This article is a collaboration between Helsinki Partners and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. The cities of Tokyo and Helsinki actively work towards improving sustainable development and urban well-being. Both support the growth and demonstration of startups in the smart city field, which led to Tokyo and the City of Helsinki implementing a joint project.

In the project, five startup companies from Tokyo visited Helsinki as part of a city delegation and gained a deeper understanding of Helsinki's innovation ecosystem and its piloting platform, Testbed Helsinki. One of the startups was selected to pilot their unique power-generating solution in Helsinki. This article will share information about the collaboration between Tokyo and Helsinki and about startup piloting opportunities in the capital of Finland.
