Startup Tampere Showcase + "Urban Imaginarium" Afterwork

You are invited to Startup Tampere Showcase followed by "Urban Imaginarium" Afterwork at Platform6!

This is an unofficial side event of Tampere Smart City Expo & Conference and Manufacturing Performance Days leveraging and complementing their international and local corporate and investment related programmes and attendees.

Its main goal is to showcase high growth startups based in the Tampere region in the areas of Smart City Development, ICT, Energy, Impact and Deep Tech. This is a great opportunity to get to know and chat with close to 100 startups from the region and hear 25 of them pitch on stage. In addition to this, there will be dedicated slots and spots for speed-dating, ad hoc meetings, an expo area for startup service providers, panel discussions, reverse pitching, office hours and more followed by an afterwork in a relaxed setting.

The event is of special interest to corporates, investors, startups, ecosystem builders, policy-makers, and startup service providers.
