As the home of Finland’s biggest international airport, the Helsinki Airport, in Vantaa is a hub for travel. Travel, events and conferences related innovations, solutions and technology are growing areas of business and provide new and exciting opportunities. The Helsinki Airport (located in Vantaa) has a capacity for up to 30 million passengers per year, creating exciting opportunities for businesses.

Vantaa provides potential for travel through the city’s incredible connections and passenger flows going through the city. Vantaa’s Tikkurila railway station is the third busiest in Finland. Both the main railway line and the main roads run through Vantaa making the city well-connected to the rest of Finland.  

Travel in Vantaa is an emerging industry that the City of Vantaa is looking to boost in the future. The Aviapolis area especially provides development opportunities as it is Finland's fastest growing center for work and enterprise and in close proximity to the airport. Vantaa’s lead projects such as Kuusijärvi Recreation Centre, Håkansböle cultural and recreational area, the Tikkurila Competence Campus project and the new Aviation Museum also provide opportunities in travel business. Emerging opportunities include opening access (also for short-term use) to a variety of business premises in Tikkurila riverside, Myyrmäki and the historical Helsingin pitäjän kirkonkylä.

Another incredible opportunity coming up in the future is the premises of the old Aviation Museum becoming available for event use.
