Goal and vision

For companies, that means easily accessible world-class RDI facilities and co-operation that supports success. In autumn 2022, we will draw up a shared vision and a roadmap for further development of Smart Otaniemi environment.  

This is an amazing networking opportunity for your business and a great change to have an impact on the development of Smart Otaniemi.  

The development plan for Smart Otaniemi will be drafted in three workshops. The key themes of the development – green transition and digitality, fossil-free transport, carbon-neutral energy production and sustainable construction – are derived from Sustainable Espoo programme. In the workshops, we will define the vision and objectives for the key themes and determine the measures for building a development environment for smart and sustainable urban solutions. The partnership network consists of the City of Espoo’s decision-makers and development project officers, business representatives (transport, energy, construction) and representatives of education and research organisations.
