City-sized testbed

Testbed Helsinki is a city-sized testbed for testing new products and services in genuine urban environments. We carry out innovation projects and sector-specific programmes, and we also offer piloting opportunities for companies.

We make Helsinki a trailblazer in circular economy

Circular economy is an opportunity both to increase innovation and business and to promote climate objectives. In addition to the City, the participants of the City of Helsinki’s Circular Economy Cluster Programme include companies, research institutions, institutions of higher education and other partners.

The Circular Economy Cluster focuses on construction in particular, as the City of Helsinki plays a strong role as a client, developer and builder. Together, we promote the testing, development and piloting of innovations linked to circular economy in a genuine operating environment.
