Savilahti – the future lives here
Our city centre is vibrant and located less than two kilometres from the centre is the Savilahti district, a unique campus of three levels of education. Approximately 20 000 future talents are studying or pursuing a postgraduate degree in Savilahti. Within this smart capital lies the future of our region.
Savilahti provides a platform for growth, development, experimentation, and inspiring living by a beautiful lake, responds to our future needs for living, working, and communicating. The area combines living, studying, working and leisure in a unique way. It is a place where you can live right next to your job and study opportunities and cherry-pick the pieces you need to build a good, balanced life for yourself.
This buzzing area is home to international companies that are leaders in their fields, and some of the more than a thousand international students in the city also live in the area. Companies give students opportunities to take part in inspiring work trials or even find a job. On the other hand, the companies benefit from having access to a fresh talent graduating from the educational institutions.
Not mentioning the opportunity to see beyond the obvious. There is always room for innovation and cross-sectional co-operation. We can easily say that Savilahti is a next-generation urban environment. The area has an abundance of positive curiosity and a fresh way of doing things, combined with rock solid expertise and research. Above all, it is an area whose story is co-written by residents and operators together.
The second most attractive city in Finland
In a survey examining internal migration within Finland, Kuopio was ranked the second most attractive city in the country with almost 123 000 inhabitants. What sets Kuopio apart from the competition are the quality factors of life, environmental factors, a reasonable cost level and friendly people. Our community is our strength, and we like our fellow citizens.
In Kuopio we believe in a good life that looks like you. For us, this consists of three elements – living, laughter and feeling good. It means a passion for life, flow and movement, smooth everyday routines. It means the freedom to make your own choices and live a life that looks like you, in an environment that suits you, in your own way.
Kuopio, and Savilahti within it, is a city with a strong passion for life and true drive for collaboration.
