The region's situational picture serves as a basis for regional development
Regional development discussions between the regions and the Government will take place in March 2025 . The regional development situation and development picture, which was prepared in late 2024, serves as a starting point for regional development discussions between the state and the regions. The Region Mayor presented on Wednesday 15 January 2025 the Northern Ostrobothnia Situational Picture Representatives of the Government. The themes were population development, unemployment, RDI expenditure, energy transition and accessibility.
The situation and development picture is a key part of the dialogue between the regions and the Government in regional development. The aim is that the situation – and the development picture work – will bring added value to all parties involved in the preparation and enable the regional synergies between actions in different administrative sectors to be examined. The situation and development picture is based on both quantitative statistical data and qualitative expert analyses, and it was developed together in cooperation with experts from the Regional Assembly of Finland and the Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment of Northern Ostrobothnia.
