TIF participates in UN Climate Change Conference 

Technology Industries of Finland will participate in the UN Climate Change Conference, COP-28, at the turn of November and December and will be present in Finland's first own pavilion at the Climate Change Conference. The aim is to showcase Finland's new low-carbon technology solutions and the role of Finnish companies in solving climate challenges.

 The UN climate conference COP-28 will take place from 30 November to 12 December in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. COP is the biggest international environmental event of the year, and this year one of the key topics is the five-year review of the Paris Agreement. For the first time, Finland will have its own pavilion at the COP Blue Zone, where 60 000-80 000 accredited visitors are expected. 

The aim of the Technology Industries of Finland (TIF) is to make Finnish ambitious climate goals and solutions globally visible and to make Finland an attractive investment destination. The theme is We do good – Net positive corporate responsibility, which will be on display in the Finnish pavilion and in a panel discussion on Saturday 2 December. Prime Minister Petteri Orpo will give the opening speech. In addition to Technology Industries of Finland, the panel includes its member companies KONE, SSAB and Outokumpu, as well as a representative of the Finnish Hydrogen Cluster, and several Finnish technology companies are prominently involved in the climate conference. 

– Our themes and panels will highlight the Finnish technology industry’s ambitious and low-carbon solutions that will enable Finland’s economy to grow sustainably and meet its climate targets by 2035. We will show that Finland is among the first countries globally to achieve this goal and highlight how we are promoting the goal through cooperation between the private and public sectors and civil society, says Annukka Saari, Head of Climate and Energy, Technology Industries of Finland. 

Technology Industries of Finland, industry companies and the Finnish Hydrogen Cluster will present solutions related to new key technologies and the electrification of industrial processes, which is one of the most important ways to achieve carbon neutrality. 

– Finland has all the prerequisites to act as a pioneer and international partner in clean energy, responsible business, and climate footprint. And our message in Dubai is that Finland’s low-carbon solutions also improve the conditions for human well-being. This includes social responsibility, such as promoting equality and diversity, as a very important element. In this way, long-term, sustainable solutions will be made globally, says Saari.
