The aim of the Heavy High Teach regional development programme is to further strengthen the industrial expertise, the competitiveness of industrial services and the development environment within the Kemi-Tornio region. The business-oriented development strategy being promoted under the name ‘Heavy High Tech from Lapland' has been jointly created, updated and implemented by companies and actors through co-operation established in 2007. The founding idea behind the strategy can be summed up as follows: "By innovatively combining the diverse industrial and arctic expertise in our region with new technology for cross-border intelligent industrial solutions, we will achieve added value and a solid future for industrial companies both in Lapland and around the world".

  • Cold Climate Industrial Applications (KITS)

The aim of the project is to outline the Digipolis activities in terms of low-temperature and winter technologies. The project involves the preparation of a low-temperature and winter technology strategy for the use of actors working within Digipolis. The strategy focuses on the needs of the process, energy and mining industries. Additionally, the needs of automotive testing companies will be taken into consideration. The strategy will be based, as much as is possible, on the tangible low-temperature and winter problems and needs of companies. The strategic emphases are expected to give rise to company-specific development projects, which will be implemented through separate funding. The developmental focal points presumably lie at the intersections of actual company needs and the technological competence of the Digipolis area.
