Decision brief

Download brief (PDF)mandate-neutral · ranked by overall opportunity

Best overall fit: Pohjois-Savo (Opportunity 38). Runner-up: Lappi (37). Contrarian pick: Lappi — leads the set on Air quality (EU pctl 100).

#1Pohjois-Savo

Strengths

Energy cost (99) · Digital readiness (79)

Flood: 28% of population in the 100-year floodplain

Why you might not pick Pohjois-Savo

Its weakest dimension is Labour market (EU pctl 25) — Lappi may suit a mandate that weights that higher.

How robust is this recommendation?

Pohjois-Savo leads under all four archetype mandates — the recommendation is weight-stable.

Phase-2 diligence checklist

Site-level grid connection capacity and power pricing (beyond country-grain energy data)
Local incentives, tax regimes and permitting timelines
Workforce depth for your specific roles (the talent pillar is a proxy)
Real-estate availability, rents and land — public pan-EU data stops at the Nordics
Flood defences, return-period design and insurance for flagged regions

This is a mandate-neutral read. To weight the pillars to your thesis, run these regions through the Site Screener — it ranks all 1,211 regions under your weights and exports the full PDF. First-pass macro screening, not investment advice.
