What we do
MEX Finland is a mission-driven ecosystem established to relentlessly pursue the adoption of digital and sustainability transformation in engineering and manufacturing of industrial equipment and related advanced manufacturing services. At its core is the mechanical engineering sector, which includes globally cutting-edge applications embracing new technologies and one of the highest added value exports for Finland. The ecosystem aims to support the growth and internationalization of manufacturing companies in Finland. The formation of the ecosystem was possible thanks to the support of Business Finland.
Our mission
Undisputed leadership in advanced industrial equipment and processes.
Our ten year vision
