Join the Ecosystem

For Project Owners

Build stronger consortia, identify relevant partners, and move from idea to a well-prepared application.

What the ecosystem offers project owners

Practical support for shaping collaborative projects with the right partners and a suitable funding path.

Preparing a strong project requires more than a good idea. It also requires a credible consortium, a suitable funding instrument, and enough coordination to move quickly when opportunities open.

Tampere AI supports project owners by connecting them with relevant companies, research organisations, and public sector actors, while also helping to clarify possible funding pathways and next steps.

How We Support Project Owners

Consortium building

We connect project owners with companies, research organisations, and public sector actors whose expertise supports the project’s goals and consortium needs.

Funding pathway guidance

We help assess which funding instruments may be relevant based on the project’s scope, stage, and partnership structure, and what preparation they may require.

From open call to application

When calls open, we support the process by helping activate relevant partners, shape the team, and move the application forward in a structured way.
