THE ACTORS OF A WIND POWER CLUSTER: A CASE OF A WIND POWER CAPITAL
Raahe is a medium-sized Finnish town on the western coast of Northern Finland. It has declared itself to become the wind power capital of Finland. The aim of this paper is to find out what being a wind power capital can mean in practice and how it can advance the local industrial business. First, th...
