Experience Tampere 2024

Experience Tampere Week: Attracting International Talents and Startups
From June 10-14, 2024, Tampere hosted "Experience Tampere" week, inviting international talents and startup founders to explore the city. Tech professionals applied for positions at six local companies: Colossal Order, Troll, Huawei, Joinplay Games, TELUS International, and OP Financial Group, offering a total of 20 positions.
Participants and Activities
Four candidates from France, Chile, Germany, and the Netherlands reached final interview stages with their respective companies. Meanwhile, five startups from diverse countries took part in the event: India: mistEO, Latvia: SEPSISCAN & EdSyl, Turkey: Karma and from Brazil: Neodata Media. The startups enjoyed events like the Startup Tampere Showcase, pitched their companies to investors and learned about the local startup services. All participants also explored Tampere’s attractions, from Pyynikki to Vapriikki, and got a taste of the local cuisine.
Success and Media Coverage
Media from De Telegraaf and Computable covered the event, enhancing Tampere’s global profile. One talent has already been hired by Troll VFX, and we look forward to more success stories and startups relocating to Tampere, inspired by last year's success with Başar Kaya, and his MentalUP startup.
"Experience Tampere" week highlighted the city's appeal as a hub for international talent and innovation, promising continued growth for our vibrant city.
