The world’s northernmost centre of expertise in smart bioeconomy and energy technology.
At the Bioeconomy Campus, we research, develop, and promote new business oppor-tunities based on smart bioeconomy and sustainable energy solutions. We offer unique research, testing, and product development environments that accelerate the adoption of new innovations.
We educate future natural resources professionals through diverse and practice-oriented study paths designed to meet the needs of tomorrow’s working life.

Agricultural education has been provided in Tarvaala, Saarijärvi for nearly 160 years, since 1867.
We bring together experts from different fields, emerging technologies and solutions, and extensive national and international partner networks. This is where tomorrow’s smart and responsible solutions are created.
