  • 27.6.2025

SuomiAreena, Gallen-Gallela museo and Createch Finland discuss Finnish creativity as a driving force for innovation – yesterday, today and tomorrow. 

Finnish creative trailblazers, painter Akseli Gallen-Kallela and composer Jean Sibelius – as well as Nokia – celebrate their 160th Anniversary in 2025. In late 19th century, technology was developing just as fast as it is today. How can creativity and technology together build a new Finnish narrative and global success stories?

What are the possibilities if the creatives not just follow technological progress – but lead it?
