Jyri Häkämies, who has been CEO of the Confederation of Finnish Industries (EK) since 2012, is transitioning to an advisory role at Cursor, a development company based in the Kotka-Hamina region, following his retirement. Cursor has announced that Häkämies will not receive any financial compensation for his advisory role. Häkämies previously served as a member of parliament for the National Coalition Party and was a minister in three different Finnish governments.

Cursor is dedicated to supporting and developing local businesses, attracting investments to the area, and enhancing regional tourism. The company is primarily owned by the city of Kotka, indicating a strong local government involvement in its operations and initiatives. This move indicates Häkämies' ongoing commitment to the region even after stepping down from his prominent position at EK.

Häkämies hails from Karhula, which is now part of Kotka, underscoring his strong ties to the community. His background and extensive experience in economic development and politics may provide valuable insights and guidance to Cursor as it aims to bolster local industry and attract tourism in the area.
