CHALLENGES 2021
Innovation
City of Vantaa
The city of Vantaa has established a food cluster in 2019 to support local companies and to promote the vision to become the Urban food capital by 2025. You can read more about the cluster activities like Vantaa-menu: https://www.businessvantaa.fi/vantaamenu/. However, Covid19-pandemic has closed the restaurants and forced producers and shops to invent new ways of making business. We want these new products and initiatives to be easily accessible to all citizens of Vantaa and travelers, too – first from the nearby areas but also later for international tourists visiting the Helsinki-Vantaa airport.
The city of Vantaa wants to support its food related companies and we want you to help us.

Superlaiffi Oy
Our Sport Friend platform was originally developed to reduce loneliness and increase community spirit. With the corona crisis, a new branch of business around tourism emerged, based on the same idea.
With a travel community app Meet & Greet, you give your business providers and end users the chance to interact – both with your brand and with each other. The app gives users an easy way to find the services they need in their target countries. Business owners reaching customers in a new agile way. You give them a safe and private place to get exclusive content, offers and you will get the opportunity to use exactly the services you need.
We are looking for new ideas and models how this can be developed.
Innovation
Lidl Suomi
What kind of feedback culture does Generation Z wish for? Our aim is to find out what kind of feedback culture does Generation Z wish for in work life. What amount of feedback is enough and which ways should the feedback be given? Retail industry offers a first job experience for many young people, and it is very common for students to work part-time at Lidl stores while completing their studies. A big part of our store managers represent an older generation – how could we train our store managers to give feedback according to Generation Z’s wishes?
