The most current issues in Congress Oulu you will find here.
Congress
Oulu has a service Meet Oulu Hitech technology visits that offers
services to business travellers.
Various delegations of technology experts
weekly get in contact with technology companies, the university, the
city and other organisations in Oulu. These delegations are interested
in the recipe for success pursued by Oulu and its hitech companies.
The service for business travellers, Meet Oulu Hitech technology
visits, lowers the threshold of visiting high technology
companies because the main focus of the service is on business visits.
26 hitech companies in and around Oulu have launched a co-operation
contract with Congress Oulu to introduce their operations to visitors.
These visits are a part of the companies’ communications plan and
this way they expect to find new business associates from all around
the world.
In
addition to the company visits, it is also possible to visit public
organsations such as the City of Oulu, Oulu University, Oulu
Polytechnic, Oulu Chamber of Commerce and the Council of Oulu Region.
Furthermore, in addition to organising business visits, the service
includes organising accomodation, restaurant and transportation
services as well as providing various entertainment and leisure
services.
In
conclusion organising business visits, which previously employed the
staff of public organisations, has now been centralised in one place.
In practise congress organiser Congress Oulu of Oulu City Tourist
Services has the responsibility of organising the visits.
Meet Oulu Hitech
technology visits has been developed by a Oulu City Tourist Services
project that was financed by the City of Oulu as well as European
Regional Development Fund and the Regional Council of Northern
Ostrobothnia. Oulu Region Centre of Expertise has also been involved
in financing the project.
