Welcome to Pori!
Pori's direction is growth – population growth, economic growth, and the growth of businesses, industry, and human capital. We want you to be a part of the story.
The Growth Metroporis* (nope, not a typo) isn’t just a catchy phrase – it’s an open invitation to be part of our city’s ever-evolving story. Pori is growing, developing, and boldly reaching toward the future. And this growth story isn’t a finished script – it’s a living, breathing tapestry woven from countless individual stories, each helping shape the city’s direction.
Stories have power. They help us understand the past, make sense of the present, and imagine the future. Pori’s growth story brings many paths together: population, human capital, and businesses. And best of all, this story doesn’t need to be invented – it already has a clear direction: growth.
But growth doesn’t happen on its own. It takes action, determination, and sometimes a touch of bold ambition. We need to dare to think bigger – and work together. Pori is a place where big ideas aren’t just allowed – they’re encouraged.
Every city has a story, and how that story is told matters. It’s not only about what has happened, but also about what’s yet to come. Stories shape identity, spark curiosity, and influence who’s drawn to join the journey. The Growth Metroporis gives voice to the city’s development and invites everyone to become storytellers.
This video paints the big picture: it shows how everything starts to fall into place as Pori grows and evolves into a Growth Metroporis.
