The regional programme seeks new thinking for regional and national regional development. The programme focuses on phenomena and themes that are important for the development of Northern Ostrobothnia. This aims to be flexible, proactive and quick to react to changes around us.

The new regional programme for Northern Ostrobothnia is a human-driven and time-of-change programme that makes change and its implementation visible through phenomena. The preparation aimed at a more goal-oriented and effective programme and highlighted the role of municipalities more strongly. 

The programme emphasises the importance of the region's international and national traction and traction power more strongly than before. Climate issues and the energy transition, accessibility, as well as the green and digital transitions will be at the core of the programme. Extensive joint preparation has ensured the commitment of the various stakeholders to the strategic orientations of the programme.
