The EU Cluster Summit Finland 2025, held in Kuopio on 28 October, brought together Finland’s cluster operators, regional developers, RDI experts, and decision-makers to discuss strengthening cooperation and innovation policy.

Through close collaboration with SAVIONIA, the cluster has successfully integrated Horizon Soil Health projects, including SOILPROM. The project focus on developing innovative solutions for soil health, nutrient management, and sustainable farming practices, contributing to climate action and regional resilience.

The first edition of Cluster Summit Finland demonstrated the importance of cooperation between clusters, policymakers, and regional developers in driving innovation, sustainability, and climate-smart solutions. The success of the Agri-Food Pohjois-Savo Cluster is a testament to how dedicated local initiatives, combined with European collaboration, can shape the future of agriculture, soil health, and food innovation.
