Urban Imaginarium Afterwork is an official Imagine 2025 side event, bringing together founders, investors, builders, creatives, and city shapers for bold ideas, cold drinks, and sharp conversations on the future of urban life. About Imagine Imagine 2025 is a two-day event in Tampere, Finland (May 27–28), bringing together startups and city decision-makers from the USA, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, the UK, Turkey, and Finland to explore the future of urban innovation – also known as the ‘Cityverse’. Startups working in mobility, safety, citizen engagement, or sustainability can showcase their solutions and connect directly with city leaders, investors, and industry experts to spark real-world pilot projects. The event features pitching opportunities at the Founder Stage and Innovation Lounges, along with a matchmaking platform for 1:1 meetings. Imagine 2025 is organised by the City of Tampere with the support of BABLE Smart Cities, Business Tampere, Platform6, Startup.Tampere, ArcticStartup Events, and Tech Nordic Advocates. About the afterwork Urban Imaginarium Afterwork is an official Imagine 2025 side event — and a crowd favourite for good reason. Held at Platform6, Tampere’s buzzing startup house, it’s where the day’s speakers, attendees, founders, investors, corporates, policy-makers, and ecosystem builders all end up once the main stage lights go down. It’s easygoing and electric — rooftop views at sunset, ice-cold drinks, and classic hot dogs (because some things are sacred). A few quick welcome words, then you’re off — into conversations that actually matter, and meetings you didn’t plan but are glad happened. On the soundtrack: DJ Sami, local legend and trusted curator of all things groove, soul, and glitter. When the time’s right (and it always is), karaoke kicks off — loud, off-key, and kind of perfect. It’s the kind of night where Tampere shows its true colours. Come for the vibe. Stay for the chaos. Programme 17:00 Doors open, welcome drinks. 17:30 – 17:45 Welcome words from the organisers. 17:45 – 20:00 DJ Sami, drinks, food, karaoke, rooftop views and fantastic networking opportunities 20:00 Event ends (an unofficial afterparty from 20:00 – Place TBA) You are invited!
