The Tampere Region EU Office is a collaboration between the City of Tampere, the municipalities from the Tampere City Region and the Council of Tampere Region. Tampere has had an EU office in Brussels since 1999. Tampere Region has over 500 000 residents and is the second-largest region in Finland. It’s a region with a history of continuous renewal. Education, innovations and technology are important topics in the region. A key resource for the development of the region is the higher education community, which includes almost all research and teaching fields ranging from different technological fields, services and commerce to humanities, health science, management and public administration. This is complemented by the general upper secondary education system that covers the whole region. Therefore, the utilisation of expertise, education, research and product development is a starting point in the development of Tampere Region, regardless of the particular topic and matter under consideration.

S3 Strategy
The main focus areas of the Tampere Region S3 are: Responsible and sustainable industry transition: Tampere Region is aiming towards a carbon-neutral, fossil-independent economy and future. Expertise and technologies are used to refine internationally competitive and distributable solutions, concepts and products. The region strives for a leading role as an expert in, and developer of, responsible industries. Smart and sustainable communities: Tampere Region is strengthening its position as a developer, implementer and business partner for the smart features of the technical infrastructure. The core of this is a safer and more efficient, functional, environmentally-friendly and human-centered infrastructure. Wellness technologies and services: Tampere Region features a multidisciplinary and networked approach to social and health care services that responds to customer needs in a timely manner and strengthens inclusion. It integrates this with technology-intensive cutting-edge sectors such as advanced treatments, human spare parts and artificial senses and with supporting digitalisation and innovation activities. Culture and the digital experience sector: Experiences from the fields of performing arts, event production and design have been transformed into business activities and a growth industry that utilises research, RDI activities, digital opportunities and world-class event spaces as drivers for growth.
