What if growth wasn't the goal? At Welado Group, we believe growth should never be pursued for its own sake. Instead, it should be the natural outcome of creating meaningful impact - for our people, our customers and the industries and societies we serve.
Welado Group is built on strong roots, companies, expertise, and people brought together over time through a shared way of thinking about work, business, and above all, people. What started as individual strengths has grown into something greater, a connected Nordic expert community with a common direction. With Vision 2030, we take the next step forward by becoming stronger together and shaping a future founded on experience, trust, and meaningful impact.
"With a combined Vision 2030 and a renewed brand in the horizon our future as a Nordic group has never looked brighter. I am excited for 2026, to start piloting, iterating and making our common future in everyday life: Developing the feel of us together for our people, show casing the new opportunities we can now deliver for our customers together, making an even larger impact on our societies, finding growth and impact in the form of new opportunities", says Noora Haverinen Group CEO.

Solar energy is a promising and rapidly growing field. As we strive to harness the power of the sun, we must also consider the potential impacts of solar installations on our environment and communities. One such impact is the phenomenon of glint and glare, which can arise from the reflective surfaces of photovoltaic (PV) solar panels. Read more!
The Nordic region, with its pristine landscapes and innovative spirit, is witnessing a surge in the adoption of renewable energy technologies. Among these, Photovoltaic (PV) rooftop solar systems are not just a symbol of environmental stewardship but also a testament to financial acumen. This blog post delves deep into the ways PV rooftop solar can bolster the Net Present Value (NPV) and Return on Investment (ROI) for investors in these countries.
Finland is a country that has set ambitious goals for its energy transition. The Nordic nation wants to be completely carbon neutral by 2035 and has built a lot of onshore wind in the past ten years. However, Finland also has a huge potential for offshore wind, which has been largely untapped until recently. In this article, I will explore the benefits and challenges of developing offshore wind farms in Finland, and why this renewable source could be a game-changer for the country's energy system.
Imagine a world where we can produce more food and more energy on the same land, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing biodiversity. A world where farmers can diversify their income and reduce their dependence on fossil fuels. A world where consumers can enjoy high-quality food and clean electricity at affordable prices. This is the world that agri solar can create. Read more!
Finland is a country that has set ambitious climate goals, aiming to reach carbon neutrality by 2035 and to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 90-95% by 2050. To achieve these targets, Finland is relying on a mix of energy sources that includes nuclear, hydro, wind, solar and bioenergy. In this article, we will focus on the renewable energy sector in Finland, especially on the potential of hybrid systems that combine wind and solar power.
