Karsikko is a large, undeveloped industrial area of approximately 100 hectares located close to a deep-sea port and the E75 highway. The site is structured as a long-term strategic development zone, with future plans for grid connection and substantial energy supply capacity—ideal for heavy industry, large-scale hydrogen production or renewable-energy-driven processes.

With its scale and blank-canvas flexibility, Karsikko offers investors the rare opportunity to design large industrial or energy projects from the ground up. Its proximity to key logistics routes and port infrastructure positions it as one of the most promising greenfield opportunities in northern Finland.

Industry news

Join us in Sea-Lapland for high-level event aimed at accelerating hydrogen economy investments and building a coordinated regional ecosystem. Sea-Lapland is entering a new phase of hydrogen and P2X development, with major industrial players, municipalities and infrastructure operators working together to build a coordinated ecosystem. This event offers direct access to the people shaping that process and the information needed for future investment decisions. Please list your areas of interest for the afternoon Meet & Greet session when registering, so we can tailor the discussions to your needs. As soon as the agenda is finalised, we will share it with all participants. At this stage, please note that the departure from Oulu for the site visit is at 7:30, in front of the famous Toripoliisi statue. The return to Oulu will be no later than around 16:30.
