According to the 2021 budget proposal, total tax funding − tax revenues and central
government transfers combined − is estimated to be lower than in 2020, as the state’s
coronavirus compensation decreases. The growth in operating expenses will exceed tax
funding by far, and the result is estimated to be negative by EUR 43 million in 2021.

Espoo Marketing is now Enter Espoo
THE company that orchestrates the
largest innovation hub in the Nordic
countries and markets tourism is
now known as Enter Espoo. As
a marketing company owned by
the City of Espoo, Enter Espoo is
tasked with attracting companies,
investments and visitors to Espoo
and helping operators succeed in
innovation and tourism ecosystems.
The company’s services have
been developed to help companies
operating in the tourism industry
and innovation environment find
partners, customers and opportunities
for growth. Enter Espoo aims to
generate more jobs, tax revenues
and sustainable growth in Espoo,
for both the company’s partners
and Finland as a whole.
The purpose of the name
change and the clarification of
the business identity is to renew
and crystallize the company’s role
between the innovation ecosystem
and the various actors in the City
of Espoo. The new name better
describes the realisation of the
goals set in the company and City of
Espoo’s strategy, the Espoo Story.
“We are now known by our new
name and image, but we are still the
same reliable and accessible expert
partner,” says Jaana Tuomi, CEO
of Enter Espoo.
Enter Espoo is also currently
building a new enterespoo.fi website,
to be published in full at the
turn of the year.

Paper sport and cultural
vouchers will become a
thing of the past
PAPER sport and cultural vouchers, such as
Smartum, Edenred and Tyky, will no longer
be accepted as means of payment at the
City of Espoo’s service and sales points after
31 December 2020. In the future, sport and
cultural benefits can be paid for by electronic
means of payment, such as mobile phone apps
or charge cards.
Modern, electronic means of payment are
more cost-effective and their use reduces the
amount of manual work. Espoo aims to use digital
tools in its operations. Electronic means of
payment are already very commonly used when
paying for sport and cultural services.
