New markets exists in areas, where energy consumption is rapidly increasing and energy infrusturcture is still lacking high potential in developing countries (1,2

Solar, wind, batteries, small scale hydro & bio with smart grid integration givetechnology advantage

We have technology and business know-how in several companies for this market We need to create Finnish clusters and find export markets together Public financed organisations can help

Research support by universities and VTT also new contacts for companies Opening doors to export markets by FinPro, Team Finland, Investment money for profitable Finnish export projects from Finfund

Private companies must finally take the lead to expand the businesses

FINNISH ENERGY KNOW-HOW TO BUSINESS - HOW

1) Renewable Energy World - Microgrids Seen as Answer for 620 Million Africans Without Power, November 16, 20152) IEA Indian Energy Outkook - Need for improved welfare and quality of life for Indias 1.3 billion people is huge first and foremost for the estimated 240 million that remain today without access to electricity.

NEW ENERGY TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH- activities all over the globe!

CASE Nanyang Technological University Singapore

integration of solar, wind, tidal-current, diesel, storage and power-to-gas technologies, and ensure these energy sources operate well together.
