This gives added value to investments. For an investor, the size of Tampere provides an advantage. Things run smoothly, and investors can be personally involved in shaping their business environment. One of the key elements of the product ‘Tampere’ is the willingness to help companies and other players establishing a presence here to succeed through open dialogue and a business-friendly mindset.“
