Hyrynsalmi offers investors space to grow and the opportunity to be part of building a sustainable future. Located in the heart of Kainuu, the municipality combines strong renewable energy potential, a developing tourism sector, and smooth collaboration without unnecessary intermediaries. The Ukkohalla tourism center and regional wind power solutions provide a foundation for profitable, long-term projects where nature, vitality, and economic growth go hand in hand.
Thriving while respecting nature

Hyrynsalmi runs on renewable energy
Hyrynsalmi’s wind farms are already generating renewable, clean energy to enable a more sustainable life for the people of Kainuu and Finland. Hyrynsalmi offers opportunities to be part of creating a cleaner future for generations to come.

Opportunities in Tourism
At the foot of Kainuu’s highest hills, one of Finland’s most exciting tourism growth stories is taking shape. Ukkohalla, a vibrant tourism village on the shores of Lake Syväjärvi, is on its way to becoming a completely new year-round tourism center – a place where pristine nature, experiences, and modern services meet in a unique way.

Are you planning a green transition project?
Social acceptance is a cornerstone of the green transition, as projects are difficult to implement without the support of the local population. To facilitate discussion, a tool has been created: the Green Transition Dialogue Model.
