The Tampere Region, the second largest region in Finland, is a modern concentration of industry, commerce, services and education. The region provides its residents with opportunities of work and prosperity, good traffic connections and attractive living conditions in an environment that combines the centrally located towns with clean nature and rural landscapes close at hand. The region is divided into 8 sub-regions, which consist of 33 municipalities. There are 10 towns in the region. The land area of the region is 14,300 km2 and there were 447,000 inhabitants at the beginning of 2000.
The Tampere Region is the heartland of Finnish industry: wood processing and mechanical engineering have always been the prominent fields of the area. Rising fields are information technology and health care technology. Other important fields are the food and textile industries as well as the rubber and chemical industries. The development of industry, business activity, education and culture is supported by the University of Tampere, the Tampere University of Technology, the polytechnics and over 30 vocational institutions. Technology and new media centres create scopes for new innovative business ideas.
As regards culture, leisure, conferences, exhibitions and tourism, the Tampere Region offers services of a high international standard. There are also various opportunities to explore glittering lakes, rugged forests and lush valleys of the cultural landscape.
