Heinola Business Development and Growth Program is created and managed by Heinola, which remains responsible for the most part of the PI’s priority ‘Operating Environment of Businesses’ in the City by providing land and municipal infrastructure for the local and incoming companies. Businesses, in turn, are vital for the City, because they create jobs and pay taxes, which enables the City to offer public services and other facilities for the local society and nature. Heinola also provides funding for the implementation of this policy program and updates the content when possible

Objective of PI: To increase overall Vitality of the City and to enable its Growth with a consideration to preservation of nature.

Priorities:
1. increasing the Competitiveness of the City,
2. improving the Experience and Impression that the City gives, and
3. by upgrading the Economic Performance that the City can reach.

These high-level qualities and measures will be produced by putting effort into a large number of priorities, of which the ‘Operating Environment of Businesses’ is selected to be addressed. Specifically, the qualities of the Operating Environment of Businesses, and the City’s potential actions and measures in influencing it, will be viewed in the project in order to evaluate the City’s eligibility for receiving Sustainable Funding.

The Strategic document of CIM BSE aims to transform the region into a “City-Region” based on a heterogeneous, urban-rural, circular and ecosystemic territorial framework, to implement the SDGs, by leveraging endogenous resources and enhancing the region's productive, social, entrepreneurial, innovative, technological and sustainable capacities.

The document identifies 6 strategic axes (EE), that guide this transformation: EE1: Capacity Building; EE2: Sustainability and Quality of Life; EE3: Mobility: Accessibility and Migratory Movements - enhance transportation infrastructure and manage migratory movements; EE4: Environmental Excellence; EE5: Institutional, Economic, and Social Innovation; EE6: Urban-Rural Ecosystems. These axes encompass 10 strategic development objectives (OED), including OED4.1: Promote environmental excellence by optimising resource and investment/consumption destinations. EE4 and OED4.1 emphasise that the region should be both a source and destination of natural, environmental, and productive resources. The region’s natural resources can be combined with renewable energy production capacity - hydroelectric, wind, biomass, and photovoltaic. This intrinsic environmental excellence should be positioned as a resource stock to attract more public and private investment in various production clusters, committed to sustainability, environmental innovation, and energy efficiency
