Axon expands at Technopolis: New office supports innovative product development
Axon develops cutting-edge solutions for law enforcement and the security sector – from body-worn cameras to drones and intelligent software. The company’s camera-focused unit in Tampere has been a Technopolis customer for over seven years. In spring 2025, the team moved into larger, fully customized offices on the Yliopistonrinne campus to meet its evolving needs.
Challenge
Axon’s Tampere team grew rapidly, and the old office had become too small for daily work. In addition, the team’s product development required a windowless image-quality laboratory, which called for a completely modifiable, empty space.
Solution
Technopolis tailored and fully renovated larger premises for Axon on the same campus. The new office offers more workstations and meeting rooms, as well as laboratory conditions that enable top-tier product development. The move within the campus, from one office space to another, went smoothly, without rush or unnecessary hassle.
“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.
Case Axon
New premises provide the perfect setting for imaging technology development
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.
Technopolis is a reliable partner in everyday operations
According to Alakarhu, smooth day-to-day operations are one of the reasons Axon continues to thrive at Technopolis year after year. The services run reliably, help is available quickly, and the environment supports versatile work.
"This office is truly impressive and feels like us, and now we have much more space to work. It’s quiet, with excellent acoustics, which makes creative work pleasant and free from distractions. I think the reception services work flawlessly, and the cleaning is, as always, first-rate. All in all, Technopolis offers an optimal workspace solution for us in Tampere, and we’re very happy to be their client,” Alakarhu concludes.
