Espoo – Finland in miniature
Espoo, located on the south coast of Finland with its stunning archipelago, offers a mix of urban life and natural beauty. It’s a hub for business, innovation, and research, making it an ideal location for academic conferences. The city features a 40-kilometre-long Waterfront Walkway, providing opportunities for relaxation and exploration. Espoo’s vibrant cultural scene includes events, shopping, and various activities.
In the north, you’ll find untouched nature and wilderness, with Nuuksio National Park and the Lakeland area offering a perfect setting for outdoor activities, team building, and meetings. The region is also home to charming manor houses, picturesque countryside, and vast outdoor spaces.
Destination Espoo and Otaniemi
City of Espoo is part of the Helsinki Metropolitan Area. It is the second largest and the fastest growing city of Finland. Its location adjacent to the capital Helsinki means excellent transportation links: Helsinki Airport is just a half an hour drive away and the metro connects Espoo to Helsinki city centre.
Espoo is the largest high-tech and innovation hub in the Nordics where science, business, and culture meet the wilderness of Nuuksio National Park and a stunning seaside environment. The city’s innovative spirit, Aalto University, technology hub Otaniemi, and international companies receive continuous interest from science, research and business professionals as well as investors worldwide.
Espoo is also a major conference city: it hosts an average of 70 international scientific conferences every year.
