The results of the national municipal barometer survey aimed at entrepreneurs were published at the municipal leadership seminar on May 20, 2026. The survey surveys cooperation between municipalities and entrepreneurs and the state of economic policy nationally, regionally and by municipality every two years.

The City of Hamina has signed a vitality pledge with the Hamina Entrepreneurs Association from early 2026, for which we received recognition at the seminar.
