In a knowledge-based economy the future of cities increasingly depends on the presence of universities, their industry partners, talent and (start-up) businesses. The relationship between (technology) campuses and cities was a central theme in Flavia Curvelo Magdaniel’s doctoral research, which was defended and published in September 2016. During her PhD study she collected data of thirty-nine technology campuses, which we – as her promotor and copromotor – considered worth a spin-off publication. This publication “Campuses, cities and innovation” contains descriptions of 39 international cases that accommodate tech- based research activities. These case descriptions (in part B) are introduced with background information about concepts and methods (in part A) and reflected upon in conclusions and recommendations (in part C). Based on our experience - after more than twenty years of campus research at TU Delft – we identified a demand for case- study references to support decision making at both universities and municipalities. TU Delft’s campus research team aims at generating management information on all campus levels: from the changing academic workplace and new concepts for university buildings to the sustainable campus and the knowledge city. This book is part of a book series that combines insights from theory with references from practice, to contribute to smarter campus management. With a large amount of facts, figures and maps this book “Campuses, cities and innovation” is relevant for board members and (campus) management staff at universities as well as policy makers at municipalities and regional authorities. Additionally, decision makers of industry partners, (start-up) businesses and (other) members of the campus community could be interested in comparing their campuses with world-wide examples. “Innovation is what happens when preparation meets opportunity” was one of the propositions that Flavia Curvelo Magdaniel defended in September 2016. With this book we wanted to take the opportunity to support the preparation process and hope to stimulate innovation. prof. ir. Hans de Jonge dr. ir.

Abstract Does a high-tech economy create fundamentally different places to other employment areas? This paper proposes a typology of small to medium scale high technology districts in terms of their physical environments rather than their economic features (which is the more common basis of such classifications). It defines a set of recognizable high tech places: corridors, clumps, cores, comprehensive campuses, tech subdivisions, and scattered tech sites.

  • The Dissolving Corporation
    THE DISSOLVING CORPORATION Contemporary Architecture and Corporate Identity in Finland Peter MacKeith www.eva.fi EVA´s homepage contains reports, articles and other material in Finnish and in English. Publisher: Taloustieto Oy Cover: Antti Eklund Printing: Yliopistopaino 2005 ISBN 951-628-424-8 PREFACE In the past few years, the Finnish Business and Policy Forum EVA has treated the issues of creativity and business-culture interaction with growing interest. This report is an extension of the June, 2004 EVA conference on “Creativity through Competitiveness” and is published in co-operation with the Creative Finland Association. Entertaining a subject quite different from past EVA report themes, this essay offers one perspective on the state of Finnish corporate architecture within the more general context of corporate management practices and ar- chitectural innovations. In this report, Professor Peter MacKeith argues that in the contempora- ry moment of global, open-market economies, Finnish architecture is at a critical juncture. This condition is reflected precisely in recent headquarters architecture produced by Finnish corporations. Whereas a hundred years ago corporate headquarters were central elements of the surrounding cultural and urban environment, expressing values of the emerging national consciousness, today’s Finnish corporate headquar- ters have adopted a style of neutrality and anonymity, and situated themselves outside of the public realm. Professor MacKeith calls for a corporate architecture that takes into account issues of sustainable de- velopment and the corporation’s relationship to the society, culture and civic realm in which it is physically situated. Along with the desired image and values communicated by a building’s form to the outside world, corporate office planning has also adopted new objectives.

  • Juniper and HERE Mapping the Future of Indoor Location Services Companies That Can Take Advantage of Indoor Location Have a Leg up on the Competition
    SOLUTION BRIEF | JUNIPER AND HERE Juniper and HERE Mapping the Future of Indoor Location Services Companies that can take advantage of indoor location have a leg up on the competition. They can elevate the mobile experience, resulting in improved service, better user satisfaction, streamlined operations, and more. Juniper partnered with HERE to facilitate the deployment of indoor location services. More specifically, HERE’s map software works seamlessly with Juniper’s wireless platform to deliver high accuracy, low latency indoor wayfinding and virtual beacon proximity services. HERE INDOOR MAPS AND INDOOR WAYFINDING A comprehensive set of tools permits HERE Technologies to produce indoor maps, quickly and at scale, keeping costs down to a minimum, resulting in highly competitive pricing. To get started, building owners provide floorplans of their indoor spaces in a variety of formats (e.g. CAD, PDF, SHP). HERE uses these to extract geometry and labels and add routing graph information, including any directionality and maneuver restrictions such as inside parking garages. Finally, connections are added between the building’s entrances and exits and street segments outside. In the last few years, HERE has generated indoor maps for over 25,000 venues around the world. For Juniper Mist™ Systems and our mutual customers, the steps to integrate with HERE include: • Uploading your building’s floor plan (CAD or PDF file) for processing • Importing the map into Juniper Mist to build on their wireless platform • Integrating the Juniper Mist location technology with the HERE SDK to show real-time indoor positioning and develop wayfinding capabilities To learn more about HERE, please visit www.here.com and 360.here.com.

Helsingin yliopiston Opiskelijakirjasto www.opiskelijakirjasto.lib.helsinki.fi [email protected] INTRODUCTION_______________________ Understanding Nokia's explosive growth okia is nothing less than a national institution in Finland because of its contribution to the national economy and its long history, but the keen interest in the company today stems more from its recent N success as Finland's first real world-class corporation. Yet this global role has been achieved so quickly and so quietly that the story of Nokia's rise to world prominence is little understood. Outsiders are fascinated by the Nokia story, as am I, and I shall tell it from my historian's perch in a way that provides a clear and complete record, focussing especially on the past 25 years. In the opening three chapters I attempt to answer some of the most frequently asked questions about the company, with a more detailed account to follow in later chapters. Links are indicated in the text for quick reference to the detailed story. Unlike many other published articles, books and studies of Nokia, this history was made possible in large part by unlimited access to documents in Nokia's files, most of them confidential until now. As a historian and researcher, I have applied academic rigor to these and all other sources of information.
