In this episode of the Startup.Tampere Podcast, we sit down with startup ecosystem researcher Tommi Uitti to unpack the newest insights from the 2025 Tampere Startup Survey. 
With three years of longitudinal data, Tommi walks us through how Tampere’s startup scene is evolving—its strengths, blind spots, and the trends shaping its future.

Here’s what you’ll discover: 

• How AI and deep tech are becoming core drivers of the ecosystem 
• The growing impact of university-driven spin-offs and research-based companies 
• Where Tampere startups are going globally: US, Germany, Nordics, or Southern Europe? 
• Funding maturity: 50% already generating revenue, yet Series A remains a key hurdle 
   

This episode offers more than data. It’s a thoughtful conversation about the future: 
AI adoption, deep tech community-building, strengthening university–startup ties, and unlocking the “first customer” challenge that so many founders face.

Whether you’re a founder, investor, policymaker, or simply curious about Tampere’s innovation landscape, this episode delivers valuable clarity and inspiration. Tune in and bring these insights into your work, your team, or your next entrepreneurial step.
