Oulu Event at Dubai Expo

OULU, FINLAND

City on the Edge:
Exci­ting Futu­re of 6G and the Smart North

Whe­re: Fin­nish Pavi­lion, Expo 2020 Dubai
When: March 18, 10.30 am – 4.30 pm

Regi­stra­tion: Regis­ter here by March 17, 6 pm

Oulu offers the opti­mal eco­sys­tem for cut­ting-edge inno­va­tions and exper­ti­se. During half a cen­tu­ry of glo­bal ICT lea­ders­hip focused on tech­no­lo­gical breakth­roughs, we have lear­ned that our edge does not just cut – it crea­tes.

Eve­ry day, near­ly three bil­lion people glo­bal­ly use mobi­le tech­no­lo­gies deve­lo­ped in Oulu. The city has been at the forefront of 3G, 4G and 5G deve­lop­ment, and is now going fast towards 6G. 6G Flags­hip of the Uni­ver­si­ty of Oulu was even the first – and still lea­ding — 6G RDI pro­gram in the world..

Oulu, the fas­test growing region in the Nor­dics, is an inter­na­tio­nal busi­ness city full of oppor­tu­ni­ties in tech­no­lo­gy, cul­tu­re, and eve­ryt­hing in between, and a hub for research, deve­lop­ment, educa­tion, and co-crea­tion. The col­la­bo­ra­tion between com­pa­nies, the public sec­tor, and aca­de­mia is inten­si­ve.

Join us for Oulu Day in Fin­nish Pavi­lion at Expo 2020 Dubai to learn more!

In the com­pa­ny of our spea­kers and pane­lists, you will disco­ver how futu­re is being crea­ted in Oulu and how it will chan­ge all of our lives.
