This year, we are giving out more money than ever before, up to \u20ac500,000, to support projects that improve the state of the Baltic Sea.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is the fifth funding call for the Baltic Sea Project. In previous years, the Bank of \u00c5land\u2019s support has enabled the launch and development of a number of startups.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Baltic Sea Project has had applications from some incredible initiatives and projects in previous years that are already bearing fruit. We\u2019re very proud to watch the growth of the projects that we\u2019ve funded,\u201d says the chair of the jury for the Baltic Sea Project, <strong>Anne-Mari Salonius<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The Baltic Sea Project has provided funding for, among others, the Espoo-based startup <strong>Solar Foods<\/strong>, which makes protein out of air; <strong>Sulapac<\/strong>, which is replacing plastic packaging with biodegradable materials; <strong>Johannes Myllykoski<\/strong>, who developed a device for collecting marine plastics and founded the company Clewat Oy to develop it further; and <strong>Wapulec Oy<\/strong>, which is removing pharmaceutical traces and other harmful substances from waste water.<\/p>\n<p>Funding from the Baltic Sea Project has been used for designing factories, product design, multi-year projects and pilot initiatives.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Funding available for big and small players alike<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In addition to supporting startups, the Baltic Sea Project has funded several large Finnish organizations that work to improve the health of the Baltic Sea. The Baltic Sea Project has supported, among others, <strong>WWF Finland<\/strong>, <strong>BSAG<\/strong>, <strong>The John Nurminen Foundation<\/strong> and <strong>the Keep the Archipelago Tidy Association<\/strong>. Research organizations like the Finnish Environment Institute and the University of Helsinki have also received funding from the Baltic Sea Project.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re funding a variety of projects that help the Baltic Sea, because we all have the same goal: to improve the state of Baltic Sea and increase awareness of it,\u201d says Salonius.<\/p>\n<p>The Baltic Sea Project welcomes applications from, for instance, companies, foundations and research projects aiming for concrete results. Applicants do not need to be established names in the field.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re not just looking for projects that are already under way. If you have an idea that could help the Baltic Sea, the Baltic Sea Project could help you make it a reality,\u201d Salonius confirms.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Record pot for the Baltic Sea<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Last year, the Baltic Sea Project received 128 applications and gave out a total of \u20ac300,000 in funding. This year, the amount of funding is increased to as much as \u20ac500,000.<\/p>\n<p>The is made possible by the increase in savings on Baltic Sea Accounts, a product of the Bank of \u00c5land. The Bank of \u00c5land donates to environmental protection a sum equaling 0.2% of all the savings on Baltic Sea Accounts.<\/p>\n<p>The Bank of \u00c5land, which is celebrating its 100<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary this year, has so far spent nearly \u20ac2,300,000 supporting the important environmental work done by big and small organizations alike.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to be involved in improving the health of the Baltic Sea, and the Baltic Sea Project is one way of doing that. We also have the Baltic Sea Card. It\u2019s the world\u2019s first payment card that\u2019s made of environmentally friendly materials, and it\u2019s coupled to the \u00c5land Index, which shows the environmental impact of your purchases,\u201d says Salonius.<\/p>\n<p><em>Read more about the funding call and apply now on the Baltic Sea Project\u2019s website.
