Urban Mill

Urban Mill / Startup Sauna outside Helsinki is definition of new cool. Laidback, anarchistic, hipster incubator lab next to Aalto, the major tech university. Anyone can get in and hang around, desks are available on a “first come first served” basis. Old factory buildings, high roof and no walls. Open space – in every possible meaning.
Active Life Village in Urban Mill, Helsinki
We knew immediately that this was a perfect location for one of our smart home labs. Urban Mill is defined as a “co-working and co-creation platform prototype for urban innovation”, sporting several initiatives that fit perfectly with ours. ActiveLife Village is all about wellbeing for senior citizens, lots of wireless home solutions and technology. Asema is doing great stuff in smart energy management. We can create a really cool cluster of companies out there, allowing developers to innovate in even more sectors than we had imagined.
