About us

Technopolis was founded in Oulu, Finland in 1982. It all began when a circuit board factory got together with some electronics and service companies. They moved into an old dairy in downtown Oulu and decided to start a new company called Oulun Teknologiakylä Ltd. Now it’s over 35 years later, but a key part of the Technopolis DNA has remained the same: We build communities.

Technopolis is an ambassador of the shared economy approach and has provided companies with offices and shared spaces in order to create lively and innovative communities. Today, a thriving network of companies and organizations of various shapes and sizes are based on our campuses.

Our coworking concept, UMA Workspace, was established in 2016. UMA Workspace offers professional coworking spaces in central business districts and capital cities within the Nordic and Baltic regions.

Technopolis shares were listed on the Helsinki Stock Exchange from 1999 to 2019 but were delisted after the public tender offering by Kildare Partners in fall 2018.

We believe in more than squares. At Technopolis, you benefit from a world-class customer experience that combines all-inclusive offices, a shared service platform, and coworking. Whatever happens, you can call on a dedicated contact person to help out with any request you might have.

You have told us that our concept is a successful one. In 2019, the customer satisfaction rating was 4.1/5, with a Net Promoter Score of 34. Our 10-year average financial occupancy rate is over 94%.
