AboutIn the host's words.

Where is robotics heading, and where do Finland and Europe stand in it?

Five people who see the field from different sides discuss it together: a researcher, an engineer from industry, an entrepreneur, an investor and a student. Expect honest views on talent, funding, manufacturing and what it takes to build robotics companies here.

Audience questions are part of the format. Stay afterwards to continue the conversation.

Speakers:

  • Thomas Höglund, founder of Done Robotics and doctoral researcher in telerobotics

  • Dr. Mika Vainio, Chief Marketing Officer at GIM Robotics, which develops autonomous navigation for mobile work machines

  • Niko Elers, Investment Director at Voima Ventures, a Nordic deep-tech venture capital fund

  • Wenyan Yang, researcher in Robot Learning group at Aalto University

  • Erkka Lehtonen, robotics student and president of Robotics Nation

Moderated by Pavlo Yakymenko, Vice President of Aalto Robotics Club.

Open to everyone. Interested? Register and join us.
