The City of Espoo and Digiole join forces to boost innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem with data sharing

​The City of Espoo and Digiole, a ​Helsinki-based tech company providing world leading digital interoperability solutions for the innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem landscape, have formed a strategic collaboration to drive innovation and entrepreneurship in the city through data sharing. The collaboration aims to set up the right foundations towards a data-driven environment that will facilitate the development of high growth businesses and foster economic growth.

The City of Espoo will leverage Digiole's expertise in the intersection of innovation entrepreneurship ecosystem development and data-driven models to design and implement data sharing strategies and solutions that will benefit businesses and entrepreneurs. The collaboration will also explore new and innovative ways to use data to drive innovation and growth, while Digiole will provide guidance and support throughout the process to shortlist and prioritise the different data sharing use cases.

Digiole sees collaboration with the City of Espoo as a chance to positively impact the local business community. We're eager to join forces with the city and leverage data sharing to foster innovation and support business growth. Furthermore, we plan to showcase this partnership worldwide as a model for other cities to follow. 

Some of the benefits of initiating this data sharing journey for ecosystems are:

• Matching supporting services, events and support, more timely and accurately with the actual needs of entrepreneurs, startups and growing companies.
• Avoiding customers having to always explain their company, what they do, what they need, etc., each time they interact with a different service within the ecosystem.
• Enabling startups and growing companies to navigate the ecosystem faster and more precisely.
• Improving the volume, quality and velocity of customer/service interactions and processes within the ecosystem.

The collaboration with the City of Espoo will commence immediately and the first initiatives are expected to be unveiled in the coming months.
