The initiative is a significant one in the context of the strategic partnership between the University of Helsinki and the City. Viikki Campus is a hub of teaching and research in biological sciences, agriculture and forestry, as well as pharmacy and veterinary medicine. We are happy about this collaboration that will help us to develop Viikki Campus, known for top-level research, into a hub of innovation activity,” says Vice-Rector Tom Böhling, who is responsible for campus development at the University of Helsinki. Over the course of the project, to be launched in early 2021, an operating environment known as Viikki Innovation Platform will be established on the campus to support innovation activities. The goal is to increase research-based innovation activities by systematically bringing together students, researchers, startups and operators established in the field.
