How could we transform the development and application of XR (extended reality) and AI (artificial intelligence) technologies by focusing on human needs and creativity?
Our event presents themes to inspire and challenge you, with the aim to foster collaborations between industry and academia. Targeted at companies from diverse sectors—examples including construction, architecture, games, media, consumer business, and maritime—the event explores how human-centered and creative approaches can shape the future of technology and business. Join us to discover new possibilities.
Business Finland and Aalto University are hosting the event to enhance dialogue between universities and businesses. The program includes insights from leading Aalto University researchers, followed by thematic roundtable discussions aimed at co-creating novel questions for future industry-university projects and initiatives.
Speakers include Pia Fricker (Professor, Department of Architecture), Virpi Roto (Senior University Lecturer, Department of Design), Robin Welsch (Professor, Department of Computer Science), Sanni Siltanen (Mission Lead, Business Finland) and other invited speakers. The programme will be updated in August.
