Oulu. Born in the gentle embrace of the waters, a down-to-earth city with its feet planted in the northern soil, developing in nature’s terms to become the best in the world. In many ways, we are the most insightful place in the northern hemisphere: we take advantage of the infinite know-how of our region, so we can best share our good fortune with the rest of Finland and the world.

Our northernness is manifested in our relaxed hospitality, bold deeds, and tenacity – the keys to success for individuals and companies. Our superpowers are the different people, neighborhoods, and Oulu’s rich and varied nature. We have the space, time, and opportunities for authentic encounters – of a higher grade°, naturally – that may change your life.
