I am also an expert in risk management and safety development and have performed various tasks in the safety field for 25 years. My tasks vary from development tasks concerning the whole field to constructing individual subject matter entities, in both short development projects and others running for several years. I work in tight co-operation with safety and security experts, companies, authorities, and organizations, and networking and co-operation skills are my special strengths. I have led several collaboration and development projects, and therefore project planning, management and leadership have become strong fields of competence for me. I am also very good at grasping vast entities and new things. I am curious by nature and always willing to learn something new. In my work, I set clear objectives and also plan the work accordingly in collaboration with different operators. I also grasp organization’s operational objectives and draft safety development plans in such a way that they will support and facilitate the achievement of the organization’s primary function. When implementing development measures, my strong competence and experience in education helps me in working with different personnel groups and implementing the results in daily work. During my free time, I like to keep fit by walking my dog and coach junior football team. ​ Contact Pertti Kortejärvi Finland ‭+358 44 972 2549‬ pertti.kortejarvi@scic.io Experience Smart City Innovation Cluster CEO 2022 - PK Safety and Rescue Services Oy CEO 2016 - Finnish Mine Safety Advisory Board Executive Secretary 2011 - Pyhäsalmi Cooperation Cluster CEO 2021-2022 ​ And more Education Doctoral Student UEF Welma 2021 - Specialist in competence-based qualifications Oulu University of Applied Sciences 2011 Teacher education Oulu University of Applied Sciences 2004–2005 Safety training programme and Bachelor of Business Administration Laurea University of Applied Sciences Espoo 2001 - 2003 Physical therapy Oulu University of Applied Sciences 1999 - 2001 Strong suits Project planning Managements Leadership Languages Finnish Native English Professional Swedish Limited

NEWS CHALLENGES WE ARE PRESS RELEASE MEMBERS AREA JOIN US More... SCIC Challenges SCIC operations are Challenge driven. The projects facilitated by SCIC are based on real-life initiatives from cities, organizations, or alliances. These initiatives are called challenges. NEWS CHALLENGES WE ARE PRESS RELEASE MEMBERS AREA JOIN US More... What are challenges Challenges rise from problems that cities and communities are facing globally. Traffic congestion, pollution, and problems posed by climate change to mention a few. And the list is endless. 56% of the World’s population is living in cities, and the number is growing. So is the need for solving cities’ challenges. SCIC has a unique model l for solving the challenges. It launches by submitting it by a challenge owner. Read below for more about the requirements and the process. SUBMIT A CHALLENGE > About challenges Challenge owner A challenge owner can be a city, company, organization, a region or alliance. As the owner is the key stakeholder and user of results after the project, the challenge owner has to be a legal entity. Funding Funding is a crucial part of any successful project. When announcing the challenge, the owner should also state what kind of funding the project gets. A great variety of public and private funding and investment options are available, in which SCIC can facilitate advice but is not applying or control the funding. Description A description of the problem and required expertise should be stated when announcing the challenge. The more carefully this is done, the easier it is to find the team of solvers and kick off the project. Does the challenge require understanding of IoT, safety systems, city planning or carbon neutral engineering? Is there also a need for expertise in project management, legislation, community building and circular economy? Time frame Estimated time frame states if the project is a long-term project that requires many participants in different parts of the value chain, or short-term testing pilot or proof of concept - or something in between. The time frame allows organizations to estimate the required resources and ability to take part in the project. Submit a challenge We actively scout for the most ambitious Smart City challenges from innovative companies and cities. Submit your challenge!
