Tampere's Challenge: Urban Security & Business Vitality Challenge
Imagine the Citiverse Challenge: Innovative data-driven solutions for urban safety and business vitality

Urban security is more important than ever. As cities grow and evolve, ensuring safety while fostering a thriving business environment is a pressing challenge. With rapid technological advancements and increasing expectations from residents and businesses, cities must take a proactive, data-driven approach to safety and security. Our vision is to enable the world’s safest city—a place where people and businesses can flourish without concerns about security.

We are looking for solutions that enhance overall urban security and strengthen business vitality by integrating multiple data sources, leveraging advanced analytics and AI methods, and actively engaging both residents and businesses.

To improve safety and the business environment, we seek solutions that:

  • Collect and analyze data from various sources, such as sensors, pedestrian and traffic flows, crime statistics, and other urban environment metrics.
  • Detect anomalies and anticipate risks, such as potential safety threats, disruptions, or patterns related to crime and public disturbances.
  • Actively engage local businesses and residents to ensure the solutions provide value to different user groups and support sustainable urban development.

The solutions should combine technological innovation with community participation, offering a comprehensive, data-driven, and community-inclusive approach to making the city safer, more attractive, and economically vibrant. We are looking for forward-thinking partners whose solutions can enhance security and bring tangible value to the urban environment.
