Minnesota and Finland are already leaders in digitalization trends – so why not work together to mutual advantage? Thanks to a Minnesota delegation to Finland in 2021, a planned Finnish delegation to Minnesota in 2022 and a formal agreement linking us together, mutual business opportunities have never been better. Join us April 20th and April 21st for Digitalization and Energy: Business Opportunities for Minnesota and Finland, a virtual briefing and networking event to bring you up to date on the latest – and connect you to new potential partners.

While digitalization trends touch nearly every sector, digitalization is truly transforming energy – the focus of this session. At this event you will hear from a variety of experts and learn:

  • If you are new to the Internet of Things (IoT): What is IoT in the energy sector, what does it do, and what are some examples?
  • Ideas about how to identify and utilize the opportunities presented by new technologies
  • How to connect and network with colleagues and companies across the Atlantic
  • How Minnesota and Finland are making progress toward decarbonization goals with the help of IoT technology.
  • About Salo-IoT – a campus and incubator of IoT innovators interested in connecting with compatible Minnesota companies.
  • About Finland’s plans to bring a delegation of companies – from several sectors – to Minnesota in June 2022.


Open to one-to-one side meetings with these experts? When registering, tell us about yourself and enjoy access to sign-ups for individual meetings. Be sure to return to the event platform prior to the event to connect with other participants.
