CEE (Centre for Environment and Energy) brings together environment and energy businesses, researchers, developers and investors. CEE is a knowledge hub creating efficient connections between business expertise, top research and investors and the RD&I projects. A decision is made within two weeks at CEE whether an innovation will be turned into a project. The strength of CEE is a single customer interface and an effective value chain.

Our strength comes from 300 researchers, 200 projects and nearly 100 businesses around the area. University Environment House is located at the same campus as Nornet, Lynet, Thule Institute, University of Oulu, Technical Research Centre Finland and Technopolis, together with other environment and energy-related businesses.

We will give wings to innovations – air, water, energy, resource efficiency and measurement technology can be turned into functional products. That’s what we are here for. We will head for the international arenas right away. The water alone holds a billion euro market.
