The evening was hosted by Mayor Anna-Kaisa Ikonen, Strategy Director Reija Linnamaa and Planning Officer of International Affairs Pekka Pernu. Many of the invited guests knew each other only from virtual meetings meaning that the face-to-face meeting created a cheerful buzz in the ballroom.
“I believe that, alongside nations and regions, the role of cities will become even more significant. Tampere is the most attractive city in Finland, forward-looking and vibrant,” Anna-Kaisa Ikonen emphasised in her speech.
The aim of Alumni Ambassadors is to develop interaction between the Tampere Universities community and society and to increase awareness about teaching, research, and international business cooperation opportunities. Alumni Ambassadors also contribute to stakeholder cooperation and fund-raising at the Universities community.
“It was great that this event could be organised. The Old City Hall is a truly magnificent venue and well suited to our prestigious Ambassador meeting, for which we thank the City of Tampere. Alumni Ambassadors are an important resource for us, and I believe that we are all winners in this work,” said Elina Suojanen-Laine, Head of Unit at Innovation Services and Partnerships at Tampere University.
