Veikka Pirhonen

Sustainable future needs a new approach. The world’s common goal is to limit global warming to well under 2º centigrade. It is a big challenge and not least because of unequally spread welfare in the world. The quickest and easiest way to reduce the environmental impact is the implementation of new technology and digitalization solutions.
For over 10 years Veikka Pirhonen developed and promoted solutions for sustainable development and contributed on a common target limiting global warming, e.g. E-Cars, Mobility as a Service and Flexibility Solutions. Currently Veikka Pirhonen is working as Director, Energy Flexibility Management at Siemens Osakeyhtiö and as CEO of VIBECO Oy where he is heading an energy spearhead project of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment, coordinated by VIBECO Oy, where together with several stakeholders, a new ecosystem is created for smart infrastructure and energy systems.
