Why should Finnish companies consider business opportunities in Los Angeles?
Los Angeles is the leader in Environmental Sustainability in the United States, and is now investing heavily to reach carbon neutrality by 2050. In order to achieve this, they launched an ambitious plan called the New Green Deal. It’s a vast set of objectives and policies for various sectors, from infrastructure and green technology to justice and economy.
L.A. is calling for innovative and sustainable city solutions.
Reaching carbon neutrality is a race between big cities around the world, and L.A. attempts to be the forerunner. Other cities in the US are following the actions taken in Los Angeles and California. Companies that succeed with their sustainable solutions in the region, have a highway open for broad US markets - and beyond. For the past 50 years, policies and solutions applied in L.A. have been eagerly adopted by the rest of the country. And abroad, even the EU's regulations for car emissions trace back to Los Angeles’ initiatives.
