Axon expands at Technopolis: New office supports innovative product development

“We’ve been a Technopolis customer for over seven years, and in May 2025 we moved into larger offices under the same roof. Our old office had simply become too small, and we needed more space and workstations. Fortunately, there was a suitable larger space available on the same campus, which was essentially renovated from the ground up for us,” says Juha Alakarhu, Vice President of Imaging at Axon.

In addition to the comprehensive renovation, which also included new surfaces, a large laboratory was built in the heart of the new office. The office space was tailored specifically to meet Axon’s needs – for example, the windowless area supports the special requirements of image-quality testing.

“We’ve found Technopolis to be a very flexible partner. When we began planning the move, we discussed different options and timelines together. Technopolis provided great practical support, handling the subcontractors, interior designers, and contractors. Overall, the move went smoothly and without pressure,” Alakarhu explains.

Nordea operates on three floors at Technopolis. The phone customer service and expert unit are located on the 5th floor, customer service and main operations are on the 6th floor, and additional space is used on the 3rd floor. Nordea has gained special added value from the wide range of meeting rooms that are available on the Yliopistonrinne campus, which provide excellent support for organising customer events, for example.

"Even though we operate on multiple floors, the facilities have been carefully selected with business needs as the top priority. There are both quiet and other diverse workspaces available for every employee. At Technopolis, we don't need to include meeting facilities in our own office space. Instead, we can rent meeting rooms on the campus from the reception. We have used this service to organise events for customers and personnel, for example," Koivunen says.
