Project description
Availability of skilled workforce and successful entrepreneurs originate from active and educated population. The population and its regional structure at Northern Ostrobothnia is expected to change significantly during next couple decades by declining birth rate and negative net-migration. To have successful future, Northern Ostrobothnia needs stronger attraction and retain forces for active young people, a more agile education for workforce and increase in entrepreneurship activity. The project creates data-based knowledge management tools and platform for better regional situation awareness for strategical and operational development work at local, sub-regional and regional scales. The produced information us used for co-learning with stakeholders to recognize and share knowledge related to processes, patterns and best practices.

- Mobility of (highly) educated citizens
- Labour supply
