Inno­va­tions

People and com­pa­nies in Oulu are used to work and inno­va­te toget­her: we have an unbea­table repre­sen­ta­tion of sta­ke­hol­ders in educa­tion, research, busi­ness, and the public sec­tor. The Oulu Inno­va­tion Alliance, establis­hed in 2009, also sup­ports this col­la­bo­ra­tion and co-crea­tion.

Cut­ting edge of digi­ta­li­sa­tion

The­re is one thing in Oulu that we know par­ticu­lar­ly well: pro­duct deve­lop­ment. You can come to Oulu with just an idea and go home with a finis­hed pro­duct. We can pro­vi­de all the know-how nee­ded to pro­duc­ti­se, finance, test, and com­mercia­li­se a pro­duct or ser­vice tar­ge­ted for inter­na­tio­nal mar­kets.

Mobi­le tech­no­lo­gies deve­lo­ped in Oulu are being used by almost 3 bil­lion people around the world dai­ly. Com­bi­ning excel­lence in dif­fe­rent fields with wire­less exper­ti­se results in smart ICT solu­tions with which to pro­duce high­ly deve­lo­ped, per­so­na­li­sed, and con­nec­table ser­vices for various industries, such as health care.

The Oulu­Health eco­sys­tem ope­ra­tes in the inter­na­tio­nal front­li­ne of digi­tal health care by pro­mo­ting health and well-being ser­vices by means of infor­ma­tion engi­nee­ring. As an exempla­ry result, the world’s smar­test hos­pi­tal will be comple­ted in Oulu in 2030. Oulu is also the home of prin­ted elect­ro­nics which crea­tes groundbrea­king visions for the auto­mo­ti­ve industry.

Pole posi­tion for star­tup com­pa­nies

The inno­va­tion acti­vi­ties and excel­lent circums­tances to crea­te novel solu­tions in Oulu are based on the seam­less coo­pe­ra­tion between com­pa­nies, the public sec­tor, and educa­tio­nal ins­ti­tu­tions. First-class stu­dy and trai­ning oppor­tu­ni­ties and the com­pe­ti­ti­ve edge in tech­no­lo­gy will boost your busi­ness and ele­va­te it to an inter­na­tio­nal level.
