City of Turku and Siemens three-year cooperation

The cooperation will concentrate on realising concrete projects:

The cooperation will include, for example, information sharing and research related to sustainable development. The end result will be reports that are made public. Call for tenders relating to co-operation projects will always be held separately, according to public procurement regulations.
