Tampere’s growth business community will gain a new accelerator as Crazy Town Pendoliino opens its doors in August 2025. The new community-oriented and modern Crazy Town Pendoliino brings together entrepreneurs, experts, and companies, offering an innovative environment for networking, business development, and growth. The establishment of the new Crazy Town unit was accelerated by the renovation starting at Rautatienkatu, where the Tampere community has operated since 2017.
The move of the local Crazy Town community to a new location is a physically short distance across the tracks, but a significant leap forward mentally, as it allows for the upgrading of facilities from access control to furnishings at the highest standards, and coincides with the broader launch of Crazy Town’s Growth and Innovation Services in the area.
Renovated and modern facilities as a community base and a new meeting space center for external visitors
Crazy Town Pendoliino combines an agile coworking space, private offices of various sizes, a wide range of meeting rooms, and diverse services that support the growth and collaboration of Crazy Town community members. The two-story premises feature flexible working solutions from individual workstations to larger team spaces, as well as versatile facilities for meetings, events, and training opportunities. The property is owned by the pension insurance company Elo.
“Crazy Town Pendoliino is designed specifically to support entrepreneurs and experts who seek a community-oriented and inspiring work environment. We want to provide a place where new ideas, partnerships, and growth opportunities emerge,” says Mikko Markkanen, entrepreneur at Crazy Town. “Pendoliino offers a vantage point for Tampere’s growth business community and for anyone wanting to join it.”
With the new Pendoliino unit, Crazy Town expands its operations in the Tampere area, bringing more options for collaboration and networking
The opening of Crazy Town Pendoliino is part of the broader launch of Crazy Town’s Growth and Innovation Services in the area. This year, we are renewing our ecosystem services in Tampere and will announce significant partners in the spring – who will open entirely new learning and development opportunities for the community. Well-known startup expert Tommi Uitti will also join Crazy Town’s Growth and Innovation Services team as a Tampere Ecosystem Specialist, strengthening our expertise in the area.
“The opening of Crazy Town Pendoliino is a logical next step in our growth story, where each growth center in Finland has its own Crazy Town unit and a thriving business cluster that supports the regional ecosystem,” sums up Markkanen in conclusion.
