We are delighted to invite you to an exclusive event in Berlin, specially crafted for our alumni and friends in Germany. Join us for an engaging evening celebrating the dynamic entrepreneurial ecosystem and the power of radical creativity. 

Jens Schmidt, Associate Professor of Strategic Management at Aalto University, will share his views on the dynamics of entrepreneurial ecosystems and the transformative power of radical creativity.

Mirjami Schuppert, Head of Programme at the Finnland-Institut, speaks about speculative fiction as a tool for artistic practice and reflects on the potential of imagination when operating within a multicultural and multidisciplinary environment.

After the meet-and-greet, you are welcome to join us for a screening of Radical Creatives at 19.00. The film is produced by Aalto University and directed by alum Emilia Hernesniemi. The screening and accompanying panel discussion is part of the closing event of the Summation exhibition celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Nordic Embassies in Berlin. After the panel discussion, the evening will continue with the closing reception of the exhibition.

Refreshments and snacks will be served throughout the evening, and the dress code is business casual.  

This event is a fantastic opportunity to reconnect with the alumni community, share experiences, meet with representatives of Aalto University, and explore pathways to harnessing creativity for entrepreneurial success. 

Please confirm your participation by registering via this site by 7 January 2025. 

We look forward to seeing you and sharing an inspiring evening together!
