For AI Providers

Develop, validate, and scale AI solutions through relevant customers, partners, and market opportunities.

What the ecosystem offers AI providers

A practical network for finding real use cases, relevant partners, and concrete growth opportunities.

Tampere AI connects AI solution providers with companies, researchers, and public sector actors working on real use cases. The ecosystem helps you identify relevant collaboration opportunities, access pilot environments, and increase visibility in the right contexts.

Whether you are developing a new solution or scaling an existing one, the value comes from relevant introductions, practical collaboration, and an ecosystem that understands both technology and industry needs.

How We Support AI Providers

Customer and partner introductions

We connect AI providers with companies and organisations whose needs align with their solutions. The aim is to enable relevant discussions and collaboration opportunities, not just visibility for its own sake.

International opportunities and market connections

Business Tampere’s export promotion activities and international networks support companies exploring selected markets. The ecosystem can help identify relevant opportunities and facilitate early market connections.

Visibility through events and communications

The ecosystem provides opportunities to present solutions in events, showcases, and communications aimed at organisations actively exploring AI use cases and collaboration.

Pilots and testbeds

Access to real-world testing environments, including urban infrastructure and other pilot settings, helps companies validate solutions before wider deployment.
