Turku Science Park in a nutshell
The Science Park is already a popular hub for innovation and research, where internationally significant development work is carried out, particularly in the fields of green technology and health technology. The substantial investments to be made in the coming decades in the development of the area’s infrastructure, transport, business environment, and residential environment will make it one of the fastest-growing areas in the whole country.
Long-term investment potential
Turku Science Park offers diverse opportunities for long-term real estate investments. Construction is expected to continue until 2070; the vision includes major sub-projects and the comprehensive development of the entire 90-hectare area in terms of infrastructure, green areas, commercial premises, and residential construction.
Growth and development
The Science Park area is a significant center for growth in expertise and high-tech jobs, with a job growth rate that is among the highest in Finland. Vitality and population growth create natural conditions for a large-scale development project.
Transport system development
In the coming years, the City of Turku will make significant investments in the transport infrastructure of the Science Park area, enabling the development of the area through private investment. The planned improvements to the rail network will improve connections and increase demand for local real estate. Concentrating the city’s growth along high-capacity public transport routes supports sustainability.
Leading climate city
Turku’s goal is to be carbon neutral by 2029. The Science Park is a showcase for the circular economy and sustainable construction, and thus plays a significant role in achieving this goal. The green transition will bring investment and innovation to the area, and with them significant business opportunities.
Kupittaa Core shows the way forward
Kupittaa Core is the next major construction and development project in the Science Park area. The construction of the Kupittaa tip, extensive infrastructure projects, and other development in the area will create a significant number of new jobs. The possible implementation of a tram line will connect the Kupittaa area to the city center, increasing its accessibility and attractiveness, and developing the area’s transport solutions in a more sustainable direction.
In addition to significant public investment, the development of the area will attract private investment, which will support the creation of new jobs and increase the vitality of the area. Private investment and a growing population will increase purchasing power and tax revenue, creating a positive cycle that will improve the operating conditions for existing and new businesses in the area.
