Do you represent a company or organisation interested in starting, deepening or expanding RDI collaboration with Tampere Universities? Join us at the Hervanta campus for an Alihankinta side event! We will share and discuss current research themes as well as opportunities for collaboration between companies, the university and the university of applied sciences – including funding opportunities. You will meet researchers, professors and collaboration experts, and have the chance to visit our inspiring laboratories.

What do we offer?

We offer you and your colleagues an engaging day in Tampere, full of knowledge-sharing and networking opportunities to support the development of your company’s business and expertise.

Your Tampere day can begin with a visit to Finland’s leading industrial event, Alihankinta. Tampere University Community will be present with its own stand in the main lobby of the Tampere Exhibition and Sports Centre. Admission to Alihankinta is free of charge if you register in advance via the event website.

From 12:00 onwards, we will host lunch, expert talks and laboratory tours at the Hervanta campus. You will meet researchers, professors, and specialists in industry collaboration and research infrastructures.
