Experience Tampere 2026 wrapped up last week.

In this video, our participants share some of their thoughts and highlights from the week.
Sauna was a clear favourite, but beyond that, they were positively surprised by the calmness of everyday life in Finland and the openness and connectedness of Tampere’s business environment.

Several participants are already exploring possibilities to bring their startup to Tampere or to continue building connections with the local ecosystem.

This is exactly what the week is about: creating real connections and turning first impressions into concrete next steps for both the participants and the region.

Thank you to all our participants and to the organisations and partners who made this week possible. It’s a wrap – and hopefully just the beginning of many future collaborations.

Last week, Experience Tampere brought together international talents and startup founders to explore opportunities and everyday life in Tampere. The week is not only about meetings and business – it also leaves space to explore the city and spend time freely.

During the programme, our guests had the opportunity to discover Tampere both independently and through shared activities. One of these was a lakeside cruise, offering a different view of the city from the water.

With two large lakes, Näsijärvi and Pyhäjärvi, shaping the city, water is an essential part of Tampere. In the summer, the lakes offer everything from boating to swimming, while in winter they become spaces for activities on ice.

We wanted to show our guests what everyday life can look like in Tampere beyond work, and how easily nature and leisure are part of it all. From business connections to time by the lake, both matter when imagining life here.

A key part of Experience Tampere week is understanding how to build and grow a business in Finland.

During the week, our startup guests explored the support services available in Tampere and the wider Finnish ecosystem. They got to know Platform6 Startup House and Startup Tampere, and organisations such as Tribe Tampere and Redstone VC, as well as the services offered by Business Tampere and the Pirkanmaan Yrityskummit network. They also learned about funding opportunities and financial support available for startups in Finland.

An essential part of the Experience Tampere programme is helping international founders understand how to navigate the local ecosystem and what kind of support is available when building a business in Tampere.

From first connections to practical steps, the week is moving from inspiration towards concrete possibilities.

Day 3 of Experience Tampere focused on startup pitching!

At Platform 6 Startup House, our guests took part in Founders & Funders: Experience Tampere Pitching Day – one of the key moments of the week. Startups FeederScope by Oasis Technology, M-Based, SpectraDX by Peacewise, Corezzle and Lowgistic presented their solutions during the event.

The startups pitched to a jury representing organisations such as Redstone Nordic VC, Business Finland, Erik Ventures, The Brutally Honest Mentor and Fiban, and received valuable and honest feedback on their ideas and on how to move forward in the Finnish market and in Tampere.

During the Experience Tampere week we are creating opportunities for startups to pitch their ideas, build connections and better understand how they could grow within the local ecosystem. Alongside the pitching, the event also brought together people from Tampere’s startup and investment scene, sparking conversations that can continue beyond this week.

Day 2 of Experience Tampere took our guests into Finnish nature.

At Kirskaanniemi, they got a glimpse of how closely nature is part of everyday life here. Guided by Catherine Ghersi from Nomade Tourism, they learned about Jokamiehenoikeus – the freedom to explore nature and enjoy what the forests have to offer.

This is an important part of the Experience Tampere week: showing what work-life balance looks like in practice, and how easily city life connects with nature in Tampere.

After a walk in the woods, the group gathered by the lake to grill sausages and try a traditional Finnish delicacy, squeaky cheese.

From business opportunities to lakeside moments – both are part of the experience. Stay tuned for what comes next.

Experience Tampere 2026 kicked off with a warm welcome to the city.

On the first day, our guests were introduced to Tampere as a place to live and work, and got an overview of what the week ahead will bring.

This first step is an important part of the journey: helping participants understand the broader context – what life in Tampere looks like and what kind of opportunities and support are available if they choose to take the next step.

The evening continued at Saunaravintola Kuuma, where we enjoyed a relaxed dinner and gave our guests the chance to experience an essential part of Finnish culture – sauna!

A great start to the week, and plenty more to come. Stay tuned as we share highlights from the days ahead.
