Foreword
Dear Vantaa resident,
To ensure the well-being of children and young people, pleasant and safe residential areas, good schools, and high-quality services for all ages, Vantaa's economy must be in good shape, service production efficient, and the city attractive from the perspective of employing companies.
This is the program of Vantaa's Kokoomus for the upcoming council term. The goal of Vantaa's Kokoomus is to make Vantaa an even better, more pleasant, and safer place for its residents to live, study, engage in hobbies, work, and start businesses. Therefore, it is important to steer Vantaa more strongly towards a "circle of good" and prevent it from falling into a vicious cycle of accumulating problems.
A strong economy is the foundation of all development. For Vantaa to be able to provide the services its residents need, the city's economy must be in good shape and service production efficient. To succeed in this, Vantaa must be on a "circle of good" as depicted in the accompanying image.
Vantaa needs a positive cycle. The international airport and Finland's best logistical connections provide a good starting point for this. The circle of good is created by developing Vantaa's attractiveness, attracting employing companies, and a good employment rate bringing sufficient tax revenue to the city. High-quality services and a reasonable tax rate can be combined when people have jobs and the city thrives. This strategy is illustrated in the accompanying diagram.

The core values of
the Kokoomus
Responsibility, freedom, and caring
The National Coalition Party is a Finnish popular movement. Our ideology is a combination of responsibility, caring, individual freedom, and equality of opportunity. We want to support community spirit and take care of those who cannot manage on their own. These are genuine Finnish core values that are needed in today's world.
We believe in the individual and education
We believe that society functions best when people have a genuine opportunity to study, develop themselves, work, and succeed on their chosen path. Freedom of speech is important to us, and bullying and hate speech are condemnable.
Balancing the economy
In politics, it is easy to make beautiful promises if the one making the promise does not have to think about who will pay the bill. You cannot divide the cake before it is baked; therefore, supporting economic growth, employment, and entrepreneurship, as well as reasonable taxes, are important.
An encouraging society
Work must always be profitable for everyone. Incentive traps must be dismantled. Young people must be able to trust that developing themselves and studying is worthwhile. The functioning of the welfare society can only be ensured by promoting economic growth and employment.

Effective Employment and Vitality Services and Integration
Helping companies succeed and the unemployed find suitable jobs.
A New Task to Be Handled Well
Employment and vitality services, as well as integration, were transferred to the responsibility of the City of Vantaa at the beginning of 2025. Their successful implementation is crucial for the city's vitality and the well-being of its residents. Since the proportion of the foreign-language population in Vantaa is about 25%, it is important to consider the challenges and opportunities brought by multiculturalism.
Personalized Employment Services
Vantaa should offer tailored employment services that meet the needs of different population groups. This includes personal guidance, training, and internship opportunities.
High-Quality Integration Services
Ensure that immigrants receive comprehensive integration services, such as language training, cultural orientation, and counseling. This way, they can effectively integrate into Finnish society and the workforce.
Collaboration with Companies
Work closely with local companies to provide job and internship opportunities. This helps address labor shortages and improve employment rates.
Boost from the Competence Campus
Education plays a central role in promoting employment and integration. The Tikkurila Competence Campus planned by Vantaa offers excellent facilities for education and employment.
The campus should connect students, job seekers, and companies, offering tailored training programs and learning environments that meet the needs of the labor market. This helps improve the skill level of the workforce and respond to the changing demands of the job market.

Entrepreneurship
Brings Jobs
Work must be done for the sake of work. An entrepreneur-friendly atmosphere and active economic policy bring employing companies to Vantaa.
Vantaa of Opportunities
Vantaa has many strengths from the perspective of successful business operations, such as the international airport and good logistical connections. Fully utilizing these requires active economic policy. The task of the new employment and vitality committee, established at the initiative of the National Coalition Party, is to accelerate growth and dialogue with companies and bring more employing companies to our area.
Entrepreneur-Friendly City
Vantaa must be an attractive city for employing companies. Keep taxation predictable and competitive. Facilitate employment with concrete measures, such as active housing policy and flexible, future-oriented zoning and traffic planning.
Utilizing Entrepreneurs' Service Ideas
Strengthen the innovative role of entrepreneurs in developing city services. Implement the service initiative model: in this model, an entrepreneur can propose a better and cheaper alternative for a service, and the city is obliged to compare this to the existing service.
Boost from Growth and Vitality Program
Vantaa's growth and vitality program was prepared in 2022 in accordance with the council agreement, widely involving stakeholders from the business community. In the upcoming council term, it is important to focus on its three main themes:
Procurement in Parts
In the city's tender competitions, it should be possible to offer a part of the project, not just the entire contract. This way, small businesses can also participate.
High-Quality One-Stop Business Services
Business services should be easily accessible and available at one stop. Key services include business advice, development services, zoning and plot issues, permits, and procurement guidance. Effectively inform about business services.
Ideate Together
Develop the operating conditions of businesses through cooperation between the city and entrepreneurs. Develop officials' entrepreneurship skills. The airport, Vantaa's location, and abundant educated workforce are important competitive advantages.
