TiLA! connects Aalto University’s top expertise in research, art and entrepreneurship with the City of Espoo’s entrepreneurship and cultural ecosystem. In Espoo, driving change is based on radical interdisciplinary collaboration, shared goals, proximity, trust, and the promotion of well-being:

  • The biggest challenges are solved by taking a holistic view and working together.
  • New ideas emerge in diverse groups. The broader the range of disciplines and questions, the more ingenious and transformative the solutions.
  • Trust and close collaboration deliver the best results. We want to work quickly and easily with experts from different fields.

In Espoo, companies, research and the creative industries explore new ideas with curiosity and build solutions together. The creative industries generate diverse, intangible value; creative expertise is also essential wherever new business is created: in product development, service design and communications.
