Session 1: Fostering innovation-driven entrepreneurship (Vaunukamari 1)
Three phases of the entrepreneurial life cycle are part of a new model for understanding how stakeholders can better
support serial entrepreneurs in Europe: 1) Stand up – Promoting the attitudes and skills required to mobilize
Europeans with the desire and the ability to create scalable entrepreneurial ventures; 2) Start up – Gathering the
resources to start up a business, with particular focus on access to capital for entrepreneurs across the European
Union, 3) Scale up – Enabling ventures to scale, with particular focus on collaborations between entrepreneurs and
large corporations that simultaneously improve the innovation capacity of both partners to create growth and jobs
across the region. In this session, four views on the scale-up” phase are presented, which according to World
Economic Forum, is the phase, where European entrepreneurs are at a disadvantage to counterparts in North
America in the entrepreneurial life cycle.

Session 2. Internet of Things for renewing industries (Vaunukamari 1)
Internet of Things is a key enabler for Smart City. IoT technologies enable intelligent services for the
citizens, smart transport and mobility, and are essential for the connected health services, and help in
reducing energy consumption and waste. But this is not all, IoT and its sister concept Industrial Internet
are behind the disruption named as “Third industrial revolution”. They are essential for the
competitiveness of companies and the most significant source of economic growth and employment in
years to come. What will the Third industrial revolution bring to companies, local authorities, research
and education – and what should we do about it? Join us in the interesting session about IoT renewing
the industries.

Session 3: Open and agile smart cities (Vaunumaakari 2)
Open & Agile Smart Cities - connecting cities with open data, open interfaces and open processes. Cities across the
globe are looking for ways to spur open innovation. Innovation is needed to overcome the digital transition of cities, and it
needs to be open to include a variety of stakeholders of the whole urban community, and to establish a competitive but
attractive market for developers, increasing quality and avoiding vendor lock-ins. One city is not a market, however. A
sizable market consists of cities in several countries, or a continent. We need global "de facto“ standards for portability
and interoperability to create a true global market for smart city services, so that developers can start investing in civic
technologies and public-private innovation partnerships. To achieve this, 31 cities from 7 countries (and counting) have
joined forces under the Open & Agile Smart Cities (OCAS) initiative. OASC kickstarts the use of a shared set of ways to
developing systems once and making them interoperable between cities across borders. Simple, functional and minimal
standard ways of accessing and exchanging data have the potential to boost up the speed of smart city innovations and
marketplace. The mechanisms used in OASC are pragmatic, simple and open: driven-by-implementation approach, open
APIs (FIWARE NGSI), open data models (CitySDK) and open data/API publication platforms (CKAN). In this highly
interactive session urban innovators are invited to discuss about opportunities of open urban development with the
experts from the European Commission, Open Knowledge Foundation and the OASC initiative.

Session 4: Smart city business models (Vaunumaakari 2)
The interactive session will focus on alternative and opportunity providing business
models employed in smart cities by the cities themselves or the different stakeholders
playing an active role in smart cities. Special attention is paid to ICT technology enabled
smart services’ and utilities’ business models, both currently used, alternative, or to be
developed for smart cities.

Session 5: Creative economy ecosystems (Kamarineuvos)
IF - the creative industries have been seen to become increasingly important to economic well-being,
proponents suggesting that "human creativity is the ultimate economic resource". AND - smart city uses
digital technologies to enhance performance and wellbeing, to reduce costs and resource consumption
and to engage more effectively and actively with its citizens. MOREOVER - key 'smart' sectors include
transport, energy, health care, water and waste. DO WE SEE - creative economy, ecosystems between
creative industries and these key sectors as a highway to Smart City?

Session 6: Citizen participation, crowdsourcing and social media (Kamarineuvos)
Crowdsourcing and social media - changing the decision making processes for companies as well as
for cities? Social media services and social intranets are widely used in engaging employees,
customers or citizens to participate in everything from product development to municipal decision
making. What's the situation in Finland? How and why to do it, pros and cons? Decision making
process are becoming open, see-through processes, rather than shady meeting rooms and behind
closed doors. Why and what does it mean?

remarkably: central terms of the new business logic are business and innovation ecosystems,
development platforms, technology adjacencies, value networks, crowdsourcing etc. As business logics
change, innovation policy must respond to this development and to the policy challenges posed by it by
changing considerably in the near future. Session focuses on the guidelines of this new innovation
policy.

Session 8: Living lab as an engine of growth (Kivitaneli)
Living lab is a user-centered, open-innovation ecosystem, often operating in a definite context,
integrating concurrent research and innovation processes within a public-private-people partnership”.
Despite its potential there are very rare cases where a living lab has become a sustainable innovation
service provider and an attractive partner to enterprises and municipalities. The challenges of living
labs to be discussed by the panelists are: How living labs are integrated to local innovation
ecosystems? How enterprises can benefit from living labs in their new business and product
introduction? How public procurement can benefit from living labbing? What service offering makes a
living lab attractive to enterprises? What are the key elements of sustainable living lab?

3D Cave theater and Organ hall in OUAS
Mon 4th May, 2015
Cave is place for presentations and in that sense kind of 3D Theater. It is ideal for 3D based
visualisations and very usable for different kind of construction and mechanical engineering and
design e.g. for big buildings, bridges, ships, industrial machinery or even power plants. With the
help of Cave equipment construction drawings can be visualized in a way that people are able to
understand. The newly opened Cave allows users to see objects apparently floating in the air,
and can walk around them, getting a proper view of what they look like in reality. The reality is
enhanced by using the 1:1 scale, high-quality 3D-modeling and the surround sound, where
needed.
The Organ Hall has been built especially for the organ. It is a very resonant space, which takes
the voiced characteristics of the instrument into account. The organ has two manuals and 21
stops. It has been built by Mr Martti Porthan. The organ is a stylistic copy of a similar sized
instrument built by the German master organ-builder Gottfried Silbermann and represents the
style of the 18th century. Silbermann organs have been regarded ideal for the music of Bach, but
also for other composers of the Baroque and early romantic eras.

Future-Power business simulation game
Mon 4th May, 2015
Future is all about action – Future–Power - Is your business in capable hands?
POHTO is a pioneer in the area of functional education. Good experiences with functional
learning led to the construction of the new Future-Power modeling environment. It is a unique
place to practice actual business operations and group processes as well as communication in a
realistic environment where people themselves are physically present. Future-Power visualizes
issues and phenomena that are hard to comprehend, so that they can be sensed, experienced,
and learned by doing.
Market oriented thinking and competence as well as connection between strategy and its
implementation in business development forms the basis in this business simulation. Participants
in the management training environment learn and practice, among other things, business
planning, implementation of strategic goals, operative management and leadership. The business
simulation can be modified to the needs of any company or business sector.
The new Future-Power expands analysis to include themes of managing the innovation process,
change, and the future. In business simulations, companies can ”pretest” the commercialization
of innovations, for example, before launching them on the market.
