The AI Gala is not only a moment of recognition—it is a platform for connection, where new ideas for collaboration are sparked, insights are shared, and Finnish AI excellence is brought into the spotlight.
At the heart of the event is the annual awards ceremony, which highlights the most significant AI projects, individuals, and solutions from across industries and the research community. Awards are presented across multiple categories, recognizing contributions from startups, large enterprises, solution implementers, and technology developers alike. The gala jury is composed of respected experts, industry leaders, and AI pioneers, who evaluate nominees through a broad lens—from impact and responsibility to technical execution and business outcomes.
As a natural extension of the AI Finland network’s ongoing activities, the gala provides a forum for visibility, peer learning, and meaningful exchange within the AI ecosystem.
The AI Gala is more than just an award night—it’s a shared moment to pause, celebrate, and look forward together.
