Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment
In Finland, most of the business funding duties and duties related to structural funds carried out by the centres for economic development, transport and the environment have been assigned to four regional centres of economic development, transport and the environment. In Western Finland, these duties are handled by the Central Finland Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment. Although administration is handled centrally, all the centres for economic development, transport and the environment still have experts in these matters. Don’t hesitate to contact an expert in your area. You will find the contact information in the menu below.
The personnel’s email addresses are in the format [email protected] (ä=a, ö=o).
