Finland’s leading AI players and use cases

On 17 November, the AI Gala took place in Turku alongside the AI Summit, bringing together more than 500 business leaders, experts, developers, and decision-makers to celebrate Finland’s AI pioneers and the most significant AI achievements of 2025.

This year, the winners stepped into the spotlight through interactive panel discussions and in-depth interviews, highlighting both the solutions and the people behind them.

Over the autumn, the award categories received nearly 180 nominations—ranging from developers to AI adopters, and from startups to large enterprises.

A thousand ambitious AI initiatives for Finnish business

AI 1000: Growth through AI

AI 1000: Growth through AI is our partner-developed programme that brings AI opportunities directly into the core of executive strategy and decision-making. Our goal is to enable 1,000 ambitious AI initiatives across Finland’s business sector over the next 12 months. During the programme, participants explore key AI technologies in leadership-friendly language, identify the most relevant needs and challenges in their own business context, and translate them into AI-enabled solution ideas that are then prioritized based on expected business impact. As an outcome, each participating organization leaves with 1–2 high-potential concepts that can significantly renew and transform the business.

Companions for the AI journey

AI Finland is for all companies and organizations interested in artificial intelligence—regardless of industry, size, or AI maturity. Our community includes more than 370 member organizations, ranging from AI service providers to companies applying AI to create business value.

We help organizations grow with AI by accelerating both adoption and development. Our goal is to move from pilots to scalable solutions that deliver measurable results and improve productivity. Our services focus on two core themes: building genuine competitive advantage and new revenue streams with AI, and maximizing AI’s impact to boost productivity and performance.

At the same time, we strengthen the international visibility and growth of Finland’s AI ecosystem. We work closely with the public sector, the research community, and industry through joint initiatives, learning programs, and international networks.
