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.

Unioo is building a digital compliance and board management platform to help financial institutions and voluntary associations handle complex regulatory reporting—simply, securely, and without friction. 1. What problem are we solving? Associations in Europe are required by law to submit complex KYC and AML documentation to their financial institutions. This process is often confusing, paper-based, and time-consuming—especially for small, volunteer-run associations. At the same time, banks are struggling to comply with increasingly strict regulations without overloading internal teams or alienating nonprofit customers. 2. How are we solving it? Unioo provides a secure, plug-and-play digital platform where associations can easily complete their mandatory bank reporting. At the same time, they gain access to a suite of free digital board tools—meeting management, task tracking, file sharing and more. Banks receive fully compliant data packages with no internal resource strain. Associations stay compliant while benefiting from better tools for managing their boards. 3. Why are we doing this? We started Unioo as volunteers ourselves. We saw how much time was wasted on outdated processes, and how legal changes (like AML) were turning volunteer work into a bureaucratic burden. Then we realized: we could help both associations and banks by offering one unified solution—tailored for the unique needs of volunteer boards and aligned with financial institutions' regulatory requirements. 4. Why join us? We’re a fast-growing Danish startup backed by strong investors, trusted by 25+ financial institutions, and used by thousands of associations. Our team is small but ambitious—and deeply motivated by the impact we make. If you’re excited about simplifying bureaucracy, building elegant solutions, and empowering civil society, we’d love to meet you.

Many people are talking about the smart grid and how we can reach 100% sustainable energy, and avoid global warming getting out of hand, by intelligently balancing the consumption so it fits with the electricity production.

ARIS Robotics was founded by a shared vision: to steer the world towards a greener future. One of the critical challenges in the green transition is how we manage our resources and waste. Today’s processes are highly linear: raw materials are extracted, processed into products, used a few times, and then discarded—either incinerated or buried in landfills. We aim to change that. At ARIS, our ultimate goal is to create a world without waste. This means transforming linear processes into circular ones. The first step towards effective recycling is good sorting. We develop scalable and automated solutions using deep learning to recognize and sort waste efficiently. Currently, we are serving our beachhead market—public recycling centers. Here, we assist visitors in correctly sorting their waste, extending the lifespan of materials and reducing the need to extract more raw materials from our limited planet. We are always on the lookout for passionate individuals to join our mission. Keep an eye on our open positions, follow us on LinkedIn, or feel free to send us a motivated application. Let’s create a greener future together!
