Nordic Battery Belt Logistics project arranged its final conference together with the electric aviation project FAIR in Skellefte\u00e5 on September 20<\/span>th<\/span>\u201321<\/span>st<\/span>. During the first conference day, a panel discussion with the theme <\/span>Stronger together<\/span><\/i> was arranged.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Moderator <\/span>Nora Birkman Neunstedt<\/span><\/b> from Kokkola Regional Development Company KOSEK asked each participant to describe what\u2019s happening in their cities regarding the battery industry. <\/span>Anja Palm<\/span><\/b>, Head of Trade and Business Development at Skellefte\u00e5 Municipality, described that Northvolt already has its first two factory lines up and running in Skellefte\u00e5. Northvolt is affecting the whole city of Skellefte\u00e5.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 This green transformation is unique. We have taken a big leap of development in only a few years\u2019 time, Palm said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Allan Berg<\/span><\/b>, Project Manager at Rana Utvikling, explained that the construction of Freyr\u2019s first two giga factories in Mo i Rana is ongoing. Freyr has also chosen Vaasa as the location for its battery cell factory. An environmental analysis is ongoing at the GigaVaasa area where the factory is planned to be built.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 We hope that we\u2019ll get an investment decision for GigaVaasa already during this year. We have several reservations for the GigaVaasa area but not all of them are public yet, <\/span>Riitta Bj\u00f6rkenheim<\/span><\/b>, Development Director at Vaasa Region Development Company VASEK, said.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Keliber has decided to invest in a lithium chemical plant in Kokkola and the company has now got their building permit.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 Kokkola is focusing to be number one in making battery chemicals in Finland, <\/span>Jonne Sandberg<\/span><\/b>, Development Director at City of Kokkola, said.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cooperation is needed<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

The word <\/span>cooperation<\/span><\/i> came up several times during the panel discussion.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 There\u2019s a lot happening in this region, and we have cooperation here for real. But the planning between the countries\u00a0<\/span>on a national level has to improve and it is easier to market a region together compared to only one single city or one single regional council. We have more to offer in a bigger geography, Mathias Lindstr\u00f6m<\/b>, the Kvarken Council\u2019s Director said. <\/span><\/p>\n

A big, joint labour market is needed in the Kvarken-Nordland region.\u00a0<\/span>Marketing and regional branding can be one way that can be used in order to attract people and needed work force to move here.<\/p>\n

\u2013 We need more people in this region and we can bring more people here if we succeed in making the region attractive. We need to cooperate even more according to this matter, Berg said.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 We must make people understand that we live in the best region in the world, Lindstr\u00f6m said.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Nordic Battery Belt Logistics project has produced a report in which the region\u2019s transport system has been analysed. Read the report <\/span>HERE<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
