Invest in Future Electrification Increases Demand for Technology Metals

Satakunta Technology Metal Cluster meets the challenge of electrification.

INVEST IN FUTURE ELECTRIFICATION INCREASES DEMAND FOR TECHNOLOGY METALS

Climate change and digitalisation accelerate the electrification of the civilisation. New applications for transport, energy production, energy storage and electronics are based on technology metals. Modern batteries, electronics, conductors and electric motors require copper, nickel, cobalt, gold, silver and rare earth metals. Satakunta region is home to Finland’s most important cluster of technology metals, metal chemicals and products. It provides an excellent platform for new business.
