Welcome to the first networking meeting of the Turku Region Smart Production actors on October 24, 2025, from 13:00 to 15:30!
The Smart Production Network brings together companies and higher education institutions in the Turku region that invest in or are interested in smart production. The goal of the network is to promote the development of smart solutions as well as collaboration between local actors. The network aims to meet about four times a year with those able to participate.
The network also enables advocacy related to the operating environment of the field and the formation of common messages. We would also like to hear from you how Business Turku can best support companies in developing this theme in the region.
