TAMK Living Lab

TAMK Living Lab focuses on promoting health and wellbeing, business, and technology together with learning and creativity. In addition to the significant role as a higher education institution, TAMK conducts high-quality practical, cross-disciplinary research, development, and innovation projects jointly with all quadruple helix partners. These projects specifically emphasise the social, environmental, and economic impact on individuals, communities, and societies. One of the main focuses is profound expertise on human capacity development and training, especially in the fields of digital skills and competences. TAMK believes that young people are the best asset for the future. Talented students are integrated in Living Lab activities in many ways, collaborating closely with the public sector, companies, or other organizations, and innovatively solving their problems and challenges
