Contribute and support sustainable change!
Join Sprint Innovation Festival as a partner!
The Sprint Innovation Festival is an event and a course during which students from various fields of higher education in Tampere work in teams, closely cooperating with partners from the working life. The main goals of Sprint are to develop sustainable solutions for business and society and to enhance students’ entrepreneurial and innovation skills.

The event in 2025
The theme for 2025 is “Humane and Sustainable Working Life.” This is a subject we are passionate about, and we recognize that it is a pressing topic for our students as well as for organizations that want to play a key role in building a more humane society.
The Sprint kick-off will be organized online on March 5th, 2025, followed by an online working period from March 6 to March 10. We will be live on campus (TAMK) from Tuesday, March 11, until Friday, March 14, which is the Final Day.
