5. The Implementation Pathway for
Environments that Accelerate Sustainable
Growth (KETO)
Theproject will create threedevelopment environments inwhich different actors can jointly develop, implement and test new
sustainable solutions for challenges related to urban development, digitalization, traffic,energy and the circular economy.
Theco-creation indevelopment environments aims for newservices and products as well as diversified forms of business and
employment. Thesolutions created can then be sharedand used inother parts of Finland and abroad.

Cleantech Garden is a circular bioeconomy cluster bringing together education, research
and business under one roof.
7. The future of Kiviruukki and Kivenlahti area
7
The Cleantech Garden under development in Kiviruukki, Kivenlahti area of Espoo, will
become a prominent centre for global business, research and learning. The Cleantech
Garden campus offers multifunctional spaces to support innovation in the immediate
vicinity of Kivenlahti metro station.
8. Education meets business at Cleantech Garden

The campus area includes a wide range of research and office spaces designed for the clean tech
industry. In the heart of the campus rises the Garden, an open venue for all to explore innovations in
clean tech.
The leading themes of Cleantech Garden are mobile solutions, circular bioeconomy, sustainable
food system and carbon-neutral energy economy.

9. Developing Kiviruukki as a test
environment for a sustainable food
system and the utilization of materials
and by-products in the Helsinki
metropolitan area
Kiviruukki is an old industrial area developing into a versatile city
center for 9 000 residents and 3 000 jobs. Kiviruukki's component
master plan aims for 2040. Kiviruukki will have a nationally and
internationally unique Cleantech Garden innovation center for the
bio and circular economy. VTT Bioruukki, the largest bio- and
circular economy research institute in the Nordic countries,
already operates in the area.

• This seaside suburb located in West
Espoo with about 8,000 inhabitants is
expected to grow to 25,000 by 2050. West
Metro will connect Kivenlahti to other parts
of Espoo and Helsinki in 2023.
• Kivenlahti developments are served by
good public transport facilities (including the
metro by 2023) and also easy access by
car. Ferry connections to nearby islands are
operated during summer for recreational
activities.
• Distance from Helsinki centre to
Kivenlahti is 30 minutes by metro.
14. Living labs
• KETO-project approach to Living Labs its
a open innovation ecosystems, in which
the role of Omnia Living Lab Networks is
to integrate education, R&D and regional
development.
• We also defines its Living Labs as real-
life environments, both inside Omnia
(such as campuses, or Restaurat
Henricus), and outside, such as public
libraries, hospitals and urban districts.
