Urban Millin toiminta jatkuu nykyisissä tiloissa ainakin maaliskuun loppuun

Jatkamme nykyisissä tiloissa Betonimiehenkujalla Otaniemessä ainakin 31.3.2021 asti. Luomme tänä aikana uuden tilakonseptin luoville ja kestävän kehityksen osaajille ja heidän verkostoilleen: matalan kynnyksen hybridistudiotiloja sekä alusta fyysisten protojen ja muiden kädentöiden rakentelulle ja esittelylle. Co-working ja tapahtumatilamme ovat edelleen vuokrattavissa.

Siirryimme vuoden alusta kokeilemaan uutta palvelumalliamme, jolla välitämme Otaniemi-Keilaniemi innovaatioekosysteemin tuottamaa tietoa ja osaamista alueen ulkopuolelle. Fasilitoimme alueen osaajien ja alueen osaamista tarvitsevien toimijoiden yhteisten kehityshankkeiden syntyä sekä fyysisesti että digitaalisesti.

Tuemme asiakkaitamme virtuaalitapahtumien järjestämisessä, tuotamme avointa sisältöä yhdessä kumppaniemme kanssa, järjestämme hybridivierailuja alueelle ja fasilitoimme toiminnastamme kumpuvien uusien virtuaalitiimien syntyä ja työskentelyä.

Tavoitteenamme on kertoa kattavasti alueen moninaisista mahdollisuuksista, parantaa alueen tutkimus-, kehitys- ja kokeilutoiminnan globaali tarjoutuvuutta ja edistää näin erityisesti kestävää kehitystä tukevien ja luovaa osaamista hyödyntävien uusien yritysten ja yhteisöjen syntyä.

Toivomme, että uusi konseptimme palvelee myös sinua ja organisaatiotasi. Ota yhteyttä ja kerro olisiko sinulla jo jotain tarpeita mielessäsi?

Urban Mill will continue to operate in its current premises on Betonimiehenkuja in Otaniemi until at least the end of March. During this time, we will create a new space concept for creatives and sustainability actors and their respective networks: low-threshold hybrid studio spaces and a platform for the construction and demonstration of physical prototypes, artifacts and other handicrafts. Our co-working and event spaces are still available for rent.

From the beginning of the year, we moved on to pilot our new service model, with which we pass on the information and know-how produced by the Otaniemi-Keilaniemi innovation ecosystem outside the region. We facilitated the emergence of joint development projects of the region’s experts and actors in need of the region’s expertise, both physically and digitally.

We support our clients in organizing virtual events, produce open content together with our partners, organize hybrid visits to the area and facilitate the establishment and co-work of new virtual teams arising from our operations.

Our goal is to provide a comprehensive overview of the region’s diverse opportunities, to improve the global affordance of research, development and experimentation of the region, and thus to promote the emergence of new companies and communities that support sustainable development and utilize creative know-how.

We hope that our new concept will also serve you and your organization. Contact us and let us know if you already have any needs in mind?
