Kempele is an idyllic village with a good standard of services and excellent transport and other communications that has a fine hi-tech tradition. International connections are made easy by its position next door to Oulu Airport, so that London is only four hours away and Stockholm two hours. The journey to Helsinki takes no more than an hour.

The E75 highway, the Oulu bypass and the national route 8 meet just south of the village centre, and the main Oulu-Helsinki railway line crosses its plains.

Kempele is a community that is fast developing urban features and is situated only 15 minutes' drive away from Oulu, the main technology centre for the whole of Northern Europe. This convenient location has attracted many hi-tech firms that are enjoying success on international markets. One could very well say that Kempele is Finland's "Silicon Plain".

Kempele is also a pleasant and popular place to live, with rural surroundings, a wide variety of services and a youthful, growing population amounting to 12 500 at the present moment. Young families with children have been especially eager to settle here, as the uncrowded residential areas favour private detached houses.

Kempele is a good, safe place in which to live and grow up.
