Mioni Industrial Park

Mioni Startup Campus

Mioni Startup Campus, a member of the Mioni family, will be the first to launch. It will be located in the Mansikkala area. One option is Linnala school.

─ We have examined the premises. The school property can be repaired. It must be remembered that the property was never required to be demolished from the authorities. The recommendation of the indoor air working group was that it is not advisable to do the repair when there are users in the premises, Nurmi states.

Start-up entrepreneurs and employees are offered apartments from Pilkuja's student apartments, which will be underutilized due to the transfer of the university of applied sciences.

All start-up technology companies are welcome as tenants at Mioni Startup Campus. Based on the preliminary survey, there could be interest in such a business campus, especially in Russia.

─ There is already an agreement with one Russian start-up company. It is located in Imatra during the summer. Numerous inquiries have come from Russia. We will go to St. Petersburg to tell about Imatra's new opportunities next time on April 25.4, Nurmi says.
