ODDfest

ODDfest is Finland’s next-generation creative festival—think Slush meets Flow Festival. It unites art, business, and future thinking into one event, creating a space where creative professionals, industry leaders, and cultural innovators collide. The Problem We’re Solving: Finland’s creative and cultural industries are vibrant but fragmented. Artists, entrepreneurs, and innovators often work in silos, lacking platforms that connect them with each other, with audiences, and with opportunities for growth. Meanwhile, the cultural spaces that do exist are often either purely entertainment-driven or purely professional—rarely both. Our Solution: We bring the worlds of creativity, business, and culture under one roof—both figuratively and literally. We create spaces, online and offline, where new ideas can be born, collaborations can spark, and culture can evolve. Why We’re Doing It: We believe that creativity is a driver of societal change and economic growth. By making Finland a hub for next-generation creative culture, we’re putting it on the global cultural map—and creating a movement that inspires, elevates, and unites people from all walks of life.
