Warmly welcome to the Urban Mobile Robotics project kick-off event. The project develops mobile robotics solutions for the real-world environmental maintenance and data collection challenges of the City of Helsinki. The project offers a direct pathway into the global robotics market, growing at an annual rate of nearly 20% – and for selected pilots, up to €150,000 worth of development resources.

In the program:

• Opportunities offered by the project for businesses
• Demos: land, air, and water robots in action
• International keynote
• Launch of the challenge competition and workshop for shaping piloting challenges
  
  How we support businesses:
  
• You will receive information about the acute challenges of the City of Helsinki.
• You will become part of a network: robotics companies, investors, and funders.
• You will gain visibility, references, and networks to support internationalization.
• For selected pilots: €150,000 worth of development resources, including a three-person robotics team and tests in RoboGarage.
• Opportunity to pilot solutions in a real urban environment.

The event is organized by Forum Virium Helsinki and Metropolia University of Applied Sciences. We offer participants morning coffee, lunch, and access to Heureka’s exhibition!
