Tampere is a city known for its courage to grow and go forward. Located in the heart of Finland, Tampere is home to blooming tech companies such as Valmet, Treon, and Colossal Order. Unlike the tech industry in many crowded cities, these tech companies can offer their employees an escape from the chaos and a lifestyle with affordable, easy-access housing and a high standard of living.
Tampere has a strong tech community and active ecosystems for example in machine learning, imaging, mobile and manufacturing technologies. The growing city and its tech industry need bright new tech minds. In the Experience Tampere campaign, European professionals are especially targeted.
Twelve of the tech professionals and startup founders who register for the event by 16 August also have a chance to win a five-day immersive experience in Tampere. There will be a versatile programme for both talents and startup owners coming to experience the hidden gem of Finland between the 12th and 16th of September.
"It will be a unique experience and an opportunity for the winners to meet the companies, get to know the city, its tech scene, and the lifestyle. Tampere will show that high tech can be combined with a vibrant community and chill sauna evenings by beautiful lakeside scenery," says Sini Vilppula, Vice President, Human Resources, at Automation System Business Line in Valmet.
For startup founders, the city organizes a programme where they get to explore the Startup Tampere ecosystem, visit co-working spaces, innovation centers, and accelerators, and feel the energy of the Platform 6 Startup House. Furthermore, connect with local startups, network with founders, gain insights from industry experts, and create new possibilities for their startups.
All participants get to experience Finnish culture with their families and discover the unique charm of Tampere, enjoy cultural activities, indulge in traditional Finnish cuisine, and build connections beyond business.
