Our innovation hubs provide a new way to learn, produce solutions and collaborate interdisciplinary on major phenomena or challenges for the benefit of society as a whole.
Collaborators, students and staff work together in innovation hubs on different platforms, such as the Virtual and Augmented Reality Center at the Helsinki XR Center, the urban indoor food platform in Urbanfarmlab or the operating environment providing solutions for well-being services. Metropolia Workshop is a unique and flexible project workspace for automotive and transportation product development projects. The collaborative space also serves as a base for road traffic experiments for automatic vehicles, such as robot buses. Metropolia also supports student entrepreneurship and operates as part of the startup ecosystem in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area through the Turbiini Accelerator.
