What Vihdin kunta does

Viihdin kunta is a Finnish municipality (kunta) — a statutory local-government entity — headquartered in Nummela in the Uusimaa region and founded in 1869. It is a public legal entity under Finnish law (Business ID 0131905-6) governed by an elected municipal council, and it discharges mandatory local-government functions including early childhood education, comprehensive schooling, upper secondary education (Vihdin lukio), vocational education (via Luksia), library and cultural services, sports and youth services, immigration services, land-use planning, building supervision, environmental and veterinary services, and water supply/wastewater through its wholly-owned subsidiary Vihdin Vesi.

Its service envelope is delivered through a portfolio of digital platforms rather than a unified product: the central vihti.fi portal (recently augmented in November 2025 with an AI-powered six-language translation and text-to-speech accessibility tool from vendor Voice Intuitive), Wilma for school communication, Lunna as the regional wellbeing-county digital channel (used by roughly 45% of Vihti residents), Vihti Business (V2B) for business development, Kuntarekry for recruitment, Visit Vihti for tourism, Kuntamaisema for municipal performance reporting, and sub-brands for the cultural venue (Vihdin Kultsa) and the library network. Operations are funded by municipal income tax, property tax, state transfers, and fee-based services; the municipality does not sell commercial products and pricing is not publicly disclosed.

Vihti serves two primary constituent groups: residents (Kuntalaiset ja asukkaat) receiving the full range of living, education, and cultural services, and businesses and entrepreneurs (Yrittäjät ja yritykset) accessing land, permits, business services, and recruitment incentives such as Vihdin rekrylisä. Go-to-market is direct through the kunnanvirasto, multiple field locations, the vihti.fi ecosystem, social channels (Facebook, Instagram), and an email newsletter distributed four to five times per year. The municipality's stated ambition under its 2026–2033 strategy, led by Kunnanjohtaja Erkki Eerola, is to position Vihti as the best municipality in Uusimaa for living, working, and entrepreneurship.

Product overview

Vihdin kunta is a Finnish municipality in Uusimaa, not a commercial product company. Its 'products and services' consist of a portfolio of citizen-facing digital platforms and municipal service channels. The primary digital offering is the Vihti.fi municipal website, which serves as the central portal for all municipal services. The municipality also operates specialized sub-portals: Vihdin Vesi (water utility services with online invoicing and e-forms), Lunna (regional health and wellbeing digital services used by Vihti residents), Wilma (school communication), Vihti Business (business development), Hobby Hour (youth after-school activities), Vihdin Kultsa (cultural venue), Vihdin kirjasto (library services), Visit Vihti (tourism), an event calendar, a recruitment portal (Kuntarekry), and a data-reporting tool (Kuntamaisema). These operate as interconnected service channels rather than a unified software platform.
