Artikkelikuva: Open call: six themes for pilots to tackle challenges in cities

The FinEst Twins project is looking for innovative solutions to tackle challenges in data, mobility, smart governance, clean energy transition, built environment, and health & wellbeing. The call is open until March 17, 2025 at 16:00 (EET).

Data, mobility, smart governance, clean energy transition, built environment, and health & wellbeing; these are the focus areas of the FinEst Twins project’s open call, the mini-piloting programme. Challenges are provided by a variety of organizations engaged in supporting the operations during the piloting period. The second round of innovative pilots uses Helsinki as an urban laboratory, or a testbed, for the solutions.

A maximum of seven selected solutions will get the grant from this call and these will be implemented in the Helsinki region or in some cases potentially in Estonia during 2025. The total budget of the tender is a maximum of 70,000 euros (VAT 0%). The maximum cost of one pilot and the number of chosen pilots under each of the six focus areas depends on the challenge. The call is open until March 17, 2025 at 16:00 (EET).

FinEst Twins is a project funded by the European Union’s research and innovation programme, Horizon 2020. The project is expected to contribute to the development of smart, sustainable, and resilient cities by enhancing the cross-border collaboration between Finland and Estonia and establishing a world-class Smart City Centre of Excellence in Tallinn, Estonia. 

An information session about the mini-pilot program will be held on March 5, 2025. 

More information about the call can be found on the website of the open call.
