Urban development platforms

The City of Jyväskylä is investing heavily in building international-level business and workplace clusters, which focus on combining business and research activities, creating various piloting opportunities and international business. Excellent facilities and new housing solutions are included in every development project.

There are three urban development platforms: Hippos, Kangas and City Centre. In addition to this, the Eteläportti development project involves the construction of a modern digital service hub for the manufacturing industry. All projects involve private companies, educational institutions and research organisations as operators and investors.
