First joint safety simulation was a success! 

The first safety and security simulation was organized on June 10th, which had an impressive turnout - almost 50 professionals from the police, Finnish Red Cross, Pirkanmaa Rescue Department, emergency response centre, prehospital care and social work unit participated The simulation that engaged so many organisations and officials was the first of its kind, and it really paid off. The professionals had a genuine opportunity to discuss about and explain their processes in case of emergency and see how the processes go in line with other officials operating in the same emergency. Feedback was collected from the participants and it will be carefully analysed for the second simulation that will be in January 2022. 

Agile experiments are in full speed

The companies that were selected to do the agile experiments are Marshall AI, Top Data Science, Viria and Aeromon. 

The practical part starts during the summer by installing different sensors and measuring devices to different locations in the city centre.
