We develop our services based on experimental culture and co-creation. This means that the city opens doors and invites all stakeholders of municipal services from companies to associations, research institutions and residents to refine old services and innovate new ones together. The inclusive slogan of Espoo co-creation is “Make with Espoo”.</p><p>One of the main values for City Espoo, Finland, is equality: we want to ensure equal possibilities for all learners to apply and practice digital skills.</p><p>We are looking for digital solutions for all school grades. We will score the solutions based on their relevance to schools and to Espoo.</p><p><br /><span style="font-size:19px;color:#000000"><strong>Challenge Phases & Timeline</strong></span></p><p>All times are in (EEST), Helsinki time zone.</p><p></p><p>*DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION EXTENDED*</p><p>1.
