Smart mobility and Arctic 12/22/2020 1
PART I: GENERAL INFORMATION 12/22/2020 2
Key points and main messages Finland has a long history and thorough understanding of delivering smart and environmentally friendly high-tech maritime solutions. Finland is developing the world s first autonomous maritime ecosystem One Sea in collaboration with both Finnish and international companies The ecosystem should be operational by 2025. Finland is a global leader in icebreaker design, polar shipbuilding, ice technology and fleet operation. With everything in a car becoming digitalized and connected, automotive industry is looking for new innovative solutions and technologies, providing the needed edge for tomorrow's vehicles. For decades now, global car manufacturers have pushed their vehicles to the limit in Finnish Lapland. Now many self-driving car companies come to Finland because of the good facilities and cold climate. Finland has introduced many solutions to mobility, including using the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and 5G. Finland can bring valuable know-how to partnerships in the mobility sectors and wants to work with international co-creators. How to portray Finland? Position Finland as having extensive technical know-how in mobility solutions. HighlightFinland s long experience with cold weather mobility. Profile Finland as the perfect place to develop cold weather mobility solutions for land, sea or air vehicles. 12/22/2020 3
Elevator pitch: Smart mobility and Arctic The transportation of goods and people is critical to how our modern society functions, yet our old methods are unsustainable. We need new, cleaner and smarter transportation solutions. Smart mobility can be the answer. One definition of smart mobility cited by the EU is using digital technologies to make transport and mobility smarter, safer and greener. Finland has a long history of developing maritime solutions. Today seaborn trade and transport is becoming more important for our interconnected world. Finland also has strengths in enabling technology, such as mobile communications, sensors, data analytics and AI. These help to enable smart mobility solutions. Smart mobility can reduce emissions, save time and improve safety. Finland is a Nordic country with cold-weather expertise. This includes developing icebreakers, oil spill cleaning in ice, and autonomous vehicles in snow. The combination of maritime experience, enabling technology and Arctic know-how has made Finland one of the most innovative places for smart mobility solutions in the world. Finland has also taken pole position in Europe for autonomous vehicle and winter testing. Many global companies have chosen Finland as the place to test self-driving cars in ice and snow and develop solutions for their cold weather use. Finland s expertise in autonomous vehicles also extends to the air and sea: Finnish companies provide innovative solutions to autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles and ships. Finland also has been a global forerunner in new mobility ideas, such as Mobility-as- a-Service (MaaS). With MaaS the customer pays for mobility, not for a bus ticket or car, for example. MaaS allows a traveler to plan, book and pay for multiple types of mobility services at once. Finland is searching for international partners in the maritime, autonomous vehicle and smart mobility sectors. 12/22/2020 4
Background 1/2 In 2018 Finland introduced new transport rules to encourage the development of a smart mobility ecosystem. This included deregulation, tax incentives and data- sharing mandates for public entities. One of the first wide scale applications of the Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) concept happened in Helsinki. MaaS is a service which allows a traveler to plan, book and pay for multiple types of mobility services at once. For example, it could include a bike to the metro station, a metro ride and a taxi to your final destination. Many smart mobility solutions involve sharing, such as vehicle or ride sharing. Finland changed rules to allow innovation in these areas. Now there are city bike, electric scooter, car and ride sharing companies in the country. Connectivity and the Internet of Things (IoT) is required for most smart mobility applications. Finland has many experts in necessary infrastructure, such as communications technology, sensors and data analysis. Finland isn t an island it is a peninsula but the sea has always been the prime way Finland traded with its neighbors and the wider world. This has given it decades of developing maritime solutions. In recent years Finland has been applying smart mobility concepts and technologies to the maritime industry. Increasing efficiency is one way smart solutions increase sustainability. As an example, the Finnish maritime company W rtsil has developed route optimization technology which helps ships use the prevailing weather to assist their journey. This reduces fuel usage and emissions. W rtsil has also developed innovative zero-emission maritime solutions. The company has designed and equipped two battery-powered ferries for Norway. 12/22/2020 5
Background 2/2 Today Finland has some of the world s top ship designers, builders and outfitters. For example, the Oasis of the Seas, which was the largest cruise ship in the world when launched, was built in Finland and is powered by engines from the Finnish company W rtsil . Due to Finland s geography it has strengths in cold-weather mobility. This includes developing icebreakers, oil spill cleaning in ice, and autonomous vehicles in snow. Many companies developing self-driving cars come to Finland to test how they operate in snow and ice. The environmental services company Lamor partnered with public organizations to develop equipment and procedures to clean oil spills in icy conditions. Arctic maritime know-how is becoming increasingly important as northern shipping routes become feasible. Finland works bilaterally and multilaterally on achieving a sustainable future for the Arctic. Finland is a member of the Arctic Council, the Barents Euro-Arctic Council and many related UN sub-organizations. 12/22/2020 6
Facts and stats Helsinki was ranked Europe s best city for urban mobility by the American political journalism group Politico in 2017. There are 1,142 automotive and transport technology companies in Finland, according to Helsinki Business Hub and 3,000 maritime companies, according to the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment. Finland is ranked the #1 country in building the most energy-efficient cruise vessels and is the #1 country in polar shipbuilding, design and fleet operation, according to the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment (2019). Helsinki is one of the best prepared cities for new mobility, according to the Future Mobility Competitiveness Index (2019). Over 130,000 maritime trips are made annually in the Arctic, according to a study by Silber and Adams which was published in Frontiers in Marine Science (2017). Arctic shipping is estimated to increase 50% between 2012 and 2050, according to Transport & Environment. Finland has built more polar class icebreakers than any other country, according to Business Finland. The Finnish company W rtsil says it is one of the three largest marine power companies in the world, particularly for gas carriers, cruise ships, ferries and the offshore industry. 12/22/2020 7
