10 CASE: Älykäs maaseutuklusteri (Lappi) Vaikka Lapin maaseudulla on olemassa valtavat luonnonrikkaudet, emme hyödynnä niitä tällä hetkellä tarpeeksi tehokkaasti ja kestävästi. Lapin maaseutu ei suinkaan ole syrjässä kaikesta, vaan päinvastoin keskellä mielettömiä raaka-ainevarantoja, mikä takaa lähes rajattomat käyttömahdollisuudet kiertotalouden periaatteita hyödyntäen. (Johannes Vallivaara, ASE News 2017) Lapin maaseutuklusteri: 100 osaajan verkosto, joka keskittyy elintarvikkeiden jalostukseen ja hajautetun uusiutuvan energian tuotannon kehittämiseen. Tavoitteena on estää maaseudun pääomapakoa ja osoittaa Lapin maaseudun toimijoille mahdollisuudet kannattavaan liiketoimintaan. VIHTA-hanke osana Lapin maaseutuklusterin kehittämistä

13 Pohjoismainen biotalousohjelma ja paikallinen vihreä talous Regional innovation strategies and smart specialisation strategies - important tools to facilitate the development of new industries and technologies based on the utilisation of biological resources. Local strategies, tied to EU strategies, can contribute to increased prosperity, social inclusion and gender equality. Additional test and demonstration facilities are needed in rural areas which often lack access to innovation centres. The centres are important hubs for local expertise and employment. Macro-regional co-operation is encouraged to expand Nordic networks, facilitate business development and investment, and communicate the Nordic sustainable bioeconomy.
