HORIZONS

An idea is forming... A vision of a smart, energy efficient, waterborne and carbon-neutral passenger transportation system. Right here in Helsinki.

Together with the City of Helsinki, Wärtsilä is exploring the pathway to this exciting new future. And as a key stakeholder in this wonderful city ecosystem, we invite YOU to join forces with us as we take the next steps.

What if we could introduce a zero-emission, waterborne commuter route, where carbon-neutral vessels peacefully traverse the archipelago, creating an optimised and seamless city journey…just imagine…

This event is a gathering of sharp minds to workshop ideas and to discuss the tools and technologies that will be needed to bring vision to reality.

HORIZONS is where collaboration leads to invention.
