of analysis of national development, region-, and sub-region statistics and focal points of development. In the research done by consulting firm MDI, Vaasa was placed the best area even on top of Helsinki and Turku.

11 The most competitive region in the country Regional competitiveness in Finland in 2015 The study examined the competitiveness of all 70 Finnish sub-regions in 2015 using six variables as indicators. The variables were labour productivity, employment rate, innovativeness, level of education, entrepreneurial dynamics and industry intensiveness. The Vaasa sub-region was number one and its strengths include innovativeness, labour productivity, employment rate and level of education.

12 One of the most dynamic cities in the country Comparison study of the vitality of towns and cities between The study compared the vitality of 26 of the largest cities in Finland using 5 themes and 40 variables. Relative vitality shows which cities have been best able to improve their position and competitiveness. These are Seinäjoki, Vaasa and Kokkola. A good ranking in absolute vitality is founded on long-term positive development, especially in regional economy, jobs, know-how and attractiveness. In absolute vitality, Vaasa ranks 4th in the country after Espoo, Vantaa and Helsinki. If we add up the excellent rankings Vaasa has achieved in both absolute and relative vitality, it is the most dynamic city in Finland!

13 Like the city, the Vaasa subregion ranks high in the vitality index The Vaasa sub-region stands out (together with Porvoo and Mariehamn) as the second most vital sub-region after Helsinki. The most vital areas are centred along the Helsinki Vaasa growth corridor. In nine out of ten variables, the Vaasa region ranked among the best 20%. 13

14 Like the city, the Vaasa sub-region ranks high in the vitality index VITALITY INDEX FOR THE FINNISH SUB-REGIONS The index contains structural indicators that describe the vitality of 10 regions. All the 70 regions have been divided into five fifths based on the average of 10 indicators. Each region has been further ranked by adding up the value points of the 10 indicators. For each variable, a region may receive 1 70 points (1 = the best value and 70 = the weakest value). The indicators are: GDP per capita (2013) GEP-deviation indicator (2013) Indicator for educational structure (2014) Employment rate, % (2014) Unemployment rate, % (2014) Income earners median income (2014) Dependency ratio (2014) Total municipal and corporation tax revenues, euros per capita (2014) Total net migration per 1,000 ( ) Research and development expenditure, euros per capita (2014) The best 20% The second best 20% The third best 20% The second weakest 20% The weakest 20% Source: Seutukuntien elinvoimaindeksi (The Vitality Index of Finnish Sub-regions), Timo Aro (2016) 14
