Elisa is teaming up with Fazer, Helen, HUS, Kalmar and Yle to launch three Sustainable Future Accelerators and build new solutions to the pressing challenges of the future.
We are looking for startups with great teams, unique technology capabilities and who are prepared to scale.
The role of communication is ever-growing. We are looking for innovations in superb quality live video and other digital solutions, new technologies and device circularity to connect the physical and digital in a sustainable way.
Intelligent machines are here, and they come in different forms from consumer solutions to heavy-duty industrial machinery. We are looking for innovations related to smart homes and energy management, robotics, remote supervision and control of industrial machines.
New technologies and phenomena are changing both how entertainment is produced as well as how it is consumed. We are looking for innovations around the life’s micro-moments, AI and the possibilities of 5G, synthetic media and e-sports.

OhmniLabs is reinventing traditional robotics development and redefining telepresence for healthcare, education, senior care and work.
Elisa and OhmniLabs have worked together to develop a video robot for use on the COVID Ward to help nurses and Doctors interact with patients. The robot service is a product of the Sustainable Future Accelerator organized by Elisa and HUS and has already received positive feedback from hospital personnel.
Video robot connects nurse and patient with live video. Nurse can drive the robot inside patients´ room and ask how they are doing or if they need any assistance. Additionally, the robot can be used to perform night time inspection rounds in patient rooms. This reduces the risk of personnel being exposed to the virus.

We are mainly looking for startups which are ready to scale, scaling or experiencing high growth. However we are always willing to make exceptions!
This is heavily depending on the use case. However the focus is on making impact and we expect partners to be agile and committed.
There is a total of 60.000 EUR available for the ten startups. In the first sprint we make validations without funding. The cases which are strongly validated with customers will receive funding required to execute a PoC (agreed on a case by case basis). We will not provide funding all startups, only those with strong results.
