This workshop on Wasa Future Festival is arranged by the project Ports as Innovation Platforms for Clean Transition, led by the Port of Vaasa, in cooperation with VAMK and VASEK.

The aim of the workshop is to continue the innovation and planning work related to the development of the port center and passenger terminal, with a deeper focus on the themes of PortGrid, Seamless Port, and Port Center. The session supports the co-creation model and the process of transforming ideas into more concrete actions within the port ecosystem.

The project has previously arranged two innovation workshops based on innovation opportunities related to a new port terminal and center. The first workshop brought together a broad cross‑sector group of stakeholders, and the second workshop deepened this by drawing on the research and expert knowledge of higher education institutions. The focus on co‑creation has genuinely opened up the development process to multiple stakeholder groups and enabled their participation.

The workshop is held in Finnish; all material is in English.
