It’s time to accelerate HEVi’s impact towards the final years of the EU program. The Cities of Helsinki, Espoo and Vantaa are currently benchmarking the best European practices on monitoring and collaboration.
Despite being a frontrunner in digitalization, innovation and sustainability the Helsinki metropolitan area has some serious challenges, especially the slow economical growth and very high unemployment.
HEVi aims to help innovative growth oriented companies via various ecosystem activities. It is important also to better understand results and impact to be able to focus on the right development areas.
See our LinkedIn video presenting the current HEVinnovations portfolio facts and needs/opportunities for the international collaborations.
HEVi is a joint innovation programme by the cities of Helsinki, Espoo, and Vantaa, designed to strengthen innovation activities and networks across the Helsinki metropolitan area. The programme is based on an innovation ecosystem agreement with the Finnish government, through which the cities will develop an extensive project portfolio between 2021 and 2027. The projects are implemented between 2023 and 2029. The agreement promotes the strategic allocation of public and private RDI funding and supports the growth of globally competitive innovation ecosystems.
