The way people work is changing. Many employees work best without
the constraints of time and location, and more companies want to make
the shift towards meeting the needs of this New Work.
Productive and creative work requires quality resources, facilities and
networks. New Work means more than simply working from home; it
needs a connected infrastructure to promote this new culture of working.
Tampere already has many of the elements & buildings sites needed.
Let’s connect the dots and create a networked ecosystem that connects
the existing infrastructure to let employees work to their full potential.

The network of Hotspots is spread throughout Tampere, each with
a separate theme, based on what is already being developed in that area.
These hubs are outfitted with unique equipment based on their “theme”, such as
R&D Labs, 3-D Printers or virtual studios, that are made available to everyone in
the Hotspot Network.
Hotspots are connected by tram and bus, so it is easy to move between locations
throughout the day.

STUDENT INTEGRATION
Non-Traditional Education is an integral part of the Hotspot Ecosystem.
Working with local Universities, professionals and students engage in
real world, hands-on projects together. Organized workshops, sympo-
siums and open university courses provide theoretical understanding.
COLLABORATION WITH COMPANIES EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATION POP-UP COMPANIES
Building on existing collaboration models,
such as Demola and Proakateemia,
provides students with experience, and
companies the opportunities for more dy-
namic business with lower cost & risk rate.
Student-run projects and businesses, such
as cafes, restaurants and IT services, com-
bined with lectures and open online courses
(MOOC) act as part of their University curric-
ulum, educating future employees based on
real economic needs.
Encouraging entrepreneurship, trial comp-
anies are created by students and facilitated
by professionals. This offers a safe environ-
ment for students to safely test their business
models in a real environment without the risk
of financial ruin.

The Tampere community is filled with ambitious students, driven entre-
preneurs and a thriving field of business people. The citizens of Tampere
have great ideas and the ability to make a difference.
The city has needs, and not all of them can be solved by the government.
By opening these needs up to the people of Tampere and asking for help
in solving them, we can build new pride & community throughout Tam-
pere.
Tampere has many impressive resources that make it feel like home. We
love what we build together. Let’s tap into Tampere’s greatest resource:
the community.

Creating a mutually beneficial relationship with the com-
munity by going beyond simply listening, and enlisting cit-
izens to help design and execute particular government
services. Harvesting the collective intelligence of the com-
munity solves meaningful issues and promotes awareness,
communication, and understanding.

THE TAMPERE STANDARD
Requiring all new construction to implement smart technologies into their infrastructure creates a new standard that
focuses on sustainability, efficiency and security. Slowly retrofitting older construction brings them in line with the new
Tampere Standard.
To support Electric Vehicles, drivers need affordable, convenient, and compatible options for charging. Charging stations at workplaces
and public destinations boost the market acceptance of EVs.
Measuring ambient light with directionable sensor probes, Libelium’s Smart Lighting device is capable of monitoring conditions inside
buildings or in tunnels, and outside, in the streets.
Intelligent tools in homes, such as the NEST Thermostat, learn about you and your home as they function. Then, they automatically ajust to
your lifestyle for optimal comfort and energy savings.

In order to maintain an innovative and connected atmosphere, citizens
must not only have information made available, but they must be able to
access it however, wherever and whenever they want.
By creating an accessible infrastructure of information, the community
stays knowledgeable and inspired.
Rewarding the people of Tampere with effortless, accessible and well
organized information means Tampere stays connected and runs fluidly.

Providing Tampere hassle-free access to the internet wherever they are. This is done through a complimentary wireless
network that includes re-designed wi-fi distributors and automated kiosks spread throughout the city center.
Wi-Fi DISTRIBUTION SPONSORED CONNECTION
AUTOMATED KIOSKS
An infrastructure for Wireless Internet requires several hotspots
placed throughout the city. Through solar and other technologies,
Bus Stops, Garbage Cans, Park Benches and more become portals
for internet connection.
Dividing up the city-center into sections that can be sponsored by
local businesses who become providers of the wireless internet in
that area.
Spread throughout the city, automated kiosks, such as the
UrbanFlow kiosks developed for Helsinki, provide Wi-Fi, as well as
information on bus/tram routes and schedules, local amenities,
travel guide and historic information about the surrounding areas.

DATA UTILIZATION
Gathering and analyzing data generated by citizens, visitors and businesses within Tampere and using this data to re-
design infrastructure, community services and more throughout the entire Tampere region.
CITY GRID OPEN DATA PLATFORM
BIG DATA
Advanced data analytics leverage data from different sources, and
deliver value in different electric utility applications. Harvest and
apply these systems to build or renovate complex systems like
electrical grids.
There are many areas where open data can be of value. There are
also many different groups of people and organisations who can
benefit from the availability of open data, including government
itself, and turn it into useful tools for the community.
Harvesting and exploiting the natural data created as people live
and work in Tampere can be used to streamline everything in
Tampere. This includes public safety, buildings, energy, water,
transportation, social programs, healthcare, and education.
