We will hear talks from BusinessOulu OYSTER incubator, University of Oulu Innovation Center, VTT, University of Oulu Kvantum institute, Admescope, FinnAdvance, Professor Caglar Elbuken and Professor Lloyd Ruddock. Between the talks we have a networking hour with snacks and wine and stands from several organizations. The event is wrapped up by a panel discussion by the speakers. Whether you’re a student eager to explore career opportunities or a professional seeking fresh ideas and collaborations, OBNE25 offers a unique platform for expanding your network and for gaining new perspectives. The event is free of charge and open to everyone. Please mark the date to your calendars – this is a unique chance for students to explore career opportunities and for professionals to gain fresh ideas and collaborations. Registration will open in January 2025.
