Know Your Hoods® is a neighborhood portal with a variety of functions. Potential residents can compare different cities and neighborhoods through our search engine to find the best place to settle in. The current residents, in turn, can rate and review their neighborhoods and read blogs about different activities in the area.

Know Your Hoods® helps municipalities to communicate their appeal in a human-centric and inspiring way. We are already cooperating with more than ten municipalities of different sizes in Satakunta and Southwest Finland, and welcome further partners! Get to know the service at hoods.fi.

Mobiililuotsi is a mobile app (PWA), designed to promote social integration. With this app new residents can find information relevant to their life situation, and useful public and private services. Mobiililuotsi also works as a tool for municipal service workers to guide customers towards the right services.

A pilot version of Mobiililuotsi has been tested in Vakka-Suomi together with Ukipolis Oy. The app utilizes Open Data, which allows for a fast and cost-efficient deployment to other municipalities in Finland in the future. The next stage of the pilot is planned for the spring of 2022 and will connect the service to the nationwide AuroraAI-network. Try out Mobiililuotsi by downloading it from the link mobiililuotsi.fi.

My Mobile Tutor is a mobile app (PWA) designed for college and university students. It welcomes students to their new home city, giving them a good impression of the new locale. The app streamlines the search for different services by providing information about the campus, city, events, and places to eat (unsurprisingly, one of the most popular categories!).

My Mobile Tutor has been in use by the University of Turku since 2018. Work is underway to expand the app to six European universities, which it is hoped will encourage student mobility. The app will be launched in April 2022. Would you like to try a demo version of My Mobile Tutor?
