Partnerships’ role in a new era of engineering
At Elomatic, we believe that the future of engineering is built together. Partnerships are not just part of our strategy – they define our way of working. In an era when “one-stop shops” no longer hold all the answers, collaboration unlocks the creativity and agility required to meet our customers’ evolving and unique needs. Modern engineering is a networked endeavor, where innovation thrives on shared ambition and diverse expertise.
The challenges we face today – complex systems, rapid technological shifts, and global uncertainties – demand more than isolated excellence. Through strategic partnerships, we combine complementary strengths across engineering, manufacturing, digitalization, and analytics. Together, we create smarter, more sustainable solutions that no single company could achieve alone.
Collaboration fuels innovation. By working with universities, research institutions, and startups, we accelerate discovery, from advanced materials to AI-driven concept design or predictive maintenance. These exchanges shorten development cycles and keep us at the cutting edge of technology. Partnerships also build resilience: they spread risk, open new markets, and strengthen supply chains in a world where adaptability is key.
Sustainability, too, is a collaborative pursuit. Engineering firms, customers, governments, and NGOs must join forces to design systems that respect both planet and people. Such cooperation aligns technological progress with societal values, building trust and purpose into every project.
Elomatic’s recent partnerships with A-Insinöörit and SAPP Management AG exemplify this spirit. Together, we challenge traditional boundaries of engineering competence, identify growth opportunities, and elevate each other’s strengths.
In the end, partnerships are more than a strategy – they are the foundation of progress. The engineers of the future will not work alone. They will lead, innovate, and thrive through collaboration. That is how we build tomorrow.

Driving hydrogen valleys: The value of connected ecosystems
Text: Teemu Turunen
Reading time: 7 min
Hydrogen valleys are a European concept defined by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership as “geographic areas – a city, a region, an island, or an industrial cluster – where several hydrogen applications, new and/or existing, are combined into an integrated hydrogen ecosystem that consumes a significant amount of hydrogen. Ideally, these projects should cover the entire value chain: production, storage, distribution, and multiple end uses.”
