Mathias Skytte – Experience and Responsibility for the Future of Vaasa
I am running in the municipal election to work towards an economically strong and sustainable future for Vaasa. With over 12 years of experience in community development and a background as an economist in the export industry, I understand how important it is to make wise decisions that foster long-term growth and stability.
Vaasa needs a policies that strengthens the business community, creates new jobs, and ensures responsible management of the municipality’s finances. I want to contribute my knowledge and experience to drive policies that benefit both residents and businesses, focusing on growth without compromising stability.
My vision is for a Vaasa that is attractive for investment, provides excellent service to its residents, and has a solid economic foundation. By making the right decisions today, we build a stronger future together.

Important political topics
Housing and Construction
Wärtsilä's area in Vöyrinkaupunki should be the number one priority for development. We need housing for students, seniors, and families with children, combined with a Culture and Congress Center
Economy & Business
Vaasa's economy will be challenging in the coming years. We need to focus on investments that will lead to growth in the long term while critically reviewing investments in, for example, bicycle paths. Investments should be made in these as well, but not at any cost. In my opinion, the investments in recent years have been excessive, and planning should be more cost-effective
Municipal and urban vitality
Many things are already done very well in Vaasa today, but we can always improve. To strengthen Vaasa's vitality and attractiveness, it is crucial to develop collaboration between universities, companies, and the city to drive innovation and create a dynamic business environment. By promoting new establishments and supporting local businesses with smooth permit processes, growth and investments in the region can be facilitated. Cooperation with neighboring municipalities is also central to strong regional development and to create a cohesive and competitive labor market.
To increase the city's attractiveness, it is important to create vibrant neighborhoods with a rich cultural and recreational offering as well as good recreational opportunities. Infrastructure development plays a crucial role in Vaasa's future, and therefore the city should actively work for a bridge over Kvarken, an improved port road, and a coastal railway extending from Kokkola to Turku. These investments would strengthen the region's accessibility, increase competitiveness, and improve opportunities for both businesses and residents.
