Turku - always new
Turku will boldly renew itself and grow in the coming years, and its key goals are to promote its residents’ well-being and activeness and competitive business life sustainably. At the same time, Turku wants to bear its responsibility for the competitiveness and success of the whole city region. The city’s vitality and growth must be built on an ecologically, socially and economically sustainable foundation.
Turku increases competitiveness
The city offers the business world and companies a competitive and businessfriendly operating environment and promotes its continuous development and renewal in cooperation
with different operators.
City of students and science
We will strengthen the city’s position as an international university city by developing a central campus and science park area, which will provide students and the business world with an attractive and inspiring
environment that facilitates networking.
Great location – logical choice
Turku is located in the northern growth zone, which stretches from Stockholm to St Petersburg via Turku and Helsinki, and the city wants to increase the dynamics of the zone. This requires functional land, sea and air connections, which is something the city is investing in improving further.
Turku grows sustainably
We are looking at larger regional entities in urban planning. We will incorporate smart digital services and innovative energy and transport solutions into the planning and realisation of new ambitiously implemented residential areas surrounding the city. We can reduce the need to travel for services and reduce the carbon footprint by increasing digital self-service options.
Better service with digitalisation
The safety and the smooth running of daily life for the residents are constantly improved by utilising proactive data and researched information. The city’s aim is to be an international forerunner in the digital platform economy that is based on the utilisation of data.
