Open calls

You can find information on open and closed calls as well as innovation competitions on this page. The open calls are related to the main themes of our test platform activities – EdTech, Smart Mobility, Built Environment, Circular Economy, Health & Wellbeing – as well as to their enabling technologies. Open calls are coordinated by the Innovation Services of the City of Helsinki Economic Development department. You can also propose your own test idea to us by filling out the test proposal form.

A city as a test platform?

Companies and RDI actors can also reach out directly to the City of Helsinki to recommend their own solution for testing. We review proposals on a regular basis and aim to respond to them as soon as possible. The proposals are treated with confidentiality.

Circular economy cluster program invites concrete companies to an innovation challenge to test the utilisation of demolition wool in concrete production

There are still few possibilities for reusing buildings’ insulation mineral wool, and in Finland alone, up to 20,000 tonnes of mineral wool ends up in landfills a year. The City of Helsinki's circular economy cluster program is organising an innovation challenge for concrete companies, where companies can test the utilisation of wool powder made from demolition wool in the manufacture of concrete.

Get to know the testbed service paths

The City of Helsinki Testbed team and Futurice Oy worked together to design and visualise the service paths of economic development testing activities. The service paths were formulated separately for testing based on the City’s innovation challenges and company-driven experiments.
