The University of Vaasa is restructuring its business education around the energy transition, integrating finance, technology and policy to align with regional energy firms and carbon-neutral targets. Rector Minna Martikainen positioned the university to embed sustainable business, energy systems and applied innovation across bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral programs, serving roughly 7,000 students. The Vaasa approach offers a blueprint for institutions seeking industry-aligned curricula that combine climate goals with employability and research partnerships in energy-intensive regions.
