Hidden treasures for food and beverage manufacturing

Finns have a creative mind, and we often find unconventional solutions for the needs of tomorrow. For example, successful start-ups are creating new plant-based products and exploring the usage of insects in food production. Even grain grows here a bit differently. Short but intensive summer with light nights means high enzyme activity in malting barley used in scotch and beer. The highest quality oats with large grain sizes are used in many food products as an alternative to meat. And even the cold climate works for us – fewer pesticides are needed in cultivation.

Even though the Helsinki Ring of Industry region is located just outside the capital area of Finland, all the treasures of nature are close. As the most forested country in Europe, Finland has unique forest berries and mushrooms, and they are easy to transport even from the North. These treasures are linked to many health benefits as the arctic climate leads to a uniquely high concentration of flavonoids and polyphenols. Besides that, we have great amounts of clean groundwater to use.

All the infrastructure you need to start production or investment in the region is near. In Finland, food and beverage production is highly regulated; otherwise it would not be so respected. The good news is that here the authorities are for you, not the other way around.
