A place where everything is possible.
Together with the businesses in the Jakobstad region and the five municipalities that jointly own Concordia, we create vitality, development and growth. We protect the region’s interests at different levels, publish regional statistics, conduct studies, and keep track of our region’s state and development. Idea generation, co-operation and networking are important elements in the way we do things.
In order to continue developing as a region, we need external impulses. We have both national and international contacts. Concordia’s projects produce development funds for the entire region and create conditions and a fertile ground for a thriving, attractive, and competitive region. What’s more, we think as one. What benefits the region, benefits us all.
Maybe your idea is the next step in our regional development?
