We are the change!

2020-09-01 9:43

Melissa Arni-Harden

Once the new business practices brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic have become a part of the new normal, building an employer brand will be more important than ever. Committing to fostering inclusion and diversity is an excellent way to strengthen an organization's image as an employer. Hiring people who have moved to Finland from abroad for study or family reasons portrays the image of a dynamic

A wise city is people-centric – City as a Service

2020-06-18 8:37

Päivi Sutinen, Veera Vihula, Wilhelmiina Griep

Smart city thinking has been at the core of urban development for a long time. Measurable data, efficiency and new kinds of services have been sought with the help of various technological solutions and sensors. In a built environment, smart city technologies aim to facilitate ecologically sustainable development.


Congratulations, Taoyuan and all the intelligent finalists!

2019-06-14 12:43

Päivi Sutinen

This time last year, at the Top1 dinner, we were pretty calm. We honestly didn’t expect to win, so there was nothing to be nervous about. It was a real surprise when we were called to the stage as Top one Intelligent Community 2018.

Travel blog: Story-like approach makes an impression in New York

2019-06-06 15:45

Veera Vihula

Smart City development is a major phenomenon in cities on an internationally level, but discussions have often been technology-oriented and have revolved around, for example, the 5G network and sensors.


Hack with Espoo – upper secondary school students hack the city’s systems

2018-09-28 10:45

Matti Parviainen

On 1 October 2018, Espoo’s upper secondary schools are launching a completely new kind of course even on a national scale called Hack with Espoo. The course will teach upper secondary school students about new information security trends, hacking, its ethics and tools. Towards the end of the course, they will have the opportunity to test the information security of the city’s information system.

Espoo on the fast track to a tram era

2018-07-03 15:08

Torsti Hokkanen

Just when the people in Espoo are starting to get used to the changes introduced by the new metro line, we find ourselves on the threshold of the next major change. With the completion of Jokeri Light Rail in a few years' time, Espoo will become a genuine tram city.


AI experiment, phase 2: Tests completed, artificial intelligence works

2018-01-30 8:46

Tomas Lehtinen

A challenge that many cities face is that the various sectors and services have internal service paths as the data or knowledge may be kept in silos. In our artificial intelligence experiment, which combines data from early childhood education and social and healthcare services, one of the challenges has been to combine data from two sectors and multiple systems.

AI experiment, phase 1: Helping artificial intelligence

2017-11-02 15:00

Tomas Lehtinen

The City of Espoo and the software and IT services company Tieto launched a unique artificial intelligence experiment last summer. The experiment combines a huge amount of data, including social and healthcare services as well as early childhood education data for the whole population of Espoo for the period 2002-2016. The aim of analysing the large data mass is to find new predictive ways to targ


F1 and C21 = A successful Finland is a network of successful city regions

2017-11-02 10:23

Mayor Jukka Mäkelä

A gathering of Finland’s largest cities, the C21 meeting, received extensive coverage in the media. Mayors from Finland’s 21 largest cities were invited to the event, with the mayors from the six largest cities led by Helsinki Mayor Jan Vapaavuori acting as conveners.

The making of a metro

2017-11-02 10:10

Tuula Antola

Six years ago, when I had just been appointed as the Director for Economic and Business Development in Espoo the Helsingin Sanomat daily newspaper came to interview me at the Keilaniemi metro construction site. Since that day, the Tapiola metro tunnel has served as the venue for Slush, Europe’s largest growth company event that specialises in bringing together startups and international investors


New West Metro line – like building an ocean liner inside a glass bottle

2017-11-02 10:03

Ville Saksi

The scope of the West Metro project is almost unprecedented in Finland. The end product will be vastly different from the metro service that was first created 40 years ago. The initial project plan, completed in 2008, failed to look forward towards the future and assess the sort of technologies that were likely to be available now, notably in the areas of fire safety but also in terms of wider bui

Fall in love with Espoo’s waterfront walkway

2017-08-31 15:05

Lennart Pettersson

Ask any Espoo resident what comes to their mind when they think of their hometown and they will tell you about the sea and the surrounding nature. Both are also important pull factors for visitors to the area even if we have so far not made full use of the potential they offer.


Better service through technology

2017-03-23 14:18

Päivi Sutinen

Automation, robotics and artificial intelligence are the future, also in municipal services. Naturally, it is not possible or even desirable to replace people with machines in everything, but it makes sense to occupy people with services that cannot be handled by machines. This way, human thinking resources can be targeted at genuinely productive and important work.

Espoon Asunnot switches to EKOenergia certified power supplier for all properties – why have we done this?

2016-10-24 8:40

Seppo Kallio

The results of the latest survey into Espoo residents’ environment-related attitudes and behaviour show that climate change is seen as one of the most serious global environmental threats currently facing us and many express concerns about the consequences of runaway climate change. The environment also matters to me personally. It is up to all of us to make environmentally sustainable decisions n


Growth for all companies - not just startups

2016-10-12 11:14

Harri Paananen

A vision of growth requires the right attitude, and any company can be a growth company. Examples include the guys at lääkärihinta.fi that were part of Summer of Startups, as well as the brave migrant restauranteur who has just expanded my favourite lunch restaurant Zava. It's all about choosing between the willingness to create new things and simply trying to survive and defend the current positi

Wherever you are – delivering user-focused services

2016-10-12 10:50

Tuula Antola

I have now spent nearly five years in my post as Espoo’s Economic and Business Development Director. In that time, our operating environment has undergone significant, wide-ranging chage. Currently, around 30% of higher education graduates consider self-employment as their most likely career path, when just five years ago the same figure was as low as 5%. Small businesses are expected to be signif


The metro as an opportunity – Espoo driving towards sustainability

2016-10-12 10:44

Olli Isotalo

In Espoo, the metro is a significant driving force in our efforts to create a dynamic and competitive region for the growth and development corridor that is economically, environmentally and socially sustainable.

Espoo – delivering sustainable growth

2016-10-12 10:37

Jukka Mäkelä

The results of an international study have found Espoo to be the most sustainable city in Europe. Researchers at Tilburg University in the Netherlands discovered that Espoo has succeeded in ensuring that development taking place here is on a sustainable footing, across a series of economic, sociocultural and environmental indicators.


Chinese talent in Finland – can you afford not to engage?

2016-09-29 14:53

Teemu Haapalehto

For Peter Vesterbacka, well-versed in the immense opportunities offered by the Chinese export market, Chinese language proficiency represents an important building block for Finland’s future economic prosperity. As he has it, a workforce proficient in the language would attract Chinese and other international companies to base themselves in Finland, and also smooth the way for Finnish companies ke

Espoo birds flying high

2016-05-27 13:51

Tuula Antola

​The Espoo and wider Finnish economy received a new and unexpected boost when the Espoo Innovation Garden-based entertainment media company Rovio’s Angry Birds flew out into the world – and most recently to a cinema near you. In its coverage of the story, Finnish daily newspaper Helsingin Sanomat rightly noted that, with the film, Rovio has established itself as a world-class studio. The film migh
