Innovation Center
We are an energetic innovation platform in the energy and technology industry.
Innovative energy from synergy!
Energy Cluster North Savo promotes and supports the renewable energy industry, e.g. in terms of hydrogen economy, carbon dioxide recovery and the innovation of new energy storage systems through R&D innovation groups, stakeholders and cooperation networks.
The members and stakeholders of the cluster are respected innovative pioneers in their field, for whom sustainability and the pursuit of it are at the core of their operations.
On a practical level, we want to support and promote the development, piloting and commercialization of products, materials, services and production methods that promote the carbon neutrality of companies in a versatile way at different stages of the process, providing a functional platform for enabling development leaps in a cost-effective manner.
This regional Energy Research Center, unique even on a European scale, offers product development and testing as well as training services in the areas of energy production, transmission and distribution as well as energy storage.
Services
Energy Cluster North Savo acts as an innovation platform for the technology and energy sector. We want to be a pioneer in the field and support regional companies in the transition of the energy sector and in the goals of the green transition by offering measurement, testing, analysis and viewing services.

Innovation groups
Energy Cluster North Savo offers its members the opportunity to participate in the Innovation Groups, where we delve deeper into the topics of interest to members, receive information from visiting experts, and offer the latest research information easily available to members.
The topics of the Innovation Groups are selected according to the interest of the members, focusing on the latest energy technologies of the green transition as well as solving the challenges of the energy revolution. In the Innovation Groups, members get information of interesting presentations and are able to network with other members interested in the topic area and creating opportunities for collaboration.
The Innovation Groups’ themes focus on renewable energy sources; e.g. energy storage, carbon dioxide recovery and hydrogen . In the Innovation Groups, we delve into new future needs and innovations in the energy and technology sector. In addition to the events organized by the cluster, we actively inform about both national and international events related to the themes of the innovation groups.
We are at the forefront of development, join the group!
