Vihti municipality has received the prestigious Uusimaa Entrepreneurs' Golden Entrepreneur Flag in recognition of its strong commitment to promoting entrepreneurship. The award is given to municipalities that have demonstrated exemplary entrepreneurial spirit in their business policy, contact with entrepreneurs, procurement practices and service attitude.
