This association of businesses in central Tampere has been active since 1965 and works to make the city centre an ever more attractive place. It markets the centre under the Rakas Tampere (“Dear Tampere”) brand, and member businesses have their pages on the rakastampere.fi site.
Members get help with running a city-centre business, along with joint marketing such as the Rakas Tampere pass and Christmas campaigns, working groups, training, an information bank and a morning coffee tour. Each year it names a Tampere Person of the Year and a Member Business of the Year. You can join through the website, and the team can be reached by email, on Facebook and on Instagram.
