The Tampere region is creating innovative, digital and sustainable smart city solutions together with companies, research institutions, other municipalities and residents.
Though the Smart Tampere program period ended in 2021, smart city development in Tampere, Finland continues.
A new program will begin in spring 2022. Stay tuned!
In Smart Tampere we are using agile experiments to find new, easy-to-use electronic services for Tampere residents. We want the city’s residents to be able to use the city’s services easily and at their own convenience. In addition to electronic services, we wish to offer Tampere residents new ways to influence decision-making and the development of their living environment through new channels for participation. Take part to have your say!
In the region of Tampere, innovative, digital and sustainable smart city solutions are created in partnership not only with businesses, institutions and residents, but also in close cooperation with researchers and students. The City indeed wants students and research organizations to take actively part on city development with other stakeholders: we need to awaken the interest of various talents concerning smart city issues!
Tampere´s population is growing rapidly. To accommodate these new residents and fulfill their needs, we have to imagine and create new buildings and infrastructures. And, here is the challenge: it has to be eco-friendly, energy-efficient, and sustainable without decreasing people’s comfort and well-being. Take part to the subject and help us imagining tomorrow’s buildings and residential areas.
Data collection, analysis and artificial intelligence (AI) are creating new potential for business development and the renewal of city operations and services. AI and analytics can be used in many fields to support planning and decision-making, for example, and to optimize operational efficiency. Let’s join forces and make Tampere the world’s strongest AI expertise hub!
We believe that the digital revolution is an important opportunity for health and well-being. Therefore, we intend to have everyone in the city primarily using digital well-being services in 2025. Our HealthHUB (operated by Tays) is a center for research, development and innovation related to health and well-being, and aims at developing new services. Tampere University Hospital works in cooperation with businesses and the City of Tampere, but anyone is also welcome to join in. Pick a channel that works for you – and hop in!
Building and guaranteeing a safe urban environment is essential, as safety and security considerations are amongst top-level needs of every individual.

Digitalization and the Industrial IoT are changing industrial production, products and competition quickly, while also creating significant growth and internationalization opportunities for early adopters. At Tampere, we aim at creating a real hub of expertise able to reinvent tomorrow’s manufacturing industry in order to exploit this potential. Seize the challenge and become a trailblazer!
Different connectivity solutions, such as 5G, LoRa or X technologies, serve as key infrastructures and enablers for digitalization and the IoT. The purpose of these connectivities is to collect data produced by people, things and systems in order to develop services meeting the people’s needs. This must be done safely, reliably and cost-effectively.
Traffic and mobility are essential points for tomorrow’s cities, and Tampere is no exception. Mobility and traffic are indeed extremely structuring for many other questions, are currently facing major changes and offer great potential for new ideas.
