9 May 2017
Espoo, Finland - Nokia has joined 'Smart Tampere', an initiative to introduce
smart city services that will foster economic development and improve the daily
lives of citizens in Tampere, Finland. Smart Tampere brings together local
companies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), local government and citizens
to explore how digital technologies can be implemented in areas such as smart
mobility, e-health, smart lighting, smart energy, extended user experience and
more.
Smart Tampere is a city-wide economic policy intended to create a living lab in
which technology solutions can be explored, tested and ultimately deployed to
improve the lives of citizens and make the city more attractive to businesses
and visitors. Through city planning Tampere has been able to ensure public and
private investments of 6-10 Billion Euro to turn Tampere into a smarter city by
2030.
Nokia - which has a strong track-record developing solutions for smart,
sustainable cities - will leverage its expertise in key technologies in areas
such as 5G and the Internet of Things (IoT) that are widely expected to play a
critical role in the development of smart cities.
Nokia's participation in this initiative is its second such effort in Europe
following a project announced last year with Bristol is Open in the U.K. The
announcement also follows the launch late in 2016 of the Smart City Playbook, a
strategy report commissioned by Nokia and developed by Machina Research that
documents best practices for smart cities.
Tommi Uitto, Finland country head, Nokia, said: "The city of Tampere has a
history of innovation, and Nokia - one of the world's leading technology
innovators - has a long history with the Tampere region, where the company got
its start. Working together to explore the potential of digital technologies to
make cities smarter is good for both Nokia and Tampere. The learnings we are
able to glean from this collaboration will benefit Tampere's citizens, companies
and visitors, and can also be carried forward into similar collaborations with
other cities around the world."
Tero Blomqvist, Smart Tampere Program Director, said: "The people of Tampere are
making a substantial commitment to putting our city at the forefront of smart
city development. Working with Nokia is a natural fit, as a company that has
played such an important role in the development of the modern economy here in
Tampere and in the country at large."
