Join us in defining the future of the Finnish audiovisual industry at the AV Growth Deal workshop 16.5.2022! Leaders and top professionals from AV-related companies will work together with the advisors and officials from the public sector to find concrete suggestions on how to build future growth in Finland.
The building of the AV Growth Deal started in April with a hybrid event, where a group of central AV industry actors took part in panel discussions on the future of the audiovisual field, its growth opportunities and challenges. The next event will be organized on 16.5.2022 as an open workshop, and it will continue to build the common operational model of the AV Growth Deal.
The AV Growth Deal has been given four long-term objectives. The objectives are based on studies of the audiovisual industry, conversations with key stakeholder groups, the views presented at the first Growth Deal event in April and the results of the questionnaire published after the event. The chosen objectives will form the operational model of the AV Growth Deal and also guide the conversations in the workshop organized on 16.5.2022.
